Beautiful Corn

For those who remember Cotton's - it's "purty corn".

ooooohhh, that does sound like purty corn. organic sweet corn in January seems like heaven.

Sweet corn is a happy food- I like to cut it off the cob and saute it in butter. Yum!

Boiled in water and milk w/ a touch of butter!

Then slathered in butter and eaten w/ the goofy little yellow "corn ear" holders!

After hearing about tales of real Iowa corn I'm not sure I've ever had real corn. People say all you get in the south is feed corn.

Iowa has some great corn, but feed corn is just horrid - you would KNOW if someone fed you that!

As with most items, it's the freshness of it that makes it really great. You eat it in season and within 48 hours of picking and it spoils you for other corn.

Try it raw!! I have a raw salad I make w/corn



Tomatoes, onions, peppers, corn right off the cob, cilantro, lime juice, avocado - and if you like, some black beans. YUM YUM

Thanks for posting and am going to send my dh to get some!

Well Kurt, if you come see us, Rachel and I might just let you try some of this Real Corn. It ain't from Iowa but you still might think you have gone to heaven....

Reporting in to say YUM YUM. Just ate an ear and it was crisp and sweet. A ray of sunshine in winter.

Thanks for posting!

How late are they open?

I grew up in rural western NY and I remember the sweet corn we use to get during the summer. At the corner of savage and 39, George the Farmer always set up a corn stand and sold his sweet corn. He was in his eighties, but still a spry old codger famous for the best corn around. I remember being told that he actually planted his sweet corn in a secret field surrounded by regular corn and only went out in the middle of the night to pick it so no one would find out his secret! Mmmmmmmm that was some good corn. Good memory too...

Could you pick me up some too Scooterbug?

Man its cold outside, I do not think I will go pick it tonight, but we do still have a few ears left at the store for the morning. There just is something to be said about good, fresh corn and I was proud to have it this time of year.

I ended up eating 2 ears

Me too! That is some good corn!
