I once read that creamed corn has nothing resembling cream in it. I like
your thought to pulse it in a FP.

Pulsing niblets in a food processor won't produce creamed corn, all
the cream part of the corn was left behind on the cob when removing
the niblets, then freezing or canning in liquid further removes any
possiblity of turning it into creamed corn. I'd say go to the store
and buy a few cans... I like creamed corn, I often eat it straight
from the can as a snack so I always have a good supply, like a dozen
cans. That's one product where the national brands are best, the
store brands are not nearly as good and the generic typically contains
lots of cob bits, not very pleasant eating.

Uggg...maybe I'll get a can and try it both ways. Thanks for the
heads up on the name brands. I don't much care for creamed corn but
it sure seems to be part of these fritters.

At the time I replied I didn't know about fritters, just thought you
needed creamed corn, didn't know why. For fritters pulsed niblets
would work just as well, frozen or canned. In fact I think for
fritters I'd want more niblets than pulsed... slice the niblets off
some well roasted ears for better flavor ... probably add some crispy
bacon and diced jalapenos too.

OK. I'm going to pulse them. I didn't get to it Saturday because we
made last minute plans and had company. Sunday we were busy and
picked up this little bundle which will confuse the hell out of those
who didn't like my cat execution post. I'll get to the fritters ASAP
though.

Meet Quinn. He was born a few days before Easter. He'll probably
taste like chicken if he ****es an anything and I stir-fry his cute
little ass. You'll appreciate this more than anyone here probably.
I'm not a cat lover but when I held him a few weeks ago I knew he was
coming home with us as soon as he was old enough to leave mama.

Sucker. Cute little kittens grow up to be cats.

Are you kidding me?? I never thought you'd get a cat. How cute is he!
Very sweet. He'll probably use his litter just fine.

I ended up not making it Saturday but the pulsing thing is what I'll
do. Thanks.
