Where is all the damn sweetcorn?
I have seen precious little in the market and its like 50c an ear field corn.
Where's the crop?!! I am seriously jonesing
I want it NOW
Sweet corn is three weeks early here in Minnesota. Just had some tiny kernel, bi-color supersweet two days ago. Mmmm-mmmm!
Sorry to hear about the lack of the good stuff down your way. It stinks when you wait all year for it. I remember some skunky years here.
Exit 51 on 75 in Grayson County FRiend! mmmm.... Hey I need a recipe for Andoule gumbo!!!!
it's here in WNY, i got 2dozen last week from a woman at work
I thought ya’ll were using that popcorn for something special to be canned in mason jars....
Grasshoppers ate ours. Seriously.
Fine here in Jersey.
“Mexican” Corn on the Cob
Serves 4
* 4 ears fresh corn, husked and stem removed
* 2 Tbsp butter
* 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
* ¾ cup Cotija cheese, crumbled (or grated Parmesan)
* Dash of cayenne pepper
* Salt and pepper to taste
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl for the corn. When the water is boiling, add the corn and cook for 3 minutes. Immediately remove and plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking. Allow to sit in ice bath for 3-5 minutes. Remove to a dishcloth or paper towel to dry.
Turn a burner on high heat. Place the dried corncobs over the flame, turn occasionally allowing the corn to roast evenly and brown. When satisfied with color, remove corn and immediately coat each ear with ½ Tbsp butter followed by ½ Tbsp mayonnaise. Sprinkle generously with cheese then add seasonings. Serve warm.
Mmmmmm. Do you care to share...? ;-)
U.S. is a big place, bub.
Here in Texas, most of us have had ample rain.
I hope you just forgot the sarcasm tag on your post.
What’s the name of the special stuff you grow?
Sorry about that.
Silver Queen. Mmmmmmm.
Yeah. Me, too.
Think grasshoppers would make good biofuel?
I have lots of customers in that area, Wooster, Mansfield, Youngstown, Cuyahoga Falls, Medina, it is a much different part of the state though from the SW. You run out of Kentucky briar's around Columbus and start seeing a lot of folks with eastern European ancestry. The scenery is great and the people are still Buckeyes. O-H-...
Total corn acreage this year is down from 2008 levels. And, when it comes to corn and ethanol - it's not a food OR fuel proposition, it's food AND fuel.
yup... there's a farm on the road to work named Silver Queen Farm
Your location says Texas.
Peak sweet corn maturity was three weeks ago here in extreme southeast Kansas.
I’ll bet the sweet corn rush in Texas was a week or two before that.
Sorry, almost forgot. Figure $3 per dozen at the local roadside markets. I love the stuff, just don’t have very good luck growing it :(
It’s in my belly. Just ate the first batch.
The Farmers Market 2 miles from my house is bringing local product in by the truck load. Going price is 25 cents an ear.
