Bringing corn on the cob over to my visit to England?

I don't think corn is native to the UK and the soil would affect the taste, I think. 

People have bought decent corn on the cob here?  I must really be missing something.. . 

I have to agree with you -- I find the corn on the cob here disappointing- it has a different texture to me.

You occasionally can find it decent at the supermarket but it's usually too old if it's prepackaged so the texture gets tough. But to get it really good, you need to buy it from a farm stand. I had it in Devon many times and while it wasn't Maryland corn, it was pretty darn good.

A week or so ago, I bought corn on the cob at Sainsburys (or was it Morrisons?) that was sourced from the USA.  Now obviously, it couldn't have been picked just that day (imported!), and it wasn't in the husk, but still...  It was pretty good all the same!  Read your labels.  They usually say where the product is from.  

Our Sunday Farmer's Market which has to be UK grown or produced has corn on the cob in the husk altough it's a bit too early in the summer season.

I want some corn after reading this thread.

From the midlands of England, down, you can grow corn in your garden. Tastes really good when picked fresh. All corn gets starchy after it has been picked for a while.

We used to go pick your own corn picking when I was a kid in farms in sussex. It was so good you could eat it raw right in the fields.

Oh nice CB! I was toying with the idea of making and canning my own Dill pickels!

I just thought of this thread yesterday when I was in Morrisons and bought some corn in the husk.  It was on offer at 3 for £1.  It was pretty good, but not sure where it came from as it was sold loose.

I saw some yesterday at ASDA in Derby as well. In the husk...I didn't get any as I only like the white but it was there.

We got some gorgeous corn in the vegbox last week. High hopes for this week as well!
