Creamed Corn... Do you like it?

[Maine Mary]

Let me first preface this by saying I don't. At least NOT the kind IN THE CAN. :puke:

BUT...my grandmother always used to provide a delicious version made with melted cream cheese, a little milk, butter, and onion salt. It's got a TON of calories in it which is probably why I like it so much.

I've carried on that Thanksgiving tradition w/mixed results. The members of my family who like it, LOVE it; While those who don't HATE the stuff. There seems to be no in-between. So I always provide a plateful of regular, buttered corn and the caloric monstor for the rest of us.

Has anyone else ever heard of this type of creamed corn and if so, what do you think of it?

[GOPisEvil]

1. I prefer regular kernel corn or corn on the cob.

I don't HATE creamed corn, but I never buy it for myself. I only eat it when mom cooks it.

That caloric monster sounds good, but you might want to have a cardiologist on speed dial. :D

2. Not the canned stuff. I prefer corn chowder instead. . .

the kind I make myself, along with potatoes.

:9

5. I love corn chowder...

now that you've mentioned it,I think I might just make a pot for tonight:)

3. I have heard of it.

I like it.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

4. I only eat the creamed corn that my grandmother makes .

I have no clue what that is in the cans . Never again will I eat canned creamed corn .

6. i like the canned stuff

with fried, breaded pork chops.

never had the homemade variety, but sounds a-ok to me!

7. Yours sounds good!

My sister made this dish last year called "The Spirit of Nick Corn Pudding." (So named because the recipe came from her ex-boyfriend. They're long broken up, but his spirit lives on...)

It was somewhere between corn bread and creamed corn. Hard to describe. Really good, though.

8. Corn on the cob!

I am a (nearly) lifelong resident of Iowa, "the tall corn state", and I hate creamed corn. But fresh corn on the cob, now thats a whole different story. A freshly picked ear of corn, a grill, mmmmm! Too bad its so damn cold now.

[THUNDER HANDS]

9. yuck

Not for me, thanks. But then again, I don't like corn, or mostly any vegetables. :)

[Maddy McCall]

10. I add it to hushpuppy mixes...

to moisten and give texture to hushpuppies. It's good! :-)

11. I've never found a form of corn

that I didn't like. I even drink the liquid in cans of niblets (ummm...corn juice!). My partner just rolls his eyes and looks away.

[DemExpat]

18. lol....corn juice.....

that made me laugh....:D

12. God no

Reminds me of the toilet bowl after a bad night in TJ

[trotsky]

13. YUCK

I can't stand it from the can. I've never had a homemade version. Of course no way of eating corn compares to fresh on-the-cob.

But I do love my grandma's homemade creamed onions. Just slather over ham, and mmmmmmmmm.

14. Can't stand the canned stuff!

Your grandfather's recipe sounds good, howvere. :)

[Hubert Flottz]

15. Bring it on!

Try a teaspoon of bacon drippings in the canned cream corn and a dash of black pepper! It's like turning a sow's ear into a silk purse!

16. Only in the Socket of Davis

17. Love Creamed corn

Even from the can - but a no no on Atkins. When I get 5 pounds under my goal it is on my pig out list. Only 2 away from goal - so won't be long now.....

[OldSoldier]

19. Creamed corn is an abomination and I shall not eat it

In any form.

An aside: I remember an episode of MASH where Father Mulcahy grew a small crop of corn so the troops could have one meal with corn on the cob, and the cook creamed it.

[bloom]

20. My mother-in-law used to make a casserole

with a couple cans of creamed corn

a can of regular corn

and a package of jiffy corn mix.

Maybe it had butter and/or something else.


It was pretty good for Thanksgiving like occasions. And I don't usually eat that sort of stuff either.

[Zomby Woof]

21. yes!

In just about every form, I love corn! :D

[LastTime2BeFree]

22. Yes! With habanaro pepper powder on top!

And Moosehead beer for a chaser.

[Catfish]

23. I hate it

but I have a recipe for jalapeno corn bread that calls for canned creamed corn and it turns out great.

[TXlib]

24. Corn jizz ... hate it

[corarose]

25. Do you have the recipe?

I would love some real fattening stuff on Thanksgiving.

[Skittles]

26. It looks like corn that has already been eaten

absolutely disgusting.

[geniph]

27. I dearly love corn

but creamed corn - what IS that stuff? It looks predigested. It tastes like candy. Why would you need to add a slimy, sweet sauce to corn, which is inherently sweet to begin with?
