corn on the cob/ a different topping

[Maze 686]

I put right on the grill, silk and all. It steams itself and the leaves won't burn.
No butter or salt needed.

Haven't tried it yet but heard it was good and intend to find out soon, but sprinkle powder Ranch dressing mix in the shuck then grill.

This reminds me of that story Sip was telling me about how he and Caje accidentally invented Reese's Peanut Butter Cups . . .

I heard they invented jello shots!

Corn

After an all day bonfire stand corn with husk silk up submerged in water till stops bubbling , rake out a bed of 3-4 in of hot coals lay in corn cover with more coals, outside will be black , experiment with time approx. 30-45 min will turn parts brown like candy corn , have a stick of butter & salt ready. Add beer to wash down.

I am a corn on the cob fanatic, now I have to try all these great flavors. My corn in the garden is only about three inches high. Knee high by the forth of July, don't think so this year. Gotta make a trip to the store, I can't wait to try some of the above recipes.

That sounds good but--DONT ever use garlic salt or powdered garlic--to use as an ingrediant tomake: Egg Salad with. I mistakenly used one or the other thinking it was salt--and though OK the first time--the left-overs were pretty schlecht. I was barely able to force myself into finishing that batch.

haven't been able to do garlic, cooked green peppers for years. i'll do some hot stuff. but pay for it the next day!! my friend hot packs cresmen red peppers and salsa that only he eats.

Old Bay, with or without butter.

If you have an Atkins or a GNC health food store near you, I recommend picking up a seasoning mix called Spike. You can get it with or without salt, & what it does to so many different foods but especially corn on the cob or popcorn is amazing!

deep fried corn on the cob...The end taste result is going to be something of a hybrid between movie popcorn and kettle corn.

a friend likes cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on his.

Estilo Mexicano:
Mayo, lime juice, chile powder and salt. Hijole!

Sour cream is another substitute for mayo in the above recipe.

Yep, especially if you can get Agria; Mexican style sour cream. Look for it in latino markets. Cacique is a good brand. It's thinner than our goopy style sour cream, spreads easier.
In Mexico corn on the cob is usually field or tamale corn that has been picked while it's still in the milk stage. Super sweet hybrid varieties aren't the norm. It tastes like corn, not sugar. When roasted it's much chewier. I like both kinds but don't eat a lot. Corn spikes my blood sugar worse than Oreos and Coke.

I like mayo on a sandwich, but I thought on corn it was just nasty. Same with fries, it ain't right in my book. I like Badquaker's idea. I've used spicy seasoned salts before. Your favorite finely shredded cheese, and herbed butter. Lots of options on corn. Actually, I like good fresh corn just warmed and plain.

On fries, you have to also have Ketchup to dip the other end in--like the Germans do. I thought dipping in Mayo was a sick idea-till I tried it while eating with some German friends in Bremerhaven--not bad at all. I still do it when eating fries sometimes. Its no worse than using Ketchup.

I KNOW its a matter of taste....

That is a common street snack in Mexico: Corn on the cob (elote) with crema and chili powder. Muy sabroso.

Caje & Sip invented the belly button shots. Gawd, can you imagine the lint, hair and fuzz till they got it right.
OK, I'm gonna go bleach my eyeballs now..........

 

[therevjay]

Tried mayo on fries, didn't like it. Ketchup, blue cheese or ranch dressing are OK. But vinegar is "da bomb!"

Here in Pueblo, Colorado, we eat a lot of Mexican food. The annual Chile & Frijole event is huge. In late summer the chiles are being harvested and chile roasters are set up all over, with the smell of roasting chiles in the air everywhere. We buy chiles by the bushel, freshly roasted, and keep freezer bags full for the coming year's cooking.

Everyone has their personal preferences. Pueblo chiles, Anaheims, Big Jim, Hatch chiles, Albuquerque chiles, and a dozen other varieties. Some are mild, others could be used for pepper spray ingredients. A stew of pork, chiles, onions, tomatillos, and spices (every family has their own recipe, which they KNOW to be the BEST) is called simply "green chile" (or chile verde, if you prefer) and is used as a topping for anything and everything (two local restaurants were featured on "Food Wars" with their "Sloppers", hamburgers and french fries smothered in chile verde, a local favorite).

My corn on the cob recipe is simple. Nice fresh roasting ear with a pat of butter, a little salt, and a roasted chile, wrapped in foil and roasted on the upper rack of the gas grill while the steaks, chops, or whatever cook on the bottom rack. Delicious!

Just for the record, the word is chile (CHEE-leh), not "chilly". Chile verde can be served with beans (frijoles), but beans are not part of the recipe. Ground beef and chili powder have no part in it either.

Thanks guys now I'm hungry for corn.

On the farm on Saturday nights after the farm stand closed we had a wood fire with a super large pot of boiling corn on the cob. We had those big one pound of butter bricks to roll the corn in and salt. Those were the Times I miss.
