Who eats Dent Corn

[rci2950]

I like to flick all the kernels off the cob and cook it over low heat with olive oil, some butter and salt till it is starting to brown. Some good. My wife won't touch it.


In the pan is Pioneer 9929. Alex Jones would blow a gasket.

[N/A]

I live in Texas, where the esteemed Texas A&M University is located. The A&M meaning Agricultural and Mechanical.

I was discussing with the guys at the coffee shop, that as we have seedless watermelons and seedless grapes, that some young Aggie scientist will soon have a seedless ear of corn.

Here in sunny Calirado we grill Olathe sweet corn with the husk on.

Yum!

Never even heard of it, thought it looks interesting.

Its like normal corn but not nearly as sweet, the kernels have a thicker skin and the inside mushy part of the kernel is more like potato in consistency. When cooked the way i just did it, it resembles the half popped kernels in your microwave popcorn bag. The Kernels when uncooked are firm enough to roll them off the cob using your thumbs. They come off without breaking.

Why is that?

That corn does look good though but I like mine on the cob. I love corn on the cob. I may have to try your suggestion though and see how it turns out.

That corn is usually intended as livestock feed isn't it? :naughty:

I'm thinking it could be good in calabasitas.

My Mother did cut the sweet corn off the cob for her Grandfather, I was there. He was Cool. From the Purple Gang time.

Usually referred to as."field corn"...as opposed to "sweet corn".

Hell, if I would known how to cook it back in 1967, it would have tasted a lot better.

I was stationed in Illinois going to tech school. Each night I'd take a shortcut home through a cornfield and stea.... er, liberate some corn. Even after boiling it was tough. Someone told me it was "field corn" for cow & pig feed.
