Nay, nay and thrice NAY !

It is entirely necessary to strip the cob from its leafy SHEATH before cooking, for two primary reasons:

1. The myriad of hairy stringy bits need removing from inside the sheath first, or these will unavoidably MAR your consumption as you try to pick it all off a piping hot cob.
2. The butter and seasoning need to be added BEFORE wrapping and grilling, so as to enable the butter to melt and mingle with whatever you have sprinkled upon its corny cobness.

Cooking them within their SHEATHS might be an option if you happened to be stranded on a desert island somewhere without any immediate access to bacofoil, but to resort to this method within an urban context would be a SCHOOLBOY error of quite BIBLICAL proportions.

Allotment is the way forward, £24 a year for a patch, lot of hard work to begin with but the rewards are massive. A 36yo with an allotment , how did i get old ?

Not at all Uncle S.
I'm sure I can't be the only one who has taken a cocktail stick to one of their own bum cigars and spelt out their name along its length in semi-digested sweetcorn ?

It was one of the few highlights on my school outward-bounds trip to the Brecon Beacons in 1987, and in fact turned out to be the only real source of amusement during the evenings.

Bastard. I've just spat out tea over my keyboard

Tut, tut. I'm gonna have to go with the roll-on deodorant headed one here, Easy.

Green-leaved sheaths is where it's at.

Dont they take up a lot of room for the yield given much like peas. A lot of people on our allotments have them growing so may try them next year.

I want no part of this madness. My cob MUST be unsheathed before it is ready for action.
