The rolls and consumme were not home made. I simply assembled the
sandwiches. Canned creamed corn is not what you remember from
childhood. It's easy to make and a treat. Try it sometime. I've
never bought corn on the cob from a store but the stuff from Costco
was very sweet. I'm assuming it was one of the sugar enhanced or
super sweet varieties that hold sweetness for a long time after being
picked.
BTW. I am growing TripleSweet this year. It does not require
isolation from other corn varieties and is more tolerant of soil
temperature for planting.
I'll look for the prime rib slices you mentioned. Who doesn't love a
rare beef sandwich on a crusty roll?
