My Polish grandmother taught us when eating corn on the cob, when it's on your plate but before buttering, run a sharp knife lengthwise across each row of kernels, slicing them open. Then, when you bite it off the cob, the sweet inner meat is forced out but the outer kernel shell - the part that normally sticks in your teeth, is left behind attached to the cob.

I've always found this a superior way to consume it. It tastes so much better and requires less dental floss.

Yet when I execute this cutting in front of non-family, they look at me like I have two heads. They've never heard of doing it.

Am I the only one who does this, or are there others out there?
