Hoggirl Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Sorry, I am not smart enough to do a true poll. Also, does your significant other eat it the same way you do or the opposite way? I eat mine in rows and dh eats his around. Could this be the ultimate test for "opposites attract?" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remudamom Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've been made fun of because of this, I start out around and finish off in rows. Or vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karenciavo Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 One row at a time. Sometimes two. I think I'm a little OCD about it actually. ETA: DH cuts his off the cob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabola Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I eat it in rows, but I couldn't eat it one row at a time, too skinny. My dh doesn't eat corn on the cob at all. He's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Dad Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 We both eat in rows. Hope that doesn't wreck your theory! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kids4me Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Like Remudamama, I start around on the ends, then go in rows. FYI, I also eat all the crust off my sandwich, then the middle. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sad to say, now that I have kids who don't eat the crust.....I kinda stopped eating the crust too. :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticklbee Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 What a funny question...it made me laugh. I seem to be in the minority here, but I eat it around. I'm pretty sure dh eats it the same way, but I never paid too much attention. Now I'm curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I cut mine off with a knife and eat it in a bowl. :) It started when I had braces, and I realized I really liked it that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I eat mine in rows. What do you mean, around. You can't do that! That's just wrong:lol: Dh eats his in rows too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genie Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I cut mine off with a knife and eat it in a bowl. :) It started when I had braces, and I realized I really liked it that way... Exactly! I cut mine off and eat it with a spoon. DH eats his in rows. But he always has to use a toothpick afterwards. That's why MY method is clearly superior. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*anj* Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Rows. Just like a typewriter. I don't know how dh eats his, probably rows. I hope so, because my feelings for him might change otherwise! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kailuamom Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I am stricty a row person. Hubby is a 'round the cob kind of guy. I still love him, though. ;) (So far the kids have taken after me. :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Well here's the thing then, you guys aren't eating corn on the cob, you're just eating corn. :D But it's totally different than regular corn. There's something about it being cooked on the cob and then cut off that makes it soooo good. :) Maybe we should call it corn-not-any-longer-on-the-cob.

shalom22 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I like to eat mine going around in short rows. How's that? I think I need some corn right row...:drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K&Rs Mom Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 We both eat in rows, but dc both eat randomly. :eek: They just take chunks out here & there and eventually it's an empty cob. :confused: I pointed this out once when my in-laws were over, and it turns out dh did the same as a child. I have no idea what this means for your theory (or for my future sons-in-law), but there it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl in NM Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'm too busy trying to get it ALL of the cob to notice how. I think I pretty much just inhale it! Seriously, I kind of do both. I start across, but then end up going around because I end up with less butter/salt on my face that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'd say I'm a random nibbler. And I have no idea how my husband eats his. I never really watch him and pay attention.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Yeah, but do you eat around a Hershey's Peanut Butter Cup and then eat the middle? No, silly, you eat the peanut butter on the bottom, then the chocolate top. On OP, dh is a random eater. He was stunned the first time he went to a family reunion for my family -- seeing 30 plus people carefully, methodically and meticulously eating corn row by row as though we were all totally concentrating on not leaving a single kernel. Oddly enough, he didn't grow up that way. Heathen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
