#SweetCorn
This is in Betteshanger? Bettesganger? How did that happen?

Things have changed mightily since I lived in the area (he mutters darkly)…

I need @captainbionic.eurosky.social @thomeagle.bsky.social @goodfood.kitchen on the case to advise on how well they’re doing on the food. updownfarmhouse.com

Do people even like sweetcorn? Are they the same people who had churro vans a couple of years ago?

Yeah, there are sweetcorn vendors all evenly spaced along the main shopping thoroughfare in the city. I saw 7 on Saturday and an 8th on the way. Everyone is suspicious because that's objectively too much corn. It would be too much anything.

Corn as in sweetcorn?

These are ... an acquired taste, I think. Won't be rushing out to get another bag.

Was never really a Skips fan (and don't remember thier sweetcorn phase), but they do salt and vinegar flavour now, and they're rather lush 😋

For a very short time in the 80s, KP released sweetcorn-flavoured Skips and they were *very* weird.

Today’s corn update:

50 tons of corn!
1,785 bushels worth!
That’s how much sweet corn is eaten every year at the Hoopeston Natl Sweetcorn Festival.

& those bushel baskets ~ when art became artisan & basket weaving was a proud occupation & loading a basket with ears was life in the slow lane…

Going into the UK on Wednesday in five days. Aiming to fit in four meal deals in that time. Especially excited about the Sainsbury's Tuna & Sweetcorn with Salt and Vinegar Squares and the Tesco Chicken, Bacon and Lettuce with Pickled Onion Monster Munch, both with Pepsi Cherry Max of course.

Fresh sweetcorn with black garlic butter. Tomato salad with chervil (because I want the herb stall to keep selling chervil). Decent bread. Cherry beer I brought back from Belgium and had no other plans for. A good dinner.

As your garden winds down in autumn, evaluate what worked and what didn't and add it to your notes in Vegplotter! Need extra sunshade? Tall crops like sweetcorn & Jerusalem artichokes offer great natural shelter. Rethink your space & redesign your layout for next year! 🌻 #GardenPlanning #Gardening

Sprouts! 😋 You can keep the sweetcorn tho.

And no you CAN'T grow just anything on cropland. There are a wide variety of factors to consider, but the main one is that animals eat stuff that we can grow quickly and cheaply on almost any land. Feed corn is way WAY easier to produce at scale than sweetcorn. You don't have to process either.

Four feral chicks were lured into a separate pen with sweetcorn and lettuce, then caged to assess health before joining resident chickens.

This afternoon was spent making a batch of sweetcorn chowder - stocking the freezer with more autumnal soups.

And don't forget to smile between melted butter mouthfuls to show the bits of buttery sweetcorn stuck between your teeth.

Boss level power move.
iced coffee is junior level. the real power move is bringing a corn on the cob to your interview
