Well I can eat almost 3 ears in a setting (nothing else). But maybe 1 or 2 times a week, while it's in season. My Mom, sister, her DH and I froze a bunch last summer. I forgot now exactly how many dozen. It sure is good about January and February.
My dad and his brother used to have a contest to see who could eat the most ears.

We eat at most maybe once a week when in season, but usually only once a month. That is why I stopped growing it. Takes up too much room in the freezer and we don't eat that much. To save room I use to strip it off the cob and freeze it that way. I grew Candy Corn and loved it, so sweet!

We don't grow this. A friend of DHs plants a HUGE plot and then lets his friends go pick what they want.

I can eat 2 or 3 at a time. I LOVE the small white kernels or white/yellow. I've never frozen corn on the cob...does it still taste like fresh?

I don't freeze it on the cob. I blanch it, and cut it off the cob, and freeze it that way. Takes up a lot less room, and no cob taste.
I love the smaller kernel too. The ones that just pop when you bite into it. I don't care for the more mature corn, that sticks to your teeth.
Leslie

I don't eat it on the cob. I cut mine off after it's cooked. But ooooohhhh yes...it tastes so fresh when it's been vacuum sealed!

I eat fresh corn on the cob about 3 times a year and canned or frozen corn about 3 times a year. My tummy just doesn't like it. As for growing it myself, it won't work here. Way too many racoons and I don't have enough land for both of us!

Don't eat that much corn on the cob or the frozen either.

When I was growing up, corn on the cob, maters & watermelon was our favorite summer meal--Mom would make 5 dozen ears of corn for the 7 of us! Does that tell ya how much I like COTC? LOL

I love it but the last time I had diverticulitis the doc said "no more corn." Bummer!

I'll buy anywhere from 48 to 100 ears of local corn (Long Island,NY) , blanch and freeze for use the next year. I generally make only two ears at a time, it's just DH and me. When I was younger, I would eat four ears of corn, with butter and salt, and call it a meal.

We grow lots of corn in S. Ga, but I have never heard it called Candy Corn (yellow and white mix). Speaking of corn what do you use to take it off the cob?

ron, we use a gadget we purchased during a local school fundraiser...you know how kids are always selling something! It is like this, and it works pretty darn good!

Here is a link that might be useful: Corn OFF the cob

If I were living with you, you wouldn't have much even to freeze! I truly love corn on the cob...slathered in real butter, salt and pepper. I can make a meal out of it. YUM!

Love corn on the cob, and creamed corn cooked in cast iron skillet, Alabama way.

I'm confused by your math. You have 160 ears... that would be 80 for each of you. With 365 days a year, that brings it to one ear for each of you every 4 days or so, not every other day? Am I adding it wrong? Just don't want you to think you have more than you do. If each of you ate an ear of corn every other day it would only last for 160 days. You may want to freeze some more if you want to eat it every other day.

LMBO! Thanks, Carla! As I admitted in the Magic gopher post, I stink at math!

My intestines will rest much easier knowing it isn't every other day!

If you eat quite a lot ...

... does it result in an even greater outpuut of corny stories?

I froze corn last year after blanching it (I though, 2 minutes?) but it all turned out mushey, is ok the Deer will eat it this winter. Did I cook it too long? I LOVE COTC especially on a cold Jan. evening.

I can eat 6 ears of sweet corn at one sitting, if it's available.

Hum... not meaning to spoil the fun of the question but we should ask ourselves rather...

How much corn can I NOT eat in a DAY?

Various type of corn, (ie: corn syrup, etc.) is in most food and beverages (mainly in soft drinks) we consume nowadays. This includes in meat as well. It's almost scary to think that corn may well be the result of obesity.

I love corn on the cob and this knowledge just makes me shun away from this local farmer market that carries yummy candy corns. So-so sad =o(

I could eat quite a bit, but then I always remind myself...They fatten HOGS with corn.

Sue

LOL! Sue - hogs don't eat sweet corn ;)

I usually freeze close to 300 ears every year, but I don't freeze it on the cob.

I blanch it - cool it quickly in an ice bath, then cut it off the cob. I freeze it in quart freezer bags. I don't add anything to it. It goes from our field to my freezer in a couple hours.

I take the insert out of my angel food cake pan and put it in a large plastic tub. Then I put the large end of the cob on the cone of the angel cake pan insert. I cut down then with a sharp knive. I use the side of the knife to scrape out the cob after I have cut off the kernals. I lay the bags out in thin layers in my deep freeze so they freeze quickly.

I make a lot of dishes that have corn - yum! Nothing beats home grown sweet corn.

Glenda - what is your secret to Alabama creamed corn? That sounds yummy.

I like a fairly heavy, stiff-backed knife.

I love corn.

We freeze ours on the cob. We had it picked, shucked, and in the freezer within an hour or two. I think the vacuum sealer keeps it fresher than just zip-locks, although I have no clinical research to back that up. LOL! :-)
