I decided to get an ear from each one and went home with 6 ears of corn--some white, some yellow, and some mixed. I marked the fat end of each cob and dropped them into the pan. About 10 minutes later, I put them on a platter to cool off a little. Then came the taste test. One had not been fresh pulled, so it had an "off" taste--too starchy. One was very sweet and did not have that familiar "corny" flavor--not to my liking. One had kernels that were too small so I couldn't get enough in my mouth to really taste the corn. One had kernels that were too big and left the tough outside of the kernels still in my mouth, even after much chewing--not good. One was not filled out from end to end--unacceptable. And then there was the perfect ear of white corn--just pulled, completely filled out end to end, mid-sized kernels, and a sweet but "corny" flavor! YUMMY! And to think I bought it less than a block from my house!!!! Stevie's corn was the best!!! and still is!!!

Which Corn is Best??
What a dilemma!!! So many farm markets from which to choose my corn-on-the-cob!
