Many years back I gave the birds a couple of cut down corn cobs...
They looked at them and said "Yep, they're yellow", and ignored them, ha ha.
But the possums...they fell on them... ha ha...
The were the greatest thing known to possum kind... ha ha.
Over the years I became thoroughly tired of trying to cut corn cobs with a chef's knife, and keep various parts of my hands intact in the process... ha ha.
It's got an impressive blade on it, it wouldn't look out of place in a Hammer film, ha ha, but when it came to cutting corn cobs there were no corners to cut, ha ha.
Lacking a meat cleaver and large butcher's block, or perhaps a French Revolution era guillotine, I found the task somewhat difficult... in short, corn cobs are not the easiest things to cut... ha ha.
Don't even think about sawing through one, you can't begin to imagine the mess!
Although, in hindsight, using a power saw might have been a little over the top, ha ha...
So, in the end I took the easy way out and bought a can of "budget" creamed corn...
It looks like it's been through the blender, twice... and flows with much the same ease as 20W50 motor oil... well, not quite, but don't knock the can over once you've opened it... ha ha.
Your cleaning up options will be spending the next 25 minutes getting to work with a handful of paper towels or just letting the possum in... ha ha.
Sloppy, wet creamed corn, and don't they love it! ha ha.
