Quote:
We are going to have corn on the cob for dinner. (Even though we are cooking more than one ear of corn we still say "corn on the cob".)
Can I say
I want to have some corn on the cob. ?

mmm can I ask you some more?
It may sound like I am a big corn lover or something...to keep asking about corn!


Let's say...
There are 100 ears of corn to eat for 5 people.
One of them is going to cook and ask others

"How would you like your corn?"

" I like my corn on the cob boiled."

" I want my corn cut in 5 grilled."

make sense???

Can I call it "corns" when they are separated I mean like....
"corn" you can buy at KFC!?
