Anyways, I'm not a fan of what I call "elote gringo". Too sweet,it seems as you guys love everything to taste sweet as gently caress.

I've never had a negative experience with cobs! This one time I had some cobs grilled in the husk -- it was heaven. I love cobs!

I'm not sure how it got to that point without them being removed beforehand, but hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Shame that they apparently could have been used for something.

Sometimes my cobs are too hot to eat but all I want to do is eat the corn on the cob so I eat it anyway and my mouth gets really hot and I have to do that reverse blow thing to cool down my mouth. As a result, my cob intake is slower than I'd prefer and I get frustrated.

Thank you for the warning, kind goon, those both look and sound absolutely delicious but a trip to the hospital makes me think it may not to be worth the risk. Notice I say 'may' because there is no way I could resist those. I've never had food poisoning from a street vendor from anywhere in the world so I'd still take my chances. I may have a cob problem. Here are my other problems with cobs: - In the UK it's really quite challenging to find cobs that are good. Sometimes they are too hard and all the bits get stuck in your teeth. This can be expected from cob chewing but if the cobs are bland and dry then it's not worth it. - Went to a BBQ at my uncle's place in North Bay, Canada. The cobs were actually very good, but it was crane fly season and I'm petrified of them. My cob experience was sullied by their wiggly, wafty presence. - Got some lovely big, juicy, sweet, organic, crunchy kernels in a jar from Somerfield here in the glorious UK once. They were the god of maize. Unfortunately Somerfield stopped stocking them and they turned out to be the cobs that got away. Sometimes I still dream about them. They were so good.

You can make your own Mexican corn on the cob. We do this every time we have a bonfire. Dry cheese and mayo from the market, parmesan works too. Grill or cook your corn in a pot of water, then spread the mayo and apply the cheese when you think the corn is ready. Apply chili as needed and voila. Mexican corn without the potential hospital trip.

Last summer I bought a mass of caramel corn smashed together in the shape of a corn cob. The packaging promised that it would be fun to "smack and snack," that is , to slap one end of the cob in order to push it out the other end of the packaging. This proved more difficult than anticipated, and to make matters worse, the actual caramel corn didn't taste quite right and wasn't really worth the obscene amount of calories it packed.

One time we were eating grilled corn with dinner, and I dropped my cob on the floor. The dog grabbed it and tried to bite me when I tried to retrieve it. Since then I refuse to eat corn on the cob, and I always cut it off the cob first and eat it with a fork.

Since then I refuse to eat corn on the cob, and I always cut it off the cob first and eat it with a fork. You should have stabbed that dog with your fork or cob spiker. I've always wanted to meet someone from U of Nebraska and say " Ah yes, I have heard of your famous football team, the Nebraska Cornholers". However, almost all of my cob experiences have been good, provided the corn in question is sufficiently young and tender. All they need then is a light dressing of salt. Mmm mmm, good

I don't have any negative experiences with cobs per se, but you might if you don't hear the truth, the corn on the outside is poisonous if you consume too much. Fortunately the cob itself contains the antidote.

When I had braces I ate some corn on the cob and a piece got stuck in my teeth. Fortunately I was near a cloakroom, floss included, and I swiftly solved my problem. Since then I have had my braces removed and I have positively delightful experiences with corn and I haven't a clue why anyone else here has poor opinions on the stuff. I once had the misfortune as to have food stolen from my picnic by a cob. Luckily it was a sandwich with butter and I do not enjoy sandwiches with butter.

I had a bad Korb experience once: Some might call me a madman, while others would question the morals and ethics of some of my work. It's all just business, though. "By causing a little destruction, I am in fact encouraging life," as I say. Anyhow, I had this sweet gig lined up. Some shadowy fella who doesn't give his name; he just goes by a pseudonym. All he wants is a case with four stones in it, and he's paying well. Seemed like such a simple job, I could just hire some folks to get them for me. But as the saying goes, "If you want something done, do it yourself. Yep!" Next thing I know, my ride's being stolen by a taxi driver while I'm engulfed in a fiery explosion. I didn't even get the goddamn stones. What am I supposed to do with an empty case?

All this talk of cobs is making me want some of that sweet corn action. I guess that makes this a negative experience, due to lack of cob. Also Listening to Korn while eating a cob is also a negative experience.

Hello, friends. I know there's a lot of negative feeling towards cobs in this thread, but I would just like to say that some negative experiences with cobs can be avoided with proper cob etiquette. Teddy the Porcupine is here to show you improper cob etiquette. Do NOT refuse to share your cob after kindly being given one by your friend. This is improper cob etiquette. Observe Teddy's tone. This is not correct. When someone shares a cob with you and then wants it back, you should say in a pleasant tone, "Thank you good friend, please enjoy some of this delicious cob as well." Some of you may observe that this woman was showing improper cob etiquette as well by giving Teddy a cob with no cob holders. THIS IS NOT CORRECT. COB HOLDERS ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE BANNED. As pointed out by another forums poster earlier, cob holders can lead to you being injured by their pointy ends. NOT EVEN A PORCUPINE WHO IS MADE OF SHARP POINTY THINGS WILL HANDLE ONE. That says it all. In this regard, Teddy and his human friend are showing PROPER COB ETIQUETTE. So in summary: - Share your cobs - DO NOT USE COB HOLDERS I believe these two points in conjunction will, if heeded, cut down significantly on negative cob experiences. Stay educated. Stay safe.
