Sweet corn time!

[thirdeye]

Following on the 2020 sweet corn thread.... we got ours today. 158 dozen in the group buy and it was about 6 hours old when we divided it up. It was packed in produce boxes and still cold! The farmer threw in a box of cucumbers and about 40 heads of garlic. I'll be grilling some tonight to have with a sous vide tri tip and some sort of orzo dish. And tomorrow packaging some for the freezer.

Great thread. We always do sweet corn.

Funny you said to far along. Wonder how many people know what that is?

Thanks Adam! I guess we are all different in how we like it. I like it best early with small poppy kernels, wife likes it better a little farther along. Either way it's good stuff

Poppy kernels are the best just at the right time for the flavor thou.

That they are! Just gotta be careful...they are squirty little things. Should have seen my wife laugh at me earlier this year...bit into one and squirted myself in the eye and glasses

About 40. My buddy had his pickup bed double stacked with boxes holding 4 dozen each. And a utility trailer with the rest of the boxes. This is the first planting, normally we get corn from the second planting because both of us are in that town anyway for a BBQ contest and Bluegrass festival....
