corn on cob

Buttered summer side

Corn on the cob is an ear of maize cooked and eaten whole, with kernels still attached to the central core.

A summer staple at cookouts and picnics, it's typically boiled or grilled and served with butter and salt: We had burgers and corn on the cob.

The phrase often drops the article: corn on cob.
