corn-cob
Buttered summer cylinder
A corn-cob is the hard cylindrical core of an ear of corn, to which the kernels attach.
After the corn is eaten, the cob remains: We threw the corn-cobs in the compost.
Dried cobs have served as fuel, pipe bowls, and before modern plumbing, as toilet material.
Also spelled as one word: corncob.
