Béa from the oh-so-French food blog La Tartine Gourmande only discovered fresh sweet corn, living in America. "Corn ears are not common in France and will be difficult to find in small village stores, even if we have plenty of corn fields. To be able to purchase corn ears, my mum needs to drive to the nearest much bigger town. In fact, I had never eaten corn on the cob before moving to the United States. Until then, the only corn I knew was corn in a can. The fake corn!" ~ Listen in on Bea's corn-y conversation with her mother, plus get the recipe for A Real Corn Soup BlogHer food editor Alanna Kellogg slips fresh corn into Sengalese Soup from her food column Kitchen Parade and today shares an Iowa farmwife's technique for how to freeze corn in her food blog A Veggie Venture.
