One Of the incest ways in which TO serve Indian
corn IS In a pudding. Secct firm. ears OF good
size: cut them from the cob in the following manner
With very keen-bladed knife cut the corn off the
cob cutting only to the depth OF half the kernel

one more suitable for breakfast is a corn pie Cut the
