Baby Corn-Do You Use It?

I eat them in a salad and if I remember I sometimes will pop some holes in the can and drop them in a seafood boil.

In a Bloody Mary. Which, can be like a salad after I get through adding stuff.

Cool article. I just learned so much about corn!

Me too. I'm going to make an effort to try them in a few different ways. I don't think about them. I like the idea of them in crab boil as someone suggested. I wouldn't be above tossing those hot babies in a little butter either.

Chinese restaurant dishes around here used to have it sometimes, but not so much lately in the ones I visit.

I have bought the canned baby corn and used it in stir fries, but I pretty much stopped because it tasted canned and "tinny" even if rinsed, sauced, etc.

The comments on the article are interesting. It seems folks in some states get it fresh at Wegmans, Trader Joes and similar stores, and folks in Ireland, Scotland and the UK posted to say they have it in stores year around. I've never seem it fresh.

We use it in stir fry and salad.
