I love buttered corn! If any of you go to Batangas you’ll see that along Sto. Tomas, there are stalls selling corn on the cob every few meters or so. They’re really sweet, and the vendors would generously brush em with Star Margarine pa. I hankered for the stuff when I was pregnant, my poor husband would go all over town looking for one, and being a typical guy that he is, upon not seeing a single ear of corn, he bought me canned whole kernels instead! I cried like a baby when I saw the can…hehehe

I will surely try this boiled/grilled corn of yours. The timing is excellent since corn has started coming in from Florida. The Canadian grown ones won’t be in till August-September. I could use this as a “companion dish” to grilled pork chops and chicken breasts this long holiday weekend.
Merci beaucoup!

i love eating corn on the cob however way it’s cooked but since i don’t have the privilege of time and space to barbecue ever so often here at home what i do is buy japanese corn at the grocery then i soak them in ice cold water for 5mins.. i remove the silk and the husk then wrap it in 2 squares of kitchen napkins then microwave them for like 5mins.. afterwards i brush them with butter and add salt and pepper.. yummy.. it’s not grilled but i get my fill of buttered corn.. heehehe!

I love corn, unfortunately I’m the only one who wants to eat it here in the family so we don’t usually buy it. I’ll try this corn ala marketman next time we have a barbie party… not sometime soon though since winter is just starting around here and temperature is around 10 degrees C.

hmmm, reading your post reminds me of my freshman year at UP Baguio where my blockmates and I would subsist on grilled corn brushed with Star margarine once our allowances hit dangerously low levels : )

now in Calgary, i’m just waiting for Taber corn season to start….yum.

We prepare ours by plunging them in ice cold water for 15 minutes, and grilling them the same way-
