I could just get a tin of green giant sweetcorn and be done with it but I love it on the cob. Mr. Cupid isn't so keen, because it gets stuck between his teeth,lol!. I tell him he can always brush his teeth afterwards.
ten minutes in boiling water is far too long. Two minutes - ample. You only want to get the stuff hot - any more cooking will make it tough. No wonder it gets stuck in your teeth if you cook it for so long.
I was taught that by a woman who grew the stuff.
