Here in NY local farm stand corn is a dozen ears for $3, when it was a
good crop you get a baker's dozen. Earlier corn is imported and costs
a bit more, perhaps a dozen ears for $4. I'm not big on corn so I may
buy 2 dozen ears a season. What deters me from corn on the cob is
afterwards having to spend at least ten minutes frush and flossing,
flossing and brushing. I like corn but I much prefer frozen
niblits... actually my favorite is canned creamed corn, I especially
like it in corn muffins.
