And now for the fun part!
Since I allowed multiple answers to most questions, they don’t total 100%.  (So far 16 people have responded.  I’ll update when there are more responses)
Most people (50% each) either grill their corn in foil or boil it.  Next comes grilled in husk (37.5%) followed by nuked (31.3%), steamed (18.8%) and grilled naked (12.5%)
Next comes what do you put on your corn.  Butter is the big winner so far (62.5%) Most people also salt their corn (50%)  Margarine and pepper and the write in answer of nuthin tied at 25% and 3 of you like fresh herbs on your corn!
My favorite answer to how do you apply butter is fingers, but most of us use a knife (56.3%) and fork (18.8%)
13 of us (81.3%) use our hands to hole an ear of corn, 5 people (31.3%) use plastic corn holders and only one person eats it off one of those plastic corn plates!
A really good friend comments on how I eat sweet corn, so this next one really interested me.  9 people eat typewriter style (56.3%), 5 choose the spiral technique (31.3%) and 3 people take random bites (18.8%) (I like nice neat typewriter rows)
I’m dying to find some of the varieties people listed as favorites.  Salt and Pepper, Butter and Sugar, and Two Tone are listed a few times.  Hudson Valley sweet corn, Silver Queen, Senneca Cheif, Shoe Peg, Queen Ann andSloughhouse Corn in Sacramento.
I’m ashamed to say that most people don’t lick their fingers (68.8%), I’m a licker and proud of it! 5 people admitted to being lickers and one admitted to licking when nobody is looking!
Half of us usually don’t have any leftovers.  I don’t know if we only cook up what we plan on eating, or if it’s so good, we can’t stand to put it in the fridge.  5 people have it for lunch and one person uses it in salads.  What a great idea.  My hubby and I are the only ones who feed it to chickens (They LOVE IT)
