    Sorry maybe not awful per se, but tastes neutral, whole kernels get bits between the teeth and you have to floss after. Experience is less than mid but people claim it’s like an orgasm in your mouth. Same thoughts about steak, or Batman movies.

        Yeah… Not liking steak really was a frustrating experience growing up there. Similar experience I’m sure with other food stuff: “you just haven’t had it prepared right” said 50th+ person who wants to cook me a medium rare steak with salt and pepper, oiled, over a charcoal barbeque only to be middling flavor, terribly chewy and get stuck between teeth.

      Pro tip! Mom had bad teeth so she’d stand the cob on end and cut the kernels off. Takes a few tries to figure the cut depth just right. Best of both worlds, fresh corn and no stuck bits!

        But i could eat flavorful beans or lentils or berries. This corn, even off the cob, has wasted space on my plate. It is better made into proper corn foods like corn bread or tortillas.
