Mary – yes, the cilantro thing is weird. I used to feel just like you do – couldn’t stand the stuff. Since going gluten free a few years ago, though, I find I absolutely love it. It’s so bizarre!

I can share a hint about growing corn. Be sure to plant at least four rows. Corn is wind pollinated, not insect pollinated. You’ll need more rows for the wind to blow across to make sure you get any kernels on the cobs.

AMAZING way to prepare corn….salty/sweet pairings are always my favorites!

Me too, Mary. Cilantro ruins food for me. This looks like it would taste great without it. Just less colorful. Maybe substitute parsley?

Am I the only one who can’t stand cilantro? It tastes like soap to me! Honest! But I did find out somewhere on the web eons ago that people have different taste buds and that some people’s taste buds actually DO make them experience a “soap in the mouth” experience with cilantro! Crazy I know but it did make me feel like I wasn’t insane from the soap taste. Anyone else experience this?

I make “bacon dust” and use it instead of salt when I make corn on the cob. Just cook the bacon really crispy and drain it really well When it has cooled complete you put in the food processor or blender and pulse until it is really fine. Keep it in an air tight container in the fridge…sprinkle it on foods like you would salt and pepper.

I love corn and cheese and bacon, who doesnt?! I make something really similar to this but its more “excessive” you could say. Its a fun twist on what you have going on here and its cheesier, for all those cheese fanatics out there.

I’m of the belief that crumbled cheese, bacon and cilantro on anything would be fabulous. The idea of it on grilled corn sounds out of this world!

Ooh, I’m gonna have to adapt this one — sounds delicious, but I don’t have a grill. But I bet sautéed corn with bacon and cheese would be awesome, too.
