Corn on the Cob

[Tetedelacourse]

No, not cockney rhyming slang.

Why is it nigh on impossible to buy full corn on the cobs these days? Everyone seems to only stock half cobs.

Infuriating.!

If you go to a (shock horror) high street grocers (and not one of the tescopoly) you'll find fresh full corn cobs.

Dave.

Never noticed this problem tdlc, we seem to be having them almost every night at the moment, they are great at this time of the year. Maybe it's a Scottish thing? Will whole ones not fit in an anverage size deep fat fryer?

For many of us these ceased to exist some years ago
In my locality Lidl usually has corn on the cob in stock.

 

[Tetedelacourse]

I'm talking frozen ones, not fresh ones which seem to take forever to cook.

Why chop them up, thereby creating twice the work for the holder-sticker-inner?

Dom I made sure I have a large enough deep fat fryer to engulf your head, should we ever meet. I imagine you'd taste a bit like black pudding.

Hey tete!!
they probably chop them up to get rid of the bad bits!!
I don't bother with frozen ones m'afraid....

Anyone who eats frozen ones when they're fresh in the shops should be hung drawn and quartered.

or is that a bit harsh?

Not in the least.

It gives my brother atrocious wind. I discovered this when I was sitting next to him on a 4 hour flight to tenerife, after he ate corn on the cob. There was no escaping it. I was traumatised for days.

well, i bought loads the other week (about 35 cobs(for a bargain 2 pound)) and froze most of them, but i do however defrost and cook them before eating them, so as long as this doesn't apply to me, go ahead!!!

It's easy to get whole corn cobs at the supermarkets. They are one of the things, along with bags of potatoes, organic apples and oranges and bagged salad that are very often sold at a vastly reduced price at my local Sainsburys at about 7pm each night.

 

[dantheman]

i still prefer mine from the market..

 

[marinyork]

I rarely see corn on the cobs.

Come off it Kirsty, as everyone knows:

Whoever smelt it, dealt it!


Corn on the cob (fresh obviously) roasted on the barby - Yum
