Never give up the French accent. It is delightful.

Her gingerly approach to eating corn is amusing.

Yeah, you can’t be dainty about corn on the cob; it’s a hand food, and you just have to dive right in.

Corn on the Cob. Yum

I never thought I would see a European eat Corn on the Cob, Now I Can die happy; there is nothing left to see in this lifetime. Congratulations!

[@lonegrimo6098]

I thought everyone ate corn on the cob occasionally

[@Realgrande]

​@@lonegrimo6098 When I was stationed in the US Army in West Germany, me and a buddy took a walk from our tank position on the Fulda Gap border from the forest to a cornfield. We were surprised at the Corn growing on the stalk and collected two each from 4 stalks. We had the misconception that although it looked exactly like our American Sweet corn. We boiled it in pot and it bled like blood although the kernels were yellow. We tried to eat it and it tasted like styrofoam. A German Bundeswehr NATO fellow thought we were crazy and told us that in Europe Corn is only eaten by farm animals and not for human consumption. Europeans do not eat corn in any form, to them it would be like an American eating dog or cat food.

@@Realgrande Yup, the first europeans in particular the English seen Maize or corn as something the native americans ate and was below their stature, and hence deemed it as horrible. Miaze was one of the first genetically altered food developed by native americans, same as the potato. Now maize products are a staple in American diet. Back in the 80's I had a friend that was glutten intolerent. He could get corn tortillas readly availble in Alabama and would as me to send him some. Nice thing about them they would las lnger than ordinary bread.

[@prollins6443]

Marie, next time you have corn on the cob, keep the shucks on, soak the cobs in water for 1-2 hours, and then grill the cobs with the shucks pulled back over the cob. You can also put butter in the shucks before they hit the grill. The moisture will steam the cobs during the grill time and the shucks will keep the corn from burning.

[@aquilapetram]

My cooking technique is similar, and doesn’t require firing up a grill: Pull off the outer leaves of the husk, peel the remaining leaves down and clean off as much of the cornsilk as possible, then fold the leaves back over the kernels. Roast the ear in a 400 degree Fahrenheit/204 Celsius oven until the kernels just soften. Strip off the leaves and any remaining silk, and eat - no salt, no butter, nothing to interfere with the taste of the corn itself. Exquisite. I eat about 10 ears a week during the season, mostly prepared this way. I live about 30 miles from an area that grows a lot of sweet corn, so we have same-day fresh corn all throughout the season. Fresh corn is one thing I will eat as much of as I can get, when it’s in season (apricots and snap peas are others). Ideally, you eat the corn as soon as possible after it’s picked, or the sugars start to break down. The old-fashioned recommendation is to take your cooking method out into the cornfield and cook it immediately after you pick it.

[@aaronburdon221]

Corn on the cob is best when it's slow roasted over a fire every now and then rubbing butter on it and a light drizzle of salt. Let it go until most of the kernels are a light brown.

[@KevinMooney66]

I've lived in Connecticut my entire life. It was fun to watch someone from another country enjoying and getting excited about things in my state!

[@robertfrye5161]

I remember in the 1970's when I was working in Germany and the 4th of July, Independence day was on a weekend. We were living in a small village in a guest house and got the owner to let us throw a party and invite some locals we knew from the next town. We had a full cook out, barbequed chicken, burgers, hot dogs and corn on the cob. One on the German college students decided to try the corn. After she took a few bites, he sister tried it and within a few minutes all the German college students had a cob. The corn that was local was farm food, this corn was bought at the military base and grown elsewhere. That summer, every time we went to the base we had to bring back 10 to 20 ears for my friends. By the way your accent is getting better. I haven't watched a video of yours in a while and using English every day shows.

[@simonforester424]

Corn on the cob is a very popular side-dish during the summer months here in North America. In Quebec where I'm from, we call it "Blé D'inde". Very tasty with butter and a sprinkle of salt. Enjoy the rest of your week! 🌽🌞🍻✈️🌎🇺🇸

Mexican version of Corn on the cob is best... Elote's (E LOW TE') is colorful and spicy in many variations.. painted with sour cream plus hot sauce is my favorite sometimes butter, quacamole covered with chili powder is good too...... lots of ingredients can be tried.... a great treat.....

I had a penpal from France back in the 80’s… into the 90’s 2000’s and on. She came to visit in 90 and I remember corn on the cob was the one big shock for her. She tried to cut it like a sausage so I quickly showed her her options on eating it. Her favorite was pancakes and tacos…. Though not together. She married her boyfriend I got to meet in 91 and they’re very happily married today. Great people.

Here in the US State of New Mexico, Corn is in everything we eat (Enchiladas, Corn Tortillas, Tamales, Posole, Chiqueque, Menudo, Gorditos, Tacos, Chips and Salsa, Quesadillas; all with either Red or Green Chile at various heat levels). The Spanish, Indians, Mexicans have many variations of these and other dishes.

Italians eat polenta made from corn. Greeks eat corn on the cob which is cooked on a grill. It tastes fantastic!

[@Realgrande]

@@JC19676 The Corn (Maize) Mais=Najuatl/Aztec was brought to Europe After the Spanish Empire introduced it along with the Potato (Inca/Peru). Corn was introduced to the Philipines by Spain then spread to China, Korea and Japan. Corn (Mais) Evolved from a grass in Tenotchtilan (Volcanic Caldera AKA modern Mexico City). It is now a staple in some European Countries but is used in the USA for thousands of products. (Candies, Syrup, Masa Tortillas, grits, and even Ethanol Gasoline).

The crown jewel of the museum itself would either be their F-14 Tomcat or the real Apollo 18 lander that was never used (the Apollo missions were cancelled and stopped at 17)

[@phillipdaltun3779]

Aces High Marie 😁 ✈️ ✨ The Aviation museum in Windsor Locks was Amazing. I'm impressed by everything on display & how your taken throughout history in each exhibition from the earliest days of a simple balloon basket & one of the first Pusher - Aircraft to be widely built the Curtiss model d to the Passenger Airlines like the DC - 3 of the 30s , the wartime era , up to the modern 20th century fighter jets like the Phantom & F 15 eagle. They did a Great job Restoring the Excambian flying Boat ( it only took 40 passengers ) to it's original splendour. Most of the volunteers previously worked for Sikorsky & came out of retirement , it was a massive undertaking everyone can read more about in the archives online. Those early Amphibian Helicopters proved how pioneering they were leading to the Coast guard choppers were familiar with today. It was mentioned that they also have a giant crane helicopter , It brings to mind the scene from 'You Only Live Twice' when James Bond was in a car chase & the bad guys were lifted & dropped into the sea by one. I noticed the Iroquois chopper , one of the first Huey's that later played a big part in the Vietnam war , who can forget the sound of those rotors. It was fascinating seeing ' the nuts & bolts & how all the mechanical parts come together. It must have been hard work & demanding to be under pressure 24/7 during WW2. The Battle of Britain exhibit , has always interested me growing up hearing about fighter Ace's like Douglas Bader & how various squadrons like the Kosciuszko showed there were made up of different nationality's. There was a 71 eagle sq with 7 brave Americans. It was the first major defeat for Germany in the war & paved the way so D-Day could happen. " Never in the Field of Human Conflict was so much Owed by so many to so Few " I Take Pride in Rolls Royce & their part in winning the war making Merlin engines having grown up in a village not far from there. What makes it all the much better is that they were used in Mustang P - 51 the best fighter plane of the war & my favorite. It's a nice tribute having a model alongside Tuskegee Hero Roscoe C Brown Jr , who was in a duel with a German 262 one of the first Jet fighters ( I made one as a kid) . He lead a remarkable life in service & there was a restored red tail mustang at another museum in New Orleans. The exhibit about the 416th ' Douglas Havocs ' Combat missions on D-Day means much more knowing how close the Target in Poix - du - nord was to your Home. They flew 14 missions in total , later switching to the Invader A - 26 Aircraft , part of the counter offensive support that ended the battle of the bulge in 45. 39 missions were flown with the 416th in Europe , on the morning of March 18 , 1945 , 40 other invaders out of Laon in northern France attacked the city of worms on the banks of the River Rhine that became known as Black Sunday. You can read about it along with everything else I've mentioned at vintage aviation news / warbirds online. The ' Reida Rae ' Superfortress as the center piece was nicely polished sporting her early style canopy. It came to late to be used in the war. I'm pleased it was saved from target practice with 30 of them left. I also found the exhibit about the gliders going behind enemy lines interesting. It's marvelous that there's also a exhibit about the contribution Woman have made , Risking there lives & setting records like Amelia Earhart proved. It must have been a thrill trying out all the controls in the captain seat & in the back of a transporter , you needed somebody there to explain more about it. The Space Suits worn by James Irwin was so Cool , seeing how the different components work. They have a size ready for you when we go back to the moon & beyond , your still young enough so it could happen in the next 10 years or sooner. Connecticut doesn't get enough credit for everything they've accomplished for the Apollo space program up to the present day. It was more than worth the admission , I have to mention that Cobra helicopter packing some serious firepower & in contract the little Gee Bee Super Sportster , if a plane was cute than that's it. There adding some new exhibits like the Challenger ( space shuttle ? ) & a Planetarium 🌌 so you might like to go back next time your around there. Your lunch looked scrumptious , who says there has to be ice with every drink. What a cute puppy , be careful when it's comes to feeding them chocolate. The University was revealing , when are you gonna shoot some 🏀 It warms my heart when your out on the farm , I love 🐎 they took to you & wanted a carrot. I used to come across riders a lot near the farms where I live back in the day , but it's not the same anymore. I was wondering if the ice cream came from those cows but they look undernourished & have seen better days so it's probably elsewhere. I didn't expect the factory to be that big with so much equipment just to make ice cream. Yours looked so yummy 😛 🍦 I can't believe you've never tried corn on the cob , maybe like me it's more convenient out of a can , if it's not tender enough it's hard on your teeth eating it that way. I did across some in my greenhouse recently that needed boiling & yes corn on pizza is a thing over in the UK. Hey , It's a new feature cooking 🍳 with french Fry , our favorite chef . I like chicken marsala because all anybody needs is a few ingredients at hand like creamy mushrooms , butter & some seasoning , a little wine to turn it into a show stopping meal. Your getting top marks , it looked like it was Delicious. A month a new record , I hope you make it a whole season before moving there.

Corn on the cob, whether boiled or grilled, is a delight in the summer. The corn needs to be as ripe, sweet, not overgrown, and fresh as possible (otherwise it can be too tough and off-tasting) and don't skimp on the butter and just the right amount of salt. Also, it's helpful to have little corn holders that push into each end of the cob and make it easier to eat and less messy. It's a real American tradition.

My French friends liked cooked corn on their salads. It's also good when cooked on the grill.

Glad you made it to Connecticut. So much there that no one ever knows about. If you come back be sure to go to Frank Pepe's Apizza in New Haven or one of the satellite locations around the state. CT is home to Sikorsky Helicopter, Pratt & Whitney jet engines, Kaman aerospace, and General Dynamics so it's sometimes called the Nation's Arsenal so the Air Museum is in the right spot. You'd probably enjoy Valley Steam Railroad in Essex and the car ferry over the Gillette's Castle in East Haddam. Beautiful part of the state. Gilmore Girls is based on Washington CT up in the Litchfield Hills (though it's a lot smaller).

Next time try the corn on the cob with some smoked paprika on it. Some like it with grated cheese too, but you can't go wrong with smoked paprika.
