On the Cob or Shredded?
Before I checked on DH's list of needed office supplies, let me share with you my thoughts on Corn.
Corn is definitely a food staple in our household. I mix it with other dishes (adobo, nilaga, stir-fry noodles, chopsuey, salad etc...) because our growing boy is so addicted with these yellow nutritious food. He could finish 4 fresh corn cobs or 2 bowls of shredded (frozen or in can) corn. I used to by him corn on the cobs which I boil really long but later I got tired and buy him the shredded frozen or in cans corn because he ended up asking me to shred the corn from the cobs. Since then, I stopped buying corn on the cobs.
Lately though, I have noticed his decreased interest on corn. He barely touched his bowl full of corn with butter, sugar and salt during his merienda this afternoon. I wonder why. Makes me think of the differences between Corn on the Cobs and Processed Corn.
With frozen (or in cans) shredded corn, you boil it with little time or you can even microwave it for 60 seconds with butter and sugar/salt. It comes out cheaper too. But, you missed the fun and flavor from eating corn on the cobs. While boiling corn on the cobs takes a lot of time, you are guaranteed with fresher corn.
I therefore conclude that Corn are definitely meant to be eaten on the cobs. Kung matyaga ka, ilaga mo!
What a corny entry LOL!
