#1 for sure. slathered in butter with a little season all.

#1, just the corn for me, no butter, no salt. I also prefer the very sweet white corn over traditional yellow corn. And kernels the smaller the better.

Other- popped.

I think canned, creamed corn was invented by demons.

it's like the corn is all mushed up. already chewed looking. sounds gross but it's better than not being able to eat it at all.

they likely don't sell enough of it there. have you tried running it through a food processor?

no I haven't...I can take corn or leave it tbh, I probably wouldn't bother doing that, but thanks for the tip, I'll remember if I ever need it...

i like to make my own. i put it in the food processor and heat up cream cheese with butter and sugar and add it to the corn with some parsley. it's delicious.

When we moved to the small town in Nebraska, we rented a house that had a huge corn field
that was just across the road.

I'm thinking the old farmer wouldn't mind me 'borrowing' a few ears from his many acres.
Asked around and was told probably not a problem as long as it was just a few ears.

When he started to harvest that season, I walked over and got about 6 ears for a BBQ.
Not being a farmer type or understanding what KIND of corn it was, it was a disaster!
He raised 'Field Corn' for feed and to make Ethanol with, not sweet corn.
No matter how long you cooked it, it was just tough and starchy.

Live and learn.

#1, with butter, salt and pepper. Best were ears of corn that were rapid boiled by old steam tractors at yearly reunions.
