(6,496 posts)I live in Maine, but I used to have relatives in Minnesota. I thought Minnesota had probably the best tasting corn. It was always very cheap there too. It was always a treat to have corn out in Minnesota. I thought Maine corn was bland in comparison. Also, cheese from Wisconsin (right next door) was good too.
Three words: Olathe Sweet Corn. Kansas. (OK, four words.)

(41,763 posts)Bought 2 ears at the local farm stand - big fat organic ears.
so sweet it was almost too much.
Add salt and fat = sinful

yup
Last year, I ate it straight off the farm/market, raw, not cooked, salted or buttered!

Re-wrapped the husk and put them in the upper basket while the (local) pork chops and eggplant were grilling below.
They were dessert.

(12,522 posts)Picked fresh and boiled, already pre-sea salted from the ocean spray, with melted butter the kernels just POP in your mouth with with sweet Maine corn flavor.
A lot better than that mid-west cattle feed we get during the off season.
