Corn is good, but I'm not a huge fan unlike most people.

Kind of bland and boring but I'll eat it if it's around. Corn On The Cob is good.

my familys vegetable of choice. corn on the cob is great with a bbq in the summer

Corn is definately one of my top favorite vegatables. When sweet corn on the cob is in season, I buy hordes of them. I put the oven on 350, stick one in with husk still on for 30 minutes and then peel it and eat it. It is so fresh and sweet, I don't even bother using butter.

Corn is sort of ordinary to me not my favorite but it's good enough. ALso I heard it is more of a grain rather than a vegetable?

Certainly a great vegetable that I can eat frequently as it is sweet on the cob. Here is a suggestion, roast it on barbaque and the taste is much better.

Another Native American food enjoyed by the world. Hot corn on the cob, smothered and dripping in butter, with salt and pepper, is so simple and so damned good. And all the things that can be made from it, Hominy, grits, corn bread, polenta, tortillas and so much more. It has become a staple for the world.

One of the few vegetables I can eat!!!

From corn-on-the-cob to cornbread, you really can't go wrong with corn.

Ahh, corn on the cob. I know it can be messy to eat and can stick in your teeth, but there's something to be said about eating a good ear of corn. Takes me back to days as a kid, when we would have family reunions on my great aunt and uncle's farm and huddle together for a picnic. Sounds corny, but eating buttery ears together was good times. In my case, corn doesn't have quite the same nostalgic enjoyment for me unless I know it's recently been picked and shucked. If you have the good fortune of passing by a farmer's market or a roadside vendor selling fresh vegetables, choose them over the huge grocery store chains. It's time well spent.

I like corn on the cob the best...cream corn is good too, but thats about it

Corn is definately one of my favorite vegetables. I love corn on the cob when having a cookout. For me, a steak dinner is not complete without corn. And indeed, cornbread is so awesome! God bless corn, and may we never run out of this wonderful vegetable.

My favorite vegetable! My grandpa grows corn every year and i love it! And their is soooo many diff things you can do with it, or you can eat it right by itself. (my prefered method.)

I know I'm in the minority here, but I cannot stand the smell or taste of corn. It must be something I was born with, because the rest of my entire family loves it. Maybe it's a genetic mutation thing. Whatever the reason, I don't care for it.

Castlebee - I love your "Forrest Gump" reference, and I also agree with you that most children do seem to take to this vegetable on their own. I adore fresh, hot cornbread with chili on cold evenings. Corn on the cob is great for a camping dinner, then the next morning take a knife and cut off the kernels from leftover cobs and add them to fried potatoes - and almost any leftovers you have- even beans or scrambled eggs. - A little salt and pepper- and voila! - a hearty, hot brunch or lunch. And of course, another variety of corn- Popcorn- is the best thing to munch during movies or tv.

Ahhh, another one of those wonderful starchy vegetables with an excellent taste and myriad uses. For instance; corn bread, corn cakes, corn chowder, (is this beginning to sound like a scene from "Forest Gump" or what?) tortillas, corn chips, corn pudding, corn casserole, hominy, grits and the ever-popular corn on the cob slathered in butter and salt. I would be willing to wager that corn is one of those vegetables most people never have to develop a taste for and parents do not have to coax their children to eat. With all the wonderful fresh corn available where I live, this is a well-loved staple.

Corn is another one of those vegetables that can be used in a huge variety of recipes. My personal favorite is corn bread. There is nothing like the smell and taste of fresh-baked corn bread.
