My husband was shucking corn a little while ago and inside he found a tiny
ear of corn next to the whole ear. It looks like the kind you'd see pickled.
Never saw that before.

"What is Georgia Chicken?"

That's what I want to know.....must have something to do with pecans (or
peaches).

Wayne,

It's one of my favorite ways to prepare chicken. I usually cut the recipe
in half and use skinless thighs instead of the cut-up chicken.

About 4 years back we were over at my parents' house and my daughter and
her friend, A, were given the task of shucking and cleaning the corn for
dinner.

I was summoned to the kitchen by a shriek of alarm.

A, a city girl, born and bred, had pulled back the husks on one of the
ears of corn and found what I can only describe as A Thing.

It was a smooth silver gray oval, maybe two inches long by an inch and a
half wide, sort of a cabochon in shape, perhaps 3/8" thick at the
center, thinner at the perimeters.

It lifted away cleanly from the corn when pried up with the edge of a
spoon. The Thing bore the imprint of the corn kernels on its underside,
the corn itself was unmarked.

I cut it in half lengthwise (to the accompaniment of more yelps and
squeals) and the texture was smooth and uniform all the way through. No
sign of internal structure or organs or any other gooshy stuff that you
might expect from any sort of larva. Cut it again crossways, nothing
but more of the same.

Shrugged, tossed it in the trash to be followed, at the girls'
insistence, by the host ear of corn.

My impression was of some sort of fungus or mushroomy thing, but the
corn fungus images turned up on a google search looked nothing like what
we'd found.

Never seen anything like it before or since.

Yeah, that happens sometimes.
Corn is a Natural Product. Expect Some Variation.

As Wayne said, that is so cute!! I think you should reunite the baby
corn with its mama corn. The baby corn looks sad and lonely.

Thank you, Chris! I usually make traditional southern fried chicken the
way my grandmother did, but this sounds particularly good!

I've saved the recipe to make the next time I have a hankering for fried
chicken.

Thanks for posting the recipe.

Flickr is really easy to use; I am sure you are not nearly as obsessive
as I am about the photography, though.

Yeah. It looked like some sort of fungus but it didn't really match up
to either the pictures or descriptions of corn smut. Like I said, it
lifted away easily - didn't seem to be part of the corn itself, which is
what you see with smut. And it wasn't black inside, it was gray. Maybe
it was immature, or just some sort of atypical variant.

Every time I see a baby corn I can't help but think of Tom Hanks
trying to eat one in the movie Big. Too funny.

I could go for that menu. I'd swap you for an Italian supper.

Heh. My mom used to make a version of this when I was a kid. Instead
of melted butter or margarine, she dipped the chicken in a mix of beaten
egg and milk before dredging in the cornflake crumb mixture. Much lower
in fat, and equally tasty, I believe

Abnormalities in corn and many other vegetables is very common, there
are many reasons, some genetic, some due to stress; weather/
fertilizers, and sometimes for no definitive reason. In my own garden
I often find abnormalities, side shoots occur often, sometimes along
side, sometimes internally, sometimes in multiples such as two or more
cabbage heads on one plant, usually externally but sometimes
internal. Last year a few of my fennel plants produced multiple bulbs
both external and internal on the same plant.. tasted just fine....
I've grown celery the same. Corn very often will occur with multiple
ears from a single node like a bouquet. From such abnormalities are
how new plant varieties are sometimes developed.

I like flickr's uploadr program; it makes it really simple to upload and
organize and tag in one step.

that on corn....

Michael,

I'm really looking forward to seeing the "before and after" pictures of your
kitchen. The photo of my kitchen is somewhat misleading. The kitchen
cabinets look quite pinkish, but they are really bleached oak. I do love my
island (couldn't do without it), but I'm still thinking of changing out the
island counter from Corian to butcher block. Pastorio thought it was a
great idea.

The baby corn is in a pickle jar and the other corn is in our stomachs <g>!
