Corn on the Cob

I have just finished eating an ear of corn given to me by my buddy Chris Wilson at Sprint. WOW! How delightful! Thanks Chris.

Raw Corn on the Cob - Nothing Better
This put me to thinking. Have I ever had "Corn on the Cob" for breakfast before? I don't think so. I guess I never thought about having "Corn on the Cob" for breakfast before. I have eaten Corn Flakes for breakfast all my life. Why not eat unprocessed corn for breakfast? Much healthier!

Then I wondered how many people have eaten RAW "Corn on the Cob". I have brought up the subject several times in recent years, but I have never run into anyone who actually eats it raw. I read a book a few years ago about eating raw vegetables and I've been eating corn and many other vegetables raw ever since and really enjoy them. Everybody just looks at me like I'm some kind of NUT-CASE. Maybe I am, but "Corn on the Cob" eaten RAW is delicious.

I have heard all my life that the best "Corn on the Cob" is eaten with the shortest time interval between the field and the table. Something about the sugar starts turning to starch as soon as you pick the corn. With this in mine, then the best "Corn on the Cob" would be standing in the field, pick it, shuck it, and eat it. Don't bother with the worms. Just eat around them.

I guess I grew up like most people. Thinking you have to cook everything to death or it will harm you some how. I now think there is nothing healthier to eat than raw vegetables.
