How do you eat your corn on the cob?

[LuvOurBird]

David and I had the first corn on the cob this season. He eats his corn across like a typewriter and I eat my corn around.






I go all the way around the cob in a circle then move over and do another circle.



My reasoning is this – freshly cooked corn is not uniformly hot. It cools more quickly on the edges. By eating around on the edges first, you create natural hand holds and then can proceed to eat around to the center, which cools last.



I googled eating corn on the cob and found that if you eat corn across you are analytical, rational and do not like surprises.

If you eat your corn around you are spontaneous, creative and enjoy new experiences.

With my permanent teeth.

I eat around the ends first to get my fingers out of the buttered corn, and then across.

I cut it off the cob and use a fork!

I use these to stay out of the butter while eating across the cob.

I use the plastic holders that are pushed into the ends then eat across.

I eat the ends then go across at an angle to create a spiral.....

"Analytical, rational, and do not like surprises." Sounds like a dead-on description of me. Who knew corn could be such a powerful psychological tool? Corn on the cob is my very favorite food, ever since my paternal grandfather gave me an ear when I had only 2 teeth. It took me a while, but I got through it.

Well of course I do 1 circle around the thick end and then eat across – Typical for a DSB owner

Typewriter style, 4-5 rows at a time.

I need the ability to select multiple answers. For the most part, I use a fork and remove a fork at a time which goes across. If the fork plan isn't working, I circle around. Must be the best of both worlds, oh yeah and definitely woman. :)

Corn has definite rows going across and not around. It looks so much neater when you’re done or half way done. By the way who sucks the juice/butter off the cob when done?
