Eating Corn on the cob

[LadyCook61]

Hubby and I had corn on the cob the other night, which got me to thinking, do you eat your cob across typewriter style or eat it downwards.
hubby does typewriter style and I eat it downwards.

 

[jabbur]

I'm like you Lady, and eat down and not across. My hubby likes to butter his all at once and like to butter a section, eat it and butter the next section and eat it.

I've always cut mine off the cob, add butter salt and pepper.

Lets see ... I think across about three inches, then down - lol both.

 

[luvs]

we ate corn last night, both typewriter-style.

the only down side to the typewriter method is getting butter all over the little bell at the end of a row.

 

[kitchenelf]

Wow - I had to think - down here.

 

[Uncle Bob]

Typewriter style....all the way to the other end....Ding!.....Rotate...chatter, chatter, chatter ...Ding!....Wipe chin off from dripping butter...Repeat the process!

I always ate cotc typewriter style until last August when I got braces...now I cut it off the cob. Next summer I will go back to typewriter style, and get all the kernels cause my teefs will be in line! yea me!!!

 

[buckytom]

Wow - I had to think - down here.

NOW who's making fun of your height? (you had to think down there?)

I eat all the odd numbered kernels first and then the even.

I'm definitely with ya, Uncle Bob. And I don't chew until my cheeks are stuffed, like a chipmunk.

What a cool question. It reminds me of just how fun, and funny quirks can be.

I cut off the kernels and eat the cob in a cob salad.

Practice .

As I am used to hide from KGB (note the difference it is K and only then GB, not our dear friend GB). I eat the corn in the same manner; I jump from place to place so nobody could figure out the pattern.

 

[buckytom]

i won't ask where you hid it, charlie.

i guess that takes practice too.
