boil them and eat them butter

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 22/08/2006 17:06

cut them in half and boil

WigWamBam · 22/08/2006 17:06

Boil them for 5 minutes in water with a tiny bit of sugar in, eat them dripping with butter. You can serve them with jacket potatoes or sausages if you want to but they're gorgeous just cooked simply on their own.

boil 5min or till kernels are tender, smother in butter and pepper, stick forks in ends and gnaw off kernels

eat as starter so can wash butter off face before main course

5min or till tasty

peel stringy stuff back banana-fashion and snip off at base with scissors

SaintGeorgeMarple · 22/08/2006 17:08

If they are fresh just strip off the loose green stuff and any stringy bits.

Then use your teeth not a hacksaw

What do you mean by "crap"? The leaves and silks you just peel back and pull off before boiling.

The kernels you just chew at as you get butter all over your face while holding the cobs in your fingers (could never be bothered with "corn on the cob holders")

Alternatively, just srape the kernels off raw and make up a salad with tomatoes and whethver other salad ingredients you have. Think it was Gordon Ramsay who was waxing lyrical abot raw corn on the cob kernels last wee.
