We didn't find a way yet to discriminate between full and 'gappy' cobs, other than opening the leaves and silks very carefully and putting them back surrepticiously (so the plant won't notice) afterwards. The last one I pulled off was 100% perfect and sooooooooo creamy tasting. |
Totally agree.....didn't find this out until I tried last years harvest. Now
I wouldn't thank you for a cooked sweetcorn!
I tend to eat one every time I visit the allotment and chuck the gnawed cob over for next doors hens and ducks........cor, you should see them fight over it!
