Living here in the Midwest America. We eat sweet corn on the con...a lot. There are stands everywhere and it’s a thing, Do people in the rest of the world eat sweet corn on the cob ( we leave off the “sweet” dip or spread with butter and salt and roasted or heated in some way )

Corn on the cob, an American staple. I've been all across the continental USA and it is sold everywhere. And it is used in everything. Soaps, paints, corks, linoleum, polish, adhesives, rubber substitutes, wallboard, dry-cell batteries, textile finishings, cosmetic powders, candles, dyes, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, insulation, wallpaper and other starch products. Also industrial alcohols, fuel ethanol, recyclable plastics, industrial enzymes, fuel octane enhancers, fuel oxygenates and solvents. Nothing corny about corn  |

I can confirm special offers at my local Tesco supermarket on corn on the cob in the North of England.
Personally always found it a bit of a faff when the Jolly Green Giant provides much more easily consumed corn.

Have never seen corn on the cob for sale except uncooked in the supermarket in Australia. It’s becoming more common at BBQ’s over the last 10 years or so.
We have meat pies for sale at similar places you’d have corn on the cob.

Corn on the cob is definitely available here in Northern Ireland, but off-cob sweetcorn is definitely more common. Personally think eating on-the-cob adds something to it though...

Some people love corn on the cob on barbeques here in the UK. Not me though.

I never had it, I'd sub something else, maybe a pepper jack. Wiki says, "Lancashire is an English cow's-milk cheese from the county of Lancashire. There are three distinct varieties of Lancashire cheese. Young Creamy Lancashire and mature Tasty Lancashire are produced by a traditional method, whereas Crumbly Lancashire (more commonly known as Lancashire Crumbly within Lancashire) is a more recent creation suitable for mass production. It is traditionally paired with Eccles cakes and Chorley cakes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancashire_cheese |

I wonder.
What if you boiled the corn like normal then wrap it in bacon and fry it??
Corn is cheap... may try that experiment out! 😊
