We, like most of you, will be having sweet corn today on the 4th of July. This is how my Dad would talk about sweet corn and the seriousness of eating FRESH sweet corn.
You start a pot of boiling water on the stove. When it is a rolling boil, you walk to the stand of sweet corn and pull one ear off a stalk. Run as fast as you can to the house, shucking the corn as you run. The idea is to cook and eat the corn as soon as possible. IF YOU FALL DOWN while running to the house, throw that ear away and go back to the field for a fresh ear of corn because by falling you took too long and the first ear of sweet corn isn't considered fresh anymore.
Happy 4th!
