Sweetcorn - fantastic cheap food now available locally!

Fresh, sweet, corn on the cob, a winner for the whole family. My friend Mr Saunders grows his own sweet corn and has the water boiling on the stove before he picks his ripe corn from the veg patch. He then peels off the outer leaves as he walks back to plunge the cob in the boiling water. This he says 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.

Or try it baked in the oven with the leaves on, or on the BBQ. To find your local corn type your post code here.
