SPED the vegetable man from afar
enthroned on an enormous pile of
corn. and welcomed him joyfully.
For corn is one Of the most reliable
and likable of all our summer vege-
tables. and cook it in a variety OF
ways. It's one Of the few things that
we can eat In quantity at a single meal.
and it's most nutritious and easy to
cook. Corn Is 75 per cent water and
only 8 per cent protein, but IT has also
l per cent Of fat and 1871 per cent car
bohydrates, and only I per cent ash, so
that all in all it really Is an ideal food
for hot days when one is hungry enough
to eat a fairly large quantity and vet
a lot of protein-meats or even eggs
is distasteful.
At first l used to cook corn Is and
even 81 minutes and more in the delu-
sion that the longer IL cooked the more
tender it became. But one or two dis
astrous experiments changed my view
point! For only few ears OF corn.
10 minutes Of cooking. after dropping
in the boiling water is ample; indeed.
sometimes eight minutes is sufficient
Also it's a good plan to keep the corn
we'll surrounded with boiling water.
But the longer corn cooks after the
psychological moment when 1t gets
lender the less favor It has and the
tougher it gets.
There are other delicious ways OF pre-
pairing corn so that we can have 1t at
several meals In succession-if an extra
supply on hand makes 1t necessary
without tiring the palate with them.
