Yes, grocery store corn can taste and have the texture of the stuff used to feed livestock but I find even in my lowly Giant, it's better than frozen. |
Do you prefer wetting the husks after removing the silk, or grilling them dry with just residual moisture? |
People who have had decent sweet corn can definitely tell the difference. |
For something like corn chowder, absolutely. But nothing beats fresh corn on the cob. |
i hate it when people do this! |
It's a dick move. |
Nah. People only eat fresh corn a handful of times a year tops. Nobody is an expert on the subtleties of fresh vs frozen. It’s too difficult to tell. And sometimes the fresh cobs are totally mediocre. |
Agree and I grew up in Iowa! I've had good sweet corn but it's too much effort. Nothing worse than getting some of that silk in your teeth! |
I’m promise I can tell. The taste and texture are different. I’m glad you’re happy with it, though. It really doesn’t matter to me. |
I've found frozen peas are generally better than fresh peas.
Corn I don't see a huge difference but I tend to cook the two differently anyway. Peas and corn, IMHO are the beat veggies from frozen, easy to store and easy to cook. I keep giant bags in my freezer for this reason. |
Corn the last few years has tasted like crap. |
One of my hobby horses is that people think they're buying fresh corn at the grocery store just because it comes on a cob.
It's June 1, the corn in Maryland is ankle high. It's not fresh. |
Frozen vegetables are often better quality than the fresh stuff - it's picked at the height of ripeness.
The question is really just how to keep a good texture when you defrost/cook it. My kids love eating frozen corn and peas as a snack. |
Same for farmers market saps who are being scammed by wholesalers selling foreign produce. |
OMG, mine too - I thought we were weirdos for allowing this |
