Eating corn on the cob Login/Join

I have seen a TV commercial with a guy eating corn on the cob a way I don't do it. I'm interested in how others do it.

Question:
How do you eat corn on the cob?

Choices:
From side to side across the rows
Around and around
I slice it off with a knife
I don't eat corn on the cob

I actually had to think about it, no rhyme or reason, but I go between 1 & 2.

Just twist and bite. I don't eat it like I'm a typewriter.

I typically eat 4 rows at a time, side to side.

It's really uncanny the way men vs. women eat corn on the cob. I heard years ago that most men got side to side and most women go around. Since then, whenever we eat corn on the cob with friends, I take notice. Without exception, more than 90% of men do go side to side and the same for women going round and round. Check it out next time for fun, you'll be amazed.

I eat it exactly like a typewriter. If you listen closely, you might even hear a little "ding" when I get to the end of the cob. Big Grin

Like a typewriter (the corncob resembling its paper roller), from end to end, in rows. Around the circumference is like a lathe.

Typewriter style here.



I start out munchin' four rows and then assess what remains. I gotta have either three or four rows. Two is to few and five is too many. This is quite important. I also don't mind if it cools off a bit so more butter sticks to it.

4 or 5 swipes down with a knife and I don’t have to pick it out of my teeth.

Wonder what kids today call that, since most have never seen or operated a typewriter?

First pass: bite off two or three rows along the length of the cob.

Subsequent passes: One row at a time, along the length, but with a chisel action to lever out the whole kernels rather than biting off the top and leaving the root attached.
