corn cob
Buttered summer cylinder
A corn cob is the cylindrical core of an ear of corn, to which the kernels are attached.
After the kernels are removed, the bare cob remains—dried cobs have been used as fuel, pipe bowls, and historically as toilet paper.
Corn on the cob refers to corn eaten directly off the cob, typically boiled or grilled.
