Not! After making
Southern Fried Corn today I think I prefer the fried way. Well at
least most of the time. Who can't resist gnawing at corn on cob
once or twice through the summer? However, sweet corn can look great fresh
from the field but once you have dropped it in the water and cooked
it, can come out tasteless and tough.

Drizzle of honey (don't ask, just do it)

One of the biggest no
no's for sweet corn is to put it in those plastic shopping bags. Those
darn things wick the moisture right out of the corn and the husk. Sweet
corn is best bagged in a paper bag.
One of my friends
brought 6 ears of corn last night after we had already eaten
dinner. Yup, it was in one of those plastic shopping bags.
Yes, I left it on the counter in the bag overnight. Experiment
in the making.
Lunch time today, I
decided to try my luck at Southern Fried Corn. When
I took the corn out of the bag, the bag was wet but the husks were
dry. When I peeled the corn, it was mostly Butter/Sugar
corn and it looked good. I then proceeded to remove the corn
from the cob with my handy dandy Sweet Corn Gadget and fry it up in a pan. It was a success. The corn came out very tasty. It was sweet and cooked to aldente stage.
