I forgot to mention...The corn is free---all you can eat.

I wholeheartedly reccomend trying smoked corn, if you haven't.

BTW - good tip for buttering your corn: butter a piece of bread and
roll the ear in the bread! The corn gets evenly buttered, you get a
warm piece of bread with melted butter, and no drippings to clean up.

I would never ruin something as yummy as corn with something as yucky as
smoke flavor. :-)

Raw! Uncooked! Pristine kernels, preferably right off the stalk.

Yumma. Or briefly boiled, slathered with butter and salt. I don't much
like to mess with my corn on the cob.

I have a plethora of suaces, seasonings, herbs and spices; I'm the only
person that I know that can pull grains of paradise out of my cupboard
and buy saffron by the ounce ( I do gift some - nice accoutrement to a
kitchen gift) - so I am into seasoning and flavouring ... maybe a bit
too much according to my family.

But the corn must be taken pure.
