Orik Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 where do baby corns come from? all joking aside, are they just regular corn that's picked before it's grown? google says: Baby corn is almost always sweet corn, harvested just as it has begun to develop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tamar G Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 I had actually found that, but for some reason didn't believe it. I would think the immature corn would be too hard to eat at that stage, even after boiling. But if google says it, I guess it must be true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Behemoth Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Alright. How long can I safely keep duck fat in the fridge, and how do I know if it's gone bad? It was rendered last October, if memory serves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 It lasts a long time if your fridge is really cold. If it still smells yummy, it's fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tanabutler Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 About baby corn, I always thought they cooked or brined it or something to soften it up. I can never look at it without remembering the scene in "Big" at the buffet with Tom Hanks eating the baby corn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Suzanne F Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Oh no, it's real. One of the restos I used to work at served it -- we got it from Manhattan Fruit Exchange. It looks just like, well, little baby ears of corn, with the little husks and silk and all (not much silk, iirc). You could eat it raw, even. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

porkwah Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 where do baby corns come from? all joking aside, are they just regular corn that's picked before it's grown? "fetal corn" as my mom refers to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tamar G Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Next question: Why does hot liquid foam and bubble when you add salt to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mongo_jones Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 why is meat not cooked very long called "rare" when all the other grades are more directly descriptive? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
