I love scalped corn!
I tried this...YUMMMMMMMMMMY. I like to get corn, in season, and then freeze it...blanch it, cut it off the cob and then combine with just a little bit of butter before freezing. A little taste of summer in the dead of winter! :laugh:
My family always grew sweet corn and froze it. My job was to scrape the ears on the corn cutter. Yum!
Olathe sweet corn grown in Olathe, Colorado, is supposed to be the best corn around.
The town of 1,600 has an annual Olathe Sweet Corn Festival in which there is a corn on the cob-eating contest similar to the Nathan's hot dog eating contest.
The two-day event on the western slope at 5,500 feet reportedly draws 18,000 people to the middle of nowhere and is called the best little festival in the U.S.
The corn on the cob-eating contest has to be the messiest contest around. The winner this year downed 33 lineal feet of corn, however, from the looks of things it appears that most of that winds up on the contestants faces and on the table in front of them.
Olathe sweet corn, supposedly handpicked, goes under contract to Kroger. The corn was supposed to have been bred specifically for climate in the area.
As I was typing this, I began wondering about there being an Olathe, Kansas, and an Olathe, Colorado.
According to the Olathe, Kansas, web site, Olathe is a Shawnee Indian word meaning "beautiful." The Olathe, Colorado, web site says the Colorado town was named after the Kansas town.
I will leave it up to your imagination to determine which might be more "beautiful."
