We even grew it ourselves for a couple of years, back when I was a teenager. We mostly buy the little cans of niblets now though, because my mom has difficulties eating it off the cob (the curse of dental plates).hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-18148586803647101362008-08-01T01:56:00.000-04:002008-08-01T01:56:00.000-04:00Jo -- Corn!

There where I grew up (South Africa) the farmers used to put them out on the roof along with pumpkins to ripen. Now, when you've eaten corn ripened on the roof, you've eaten corn! So, rather than buy the poor excuse for corn one gets these days, I go walk a mile.<BR/><BR/>Dirtcakes -- sounds intriguing.<BR/>MarilynMarilyn Z.

I don't remember fresh corn in the UK when I lived there, but I do know my father, who ate it in what used to be Rhodesia, said the only way to eat it was straight out of the field. It shouldn't hang around in stores etc. Great if you have your own field.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-32026968347744620182008-07-31T20:03:00.000-04:002008-07-31T20:03:00.000-04:00Then there's the huge amount of TAX that is includ...Then there's the huge amount of TAX that is included in our fuel prices (which somehow, conveniently, never gets mentioned...).<BR/><BR/>My father didn't eat corn either (he said it was because it's what they used to feed the chickens) but the rest of our family love it. :)hrugaarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621922879300266376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-40626361299391329122008-07-31T15:46:00.000-04:002008-07-31T15:46:00.000-04:00well ! you've been busy in writting so many things...well ! you've been busy in writting so many things !<BR/><BR/>It's a nice thing to be vulunteer if you have time for it ^^<BR/><BR/>i love your blog it's like a huge garden which does have a kitchen !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
