online but it's not the sort of thing that I want to buy by the case.

It used to be available at pretty much every salad bar but I haven't seen it
on any for some time. Not that there are many salad bars around here any
more. There aren't.

I haven't seen it at the grocery store either but I am not sure where to
look for it at. It doesn't seem to be on the aisle with the canned
vegetables. Is it with the Asian foods? I used to buy it once in a while
but most likely at the military commissary. I rarely ever go to the one
here as it is very small and pretty useless. We do seem to go every few
years but then I generally come out with just a very few things as they
can't beat the prices at places like Winco.

Do you eat baby corn? If so, what do you do with it? I used to mainly
serve it on salad. Once in while in a stir fry but I rarely make those.

No, you don't want to buy a case of it.

I grow baby corn here each spring. Just a small amount in pots
on my back porch. Lately, I've just been feeding the squirrels.

Baby corn is mainly for visual appeal in salads, imo. Taste one
by itself - it's not all that. Just substitute your favorite
mature corn kernals for stir fry or salads. Save your money
for other things.

I can buy them from my grocery store's salad bar but I don't.
I'm not paying $5.99/lb for stupid baby corn (mostly baby cob).

Yes, you'll probably find it in the Asian or "ethnic" foods aisle. I
don't eat baby corn, no particular reason. I had to laugh when Tom
Hanks was eating baby corn in one of his early films, 'Big', treating it
like regular corn on the cob.

So-called "baby corn" is about as nutritious as a glass of water. Just a special variety of limited value...mostly for "eye" appeal.
Total waste of money IMHO.

Not all food is about nutrition. By your lights,
chocolate is a total waste of money.

Yes, among the other canned Asian veggies; straw 'shrooms, bean
sprouts, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots...

Your salad bar is only $5.99? That's a bargain, ours is $8.99.

No thanks. Taste is not that same, IMO. I wouldn't want mature corn in most
salads and for sure not in a stir fry.

$5.99? Most salad bars here are $8.99 per pound which is why we don't use
them.

And that is your opinion. I'm not eating it for nutrition. It's just cute

Thanks! I will look there. I rarely buy Asian stuff so don't usually go
down that aisle.

You should try it. It's not bad. It has a taste reminiscent of corn,
but milder.


I can imagine how exciting a Bove stir fry would be. Most people use a
variety of vegetables in their stir fries. Given the range of vegetables
that Julie doesn't like, won't eat, can't eat, the vegetables that he
daughter and husband can't, don't or won't eat, I can't imagine what
could be in one.

Thanks. I never look for asparagus so it might well be next to it. Will
try to remember to look the next time I go to the store.

Probably be mostly beans and baby corn.

The range of vegetables I can't eat is small. We just don't like stir fries
too much no matter what is in there. We're also not very big into Asian
food.

I don't put beans in a stir fry.

I looked this morning. Salad bar is now $5.49. Prices seem to be
a lot less on this coast. I can buy chicken quarters (thigh & leg)
for 39 cents a pound this week (sold in 10lb bags)

I also bought an 8lb bag of russet potatoes for $2.99 today.

I bought a 10lb bag of russets for $1.88 last week. No Frills had them
on special. It should last us until summer.

I have gotten 5 pounds of potatoes for 99 cents at Winco. But no kind of
chicken is really cheap here.

For the most part, yes they are. I have a friend in NC who constantly
taunts me with what he pays for this or that. However, I saw baby
corn (fresh) in the produce section today. It was a 8-10 oz package
of corn mixed with sugar snap peas for $2.99.

> I can buy chicken quarters (thigh & leg)

I guess you get those good prices because you're surrounded by chicken
processing plants. Currently, boneless chicken thigh and breasts are
$1.99 lb and I can buy them individually from the meat case. I
thought the price would go back up this week, but it hasn't.

I don't know what I'd do with 8lb of potatoes. They'd spoil before I
used them up - you know the saying: the most expensive food is
whatever you throw out.

I bet you do. Most people do. My wife low carbs so she rarely has any,
even when the cooks them for me. We rarely have them more than twice a
week, so if we were buying them weekly it would be a matter of 4-5 per
week to buy. It's much cheaper to buy a larger bag. Tonight is a
potato night because she is roasting some with the lamb. Tomorrow we
might boil a bunch and then same them for home fries. I am going to get
hassled when I come back from the grocery store with another bag of
them, but that's fine. I can throw out a couple bad ones and still save
money.

I mostly buy them loose these days and I try to remember to restrain myself.
I am the potato lover in this house. Husband and daughter will eat them
occasionally but they don't even eat what would be a normal serving. Just a
couple of bites is enough for them. So 4-6 small, red or Yukon gold
potatoes is usually more than enough for us for one meal.

But once in a while when I see a super good deal I will go for it and
they'll get potatoes whether they want them or not.

Grin, compost them? Works for us. We don't waste many but the few
that do get not used, either go compost to friends or the squirrels
like them.

LOL!
People that like baby corn just like to eat mostly baby cobs since
they
are so tender. I wonder if you could braise some mature corn on the
cobs
and eat the softened cobs.

Cut the corn off the cobs and save for another meal.
Meanwhile, cut the cobs into medallions and braise until tender.
There must be something you can do with them after that.

Here's one idea that comes to mind. Once tender, tempura batter
the cob medallions then deep fry. Put on paper towels to drain
and immediately coat with powdered sugar.

hmmmm LLM

OK I admit it, I am eating my way through Texas.

Make me a new zip code, or two.

I need the space to put my blob of a self in.
