Corn on the cob is popular in different regions of the country, such as pole corn, cornstick, sweet pole, butter-pop, sweet corn, or long maize. Picking the corn while the kernels are still tender and in its milk stage yields sweeter kernels.

The most common ways to prepare corn on the cob are boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. When grilling or roasting sweet corn, the husks can be left on to retain moisture and flavor during the cooking process.

While eating corn may seem rude, proper dinner etiquette for eating corn is still appropriate, proper dinner etiquette for eating corn recommends holding the cob at each end with your fingers is appropriate. Serving corn on the cob with other seasonings, butter, or oils will give even more flavor. On June 10th, we celebrated National Herbs and Spices Day. Anything you learned while enjoying your corn on the cob can also be used. Consider roasting your sweet corn with a little cilantro and chili pepper..
