Do you roll your corn on the cob directly onto the stick of butter?

Thanks for chiming in.

If a close family member (MIL or FIL) did this in your home, would you reprimand them for it, or just decide that the loss of a $1 stick of butter a few times a year is something you are OK with (or maybe you'd just never serve corn again LOL)?

I'm one that wouldn't do it myself (even at home).

If a guest, whether family or friend, did this in my house, I would not say a word and would just get out another stick of butter for those who did not want to use the corn-smushed butter. But I would save the stick and use it in cooking where it generally doesn't matter what shape the butter is in before use.

Reprimanding a guest in your house for violating "house rules" is the amazingly rude. I would never dream of doing that unless it was something that affected others that I could not otherwise fix. If I can solve the problem (like with a new stick of butter for others to use), then there's no harm. My hospitality means that I want my guests to be comfortable in my home and so I do whatever I can to make them comfortable.

No I am not an animal.

At someone else's house - hopefully no one in my family would do that (unless the people in the house were butter stick corn rollers).

I don't personally like butter on corn (or anything else except maybe mashed potatoes) but my husband and kids sometimes roll the corn directly on the butter. If DH wants to use a weirdly shaped half melted stick of butter for his various buttering needs, what do I care? He doesn't consider it to be garbage after an ear of corn has touched it.

I don’t judge my guests.

Even if that guest buttered a piece of bread and then buttered their corn with it, like the pp above??

What if you didn’t have a second stick of butter on hand?

Rolling an ear of corn on a stick of butter is not as disgusting as watching someone sit by you with an ice cream cone, and they are licking the ice cream over and over. Watching their tongue swirling all around the ice cream!! But no one thinks that’s disgusting? It is!!

Roll the ear of corn, pass it on for the next person. Use the stick of butter up. Don’t use it for other things!

One person commented it was gross having kernels of corn and silk laying on top of the butter. Why are you eating corn that has been cooked and still has silk on it or why are the kernels falling out?

Kind of, but not the whole stick of butter, I cut off about a tablespoon and stick it on a fork and we use that.

So? It’s not like it’s a time-sensitive issue.

Yes everyone has their own stick of butter, and they roll the ear directly as they please. This is strictly at home

This is the way.

I’d want MIL/FIL o feel comfortable in my house. It wouldn’t bother me (we don’t do this). I’d give them a stick of butter and invite them to have at it. We can afford butter.
