Corn on the cob is also known as pole corn, cornstick, sweet pole, butter-pop, sweet corn, or long maize in various regions of the country. Picking the corn when the kernels are tender and in its milk stage yields sweeter kernels. Picking the corn at the kernel stage leads to sweeter kernels.
Boiling, steaming, roasting, roasting, and grilling are the most common ways to prepare corn on the cob. The husks can be left on to retain moisture and flavor during the cooking process whether grilling or roasting sweet corn.
Although it may seem rude, proper dinner etiquette for eating corn includes holding the cob at each end with your fingers is appropriate, according to the author, eating corn is acceptable. Adding more flavor to serving corn on the cob with other seasonings, butter, or oils can give it even more flavor. We celebrated National Herbs and Spices Day on June 10th. Anything you learned while celebrating the day can also be used when enjoying your corn on the cob! Consider roasting your sweet corn with a dash of cilantro and chili pepper.
