The zen of corn on the cob

[unixronin]

Comparative corn-eating styles:

• I start at the small end and eat kernels in a continuous spiral until I reach the large end.
• cymrullewes starts at the right end and eats in a row to the other end, then indexes à là typewriter and works in the other direction.
• Goose starts at the big end, eats a continuous ring with sort of rapid squirrel nibbles, then indexes over.
• Pirate just sort of attacks hers at random as she rotates it, leaving it looking as though it's been savaged by a ferocious chipmunk.
• Wen gives hers to Goose to eat.  :-)

I'm with your wife.

But the real question becomes: "How do you butter your corn?"
I use cornbread, or a hotdog bun. (If you use the hotdog bun, then you can grill it afterwards. Nummy.)

I smear the butter directly on it, then sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper. Sometimes I smear it lightly with hoisin sauce instead.

Little single serve of butter and smear it on the row I'm getting ready to eat. If I'm all out of single serve then the stick of butter held in the wrapper, but always just the bit of corn I'm getting ready to eat.
