Corn, while it still means August

Late-August corn is a food review with almost no thesis. You cook it until it tastes like itself. Salt. Butter if you are not performing. Eat it before the calendar turns and the same vegetable becomes a freezer bag with a farm on the label. The season is the ingredient. That is the whole note.

Grocery marketing will try to complicate this into a salad with seven names. Fine, if the corn is actually sweet. If it is starchy, you waited. Go this week. Do not wait for a holiday weekend crowd to pick the good ones. Score: high, because the product is the month, and the month is almost over.

Salt, butter, eat it standing up. If it needs a recipe, it is already September in your head.
