We may not put a *whole* ear on the plate, but we certainly have manageble
chunks.

And we either use the nifty little corn holder thingies, or our fingers.

If push comes to shove, we'll just cut the corn off the cob and scoop it
off the plate.

As for not "counting" because it's not a whole ear....... it's still corn,
and still on the cob.
