My aunt picked up a dozen ears for me at a local farm
stand that we always patronize. The only corn I will buy
is from a farm stand or one farm market I frequent. I will
not buy corn from the supermarket under any circumstances.

Boy was this stuff good. Maybe it was mostly that it's been
a year since I had any but I wanted to eat the whole dozen
ears at one sitting. Luckily I had only cooked 2 ears, so that's
all I ate. Now I'll have some for other meals. ;-)

I cooked it in the microwaves and rolled each ear in butter and
then sprinkled lightly with salt and then lots of smoked paprika.
Yum!

I don't eat corn on the cob very often, but the other day I was at the
local fruit stand when the owner came in from the field with a bushel
basket of corn that he had just picked. I took one cob and put in on the
grill to cook while I got the burgers ready. It was delicious.

Last year the corn never did come through due to the
extremely hot and dry weather. That made the first corn
of the year that much sweeter a few weeks ago. The farm
stand didn't have any corn, darn! but just then the truck
pulled up from the fields and it was all good.

Fresh corn on the cob is only around for a relatively short
amount of time, I say eat it while you got it! Hee.

We always do it on the bbq. Pull the husk back on one half, smear on
some butter and mexican pepper. Shoot, I may just have to do that
tonight!

Where do you live? I've been eating good sweet corn (mostly white) for a
month. I usually microwave it in the husk; 1 min 30 per ear. Serve with
butter or butter substitute and a sprinkle of hot paprika or chili.

Pure sacrilege. Corn needs nothing; like beef, it should stand on
it's own. Delicious!

To each their own. I remember recently talking to you about corn and
cotija cheese. It's fine with just butter but the cheese takes it to
another level.

Yes, Schramm's. But this year their corn is $6.50/doz. and it's
no longer a baker's dozen. :-( Of course it's gone up everywhere.
The corn I got was $5/doz. - last year it was $4/doz.

It's also good without the salt, just the paprika. My smoke paprika
is almost gone so I'm switching to ancho chile powder when I run out.
That's good also. And I might try the chipotle chile powder also.

It's not the first corn of the season for the area (sw PA) but it was
*my* first corn of the season, since I had not been anywhere there was
a farm stand. The closest one is at least 8 miles away and I didn't
want to spend the money on gas to get there and back just for the
corn. My car get horrible mileage.

I would say a really good quality steak needs nothing.
But I like something on corn - either salt or something
like the paprika. Maybe it doesn't need it but I like
the flavor contract. And of course butter is de rigueur
on corn.

I don't know what thier corn is like but 6.50 isn't a lot for good
corn. We get Mirai from twin garden farm and it's 7 bucks a dozen.

My grandparents grew corn on their farm so I've had corn that was
picked an hour before we ate it and it wasn't as good as this stuff.

Good fresh picked corn needs nothing, maybe a beer to wash it down...
same with a really good steak... so-so stupidmarket steak benefits
from seasonings, as old corn really needs butter and salt. I don't
remember ever putting pepper on corn, I'll try it but somehow I don't
expect it to be a good combination, plus those dark specks will make
the corn look diseased. Corn on the cob is one vegetable that I don't
want anything to besmirch its virginity... I like my lips to be first
to have at those thirteen rows.

Here in southeastern Michigan there is a great farm stand out by Metro
Airport (Blocks at Middlebelt + Eureka Roads). The corn comes to the
stand within minutes of being picked. It is wonderful stuff. And the
price is a LOT less than what some of you have quoted as a good price.
As many as you can fit in a large plastic (store provided) bag
(unshucked) for $2.99. It's easy to get 18 ears in a bag, at least.

I just had some grilled fresh cob of corn. Due to cardiac diet I had it
with no salt and no butter and it was quite tasty. It was, BTW, freshly
picked.

I've seen corn recently for three for a dollar recently in supermarkets
but fresher ears cost me 50 cents each a few days ago at a local
Farmers' Market.

OT, or rather "older topic", three types of donut peach were still on
sale at the market...Good too!

Around here it is selling for 50 cents per cob $2.50 per half dozen or $
per dozen. A few days I was in a supposed discount grocery store where
they were selling packages of 5 shucked cobs on special...... 2 packs of
5 for $5. I wondered how many people thought the 2 for marketing made
it a good deal.
