Finally..............It's CORN SEASON !!!!
 

The local corn is starting to come into its own, they started selling it at the farmers market yesterday:thumbsup Had the peaches and cream last night which is my favorite.

It was ok,a tad bland for my taste, still needs a week or so of maturing, before it's full flavour. Got some from a different farmer tonight, about to put the pot on to boil:thumbsup

Who else is getting some ?:winkwink:

peaches and cream ... corn?

YUP, thats what they call it, it has mixed yellow and creamy colour kernels :thumbsup

Can't wait. :thumbsup

well eating corn is sorta new to me since i protested it for years until recently.

but peaches and cream corn isnt something ive ever heard of...

what else is there? pumpkin pie corn?

For edible corn around here, they usually have the Super Sweet, which is all yellow, as the name implies, it is really sweet, dont care for it. The other is the peaches and cream. I will search , high and low , see if they have "pumpkin pie":upsidedow

Dont be going and looking for any kind of food when youre high... you come back with too much!

Happy hunting :thumbsup

Hoping Monsanto didn't have any input to the corn

Yeah the corn in Chilliwack, BC is great. I look forward to the summers, its on the side of the road everywhere, peaches n cream too. But since I discovered the packaged corn in the stores that sells all year around and is pretty much equally good, i dont get quite as excited.

There is never one that tastes any different:

I like to buy them at the roadside stands ,when they are freshly picked, support the local growers:thumbsup

Yup, I'd say maybe another week and entire crops will be perfect.

Good ol Manitoba-grown peaches 'n cream corn at it's finest. Love it love it love it.

Yeah as do I, if I pass one, i still can't help but stop. I just meant i dont get quite as excited now. How much are they when you stop at a stand? Roughly? I can't remember what they are here

its early in the season, so its 6 bucks a dozen right now, but prices will come down in a couple of weeks:thumbsup

I like white corn the best myself. Not sure if it's an actual strain or if it's just early, but I think it's much better than yellow.

i havent grown corn in a while. it sure does taste better with a good butter and a grilled steak or ribs

Yeah, so more reason to get them from the stands, the ones I get that are good all season cost 5-6 bucks for 4..

Protested corn?

Very fresh, kernels turgid. I see the dog approves.

I didn't know that dogs liked corn on the cobs

he likes to chew on the cobs after, because of the butter and salt:1orglaugh

Interesting fact. Before toilet paper was invented, people used to wipe their ass with corn cobs... hence the word "cornhole."

Figured that was relevant. :1orglaugh

Beautiful corn! Gonna search for it at the farmers.

A friend of mine's dog used to eat them too. Then he swallowed whole a quarter kernal. Didn't shit right for 2 weeks. Thought he was going to die. Then he sounded like a bitch giving birth and bamb, we was suddenly ready to do it all over again.

You really know your corn!

I grow my own, but it won't be ready until September.

cornhole is a game here played in the fall/winter :) when i first heard the name i was like wtf is this?? i was thinking you shove a piece of corn up someones rooter :1orglaugh

my garden did great this year except for the corn. i planted it too deep and it didn't grow. started buying at roadside places, and some of it's been amazing!

I tried several times over the years, never ever got the quality of the ones I can buy. Tonight is round 3 of corn, just got some really, really freshly picked ones , they just came in from the fields with them:thumbsup

I will call YOU the GREAT CornHolio from now ON !!!

CORNHOLIO>.............:thumbsup

i'm gonna get some soon. though i like to soak the corn for an hour or so in water and then cook it on the bbq.

I tried every which way, didnt work , so I just go for the sure great taste of the place I get it from:thumbsup

hate that shit ... gives me a VERY serious heartburn ... no corn for me - THX

Oh thanks, I think :Oh crap

yeah you gotta watch out for this, it can cause blockages for sure, keep all the husks our of reach for the dogs, they will hunt them out of the garbage--especially if you have labs!

Yup ! Saves on butter and salt for adding flavour ! :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Been eating corn with our BBQ food for about 3 months already down here in Windsor. Picked up a batch of freshly picked corn on Saturday, it was delicious.

I think last time I ate corn last year...

That corn looks great, I had some this weekend that my ex-brotherinlaw grew and it was soooooo fucking good.

This brings me back to when I was 13, I had a summer job picking vegetables for an old dutch guy. If you were fast, they would keep you on for the corn season. We would be picking about 30 bushels an hour, and still we couldn't keep up with demand.

For corn, I like grilling it after its buttered, especially if you make a compound butter. Favorite so far is a chili lime butter.

I'm planning on heading to the farmer's market tomorrow and grabbing a bunch. With a little side salad of some fresh tomatoes with just a bit of cracked pepper and sea salt... Perfection. Especially with some beautiful cherries for dessert.

Love corn and its something that is available here most of the year.
