I butter it up, and then saw it off the cob and eat it with a fork.

Chomp.

Anyone who would eat one kernel at a time needs a good slapping.

I usually cut the kernels off the cob, but since that wasn't a choice I picked Orlando Bloom. My sun conure (bright orange parrot) Bonnie then gets the cobs to wreck mass destruction play with.

And yes, she gets corn, too. Just not with butter and all. She likes it au natural.

If I were to tell you, then that would be cheating

I would love to see a parrot eat corn on the cob. I bet she's cute. :)

no option for people who eat around the cob on one end and work their way down the cob - kinda like spindle turning except for corncobs instead of table legs.

She's cute, but boy, is she messy. Of course, if I could convinve her to actually eat her food inside her cage instead of on top of it. But she's so darn cute I can't get mad at her. :)

And before anyone asks the obvious, she knows how to open the door. So closing it doesn't work... :D

Listen, you all need to stop putting Orlando Bloom on the list. I feel obligated to choose him.


I eat it one row at a time....That reminds me that I need to go to the market this saturday and pick some up!

LOL at my book club, there's always the question that comes up of "if you were casting the movie, who would you cast in what rolls?"

I always throw out Matthew Mcconahey (sp?). There's never an argument from the women club members.

I'm with you on the typewriter style.

My husband eats it spiral style--he eats a mouth's width all the way around, then moves down to the next mouth's width all the way around, and so on.

I don't know what's up with that either. I've made a point of teaching my nephew and my godkids to eat corn typewriter style, though.
