"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Directions:
If possible, pick and shuck corn minutes before it's time to eat, being careful to remove ALL the silk If you don't have a field of corn to ransack, just do your best with the local grocery store or farmers' market. Plunge the shucked corn into a kettle of boiling salted water. When boil resumes, cook for 5 minutes, and then drain the corn immediately. (Some people prefer cooking for 10 minutes.)
To serve, slather each cob with as much butter, salt and pepper as you want. Eat quickly. And then have another. And another....
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Polly fixed corn for Pop all the time when it was in season. Lore has it that when he was a young man, skinny as a stick but also extraordinarily strong and active, he could eat a dozen ears of corn and two whole roasted chickens at a single sitting. The only thing he loved more was Crayfish. If you make this recipe, please - in his honor -do not hold back on the butter, salt or pepper. He was eating corn as often as he could right up to the final weeks before he died. Often, by then, it was his whole meal.
