Fresh, sweet, corn on the cob, a winner for the whole family.
Those people who grow grow their own sweet corn say the water should be boiling on the stove before they pick the ripe corn from the veg patch. They then peel off the outer leaves as they walk back to plunge the cob in the boiling water.
This they all say is the ultimate way to have corn on the cob.
I have not been fortunate enough to experience this taste sensation, but did have some corn from my local farm shop only 3 hours old, for only 30p each. I was amazed that it was so sweet and moist I did not need the usual butter coating.
So don’t delay, forget the aged supermarket corn and get down to your local farm shop. Maybe phone first to find out when they pick it and get the kids involved in the race to eat the sweetest corn.
