I clearly remember lying under a tree in the corner of the paddock sinking my teeth into a freshly picked cob of corn. I really savoured the moment as the milky corn juice dripped off the end of my chin. It was then that I saw a couple of guys walking my way through the tall rows of corn. Being a sociable, generous spirited sort of guy, I invited them to share in the succulent corn. Now this is where the afternoon took an unexpected turn. Apparently, so they said, if I , d wanted to enjoy the corn, I should have bought some and eaten it at another place (I , ve had to paraphrase their comments). Well, I learned my lesson; if you want to eat corn at the side of a paddock, don, t draw attention to yourself by wearing a bright yellow suit. Try this BBQ recipe, no matter where you get your corn, it, s delicious. Come On The Bay!
