Is $1.25 per cob a decent price for American No. 1 grade sweet corn (degloved)?
>>22069997Lmao fuck no
>>22070004Should I just stick to canned then? Green Giant is only $1.25, and pretty sure there's more corns in one of those than on a cob.
>>22070019frozen if you must. corn isnt really food
>>22070021I realize that vegetables just water and fiber, a waste of time and money nutritionally, but doctors orders.
>>22070021frozen corn is very dry. I'd actually prefer canned if i couldn't get fresh.
>>220699974 of those should be less than 2 dollars, man. You're paying for... fuck I don't even know because the corn silk is still on there. You're paying to feel like you got nice 5 dollar corn I guess.
>>22070019I am the worst person to really ask, I live in the Midwest and corn is basically free in the summer...I guess if you want to roast some corn $1 a cob isn't bad
>>22069997for god's sake, whatever you do, just make sure you hold the cob upright
>>22070019Canned cant make classic corned ribblets.

>>22070115>not No.1 GradeThat's animal feed
>>22070122I'm an animal
>>22070124The proper term for human animals is goyim.
>>22070102>ribletswhy cant vegan fags stop eating meat in their minds? normal people dont eat meat because they enjoy the idea of eating flesh. we eat meat because it is nutritious and delicious and we are literally built to thrive on it. in this context anything pretending to be flesh is disgusting, it actually pushes people away from vegan insanity.
>>22070115>20 cents per earthis reminds me that some foods really should be free. i dont care who pays for it, its a waste of time and energy to process and track everything. milkcornsaltfloursugarcarrotsonionspotatoesapplesall the producers are forced to dump product to keep prices up. just give them the money and give us the food. i know the economics are complicated but there must be a way to make it work at lower cost than existing welfare programs
>>22070184The name is dumb but they are a perfectly valid preparation for food.
>>22070184when are you going to stop being triggered by the same things and responding in the same ways over and over again. arent you tired of living like this? of being this type of machine? wouldnt you rather go get a girlfriend and get on with your life?
>>22070184Ribblet is a shape, it has nothing to do with animal flesh. It's like nugget. You just associate it with meat because you're obsessed and projecting.
>>22069997Garbage vegetable.
>>22069997do canadians really?
>>22070195no problem with the (real) vegan food. its the forced meatifaction that makes no sense to me.
>>22070205i associate it with meat because of the Rib prefix with aligns extremely well with the bones and flesh of the rib cage of all of the large mammals from which ribs are harvested and prepared. but thats probably more about literacy than diet.
>>22070204i just dont understand why vegans want to associate their food with meat. shaved corn cob or something like that sounds a lot more appetizing than corn riblets. corn riblets just raises questions
>>22070216The way they come out and you eat them is exactly like ribs so I give this one a pass because the function truly does match the other food they reference. This isn't some bean/tofu/seitan loaf that they pretend is a burger through chemicals and needless molding.
>>22070223"shaved corn cob" sounds fucking awful compared to corn riblet, wtf are you talking about
i got 10 corn for $1 on memorial day weekend. i expect to see the same price or close to it for 4th of july
>>22070225you eat corn on the cob like ribs. there is nothing gained by adding steps and calling them riblets except for whatever value vegans see in naming their food after meat. >>22070228i said or whatever. we can do better than corn riblets for slices of corn cob.
>>22070238>there is nothing gained by adding steps and calling them ribletsTurning cobs into riblets is like making deboned chicken nuggets. If you don't see the value gained from that, you're a foodlet.
>>22070246could you make that point without referencing meat?
>>22070238>slices of corn cob.They aren't slices of cob, the cob is the part that's cut off and discarded.
>>22070248You're the one who brought meat into a thread that has nothing to do with meat, and now you want US to stop mentioning meat? gtfo you clown.
>>22070249i’ll take 2 slices of corn cob, a side of vegan riblets, and one small shaved corn
>>22070251>corned ribbletstypo aside, i did not introduce meat. vegantards did because they cant eat vegatables without pretending it is meat for some reason. normal people dont have this problem. i can each spinach without calling it ground leaf beef.
>>22070238>there is nothing to be gainedIt makes them easier to eat the corn kernels quickly because your teeth can go all the way around the section, it's an appealing visual design, and is almost no extra work if you've actually made them yourself. You going to bitch about vegans using cleavers to prepare them too? Vegans are dumb about pretend-meat but this isn't that, the name is justified fag.
>>22070262my only real complaint is naming it after meat. in my experience only vegans do the extra work when straightforward presentations suffice but there are always exceptions and if you want to tryhard at your bbq i dont have a problem with it. just dont see the point in serving eggplant "steaks". is there something wrong with grilled eggplant?
>>22070272You had a real complaint that the shape provided nothing of value and you were wrong. Can you admit that now that you actually think about it?
>>22069997max $1 each. MAX.
>>22070292Before or after tax?
>>22070208what's better?please name 4.>>22070213>>22069997I bought some carrots at Superstore recently. Green bag. Usually the bag is black. These ones I got were all wet and no matter how much I rinsed them, they were slimy. I thought "oh well" and peels them. Put them in my soup, and dug in. After a while I was like "oh fuck they are rancid, stupid fucking inhospitable Canadian winter dirt making those food fags store shit in warehouses for 10 years before hitting the shelf's"
>>22070273that was a failed attempt to ridicule your point to return focus to the meat naming problem while i do not think it is worth the effort i can see some value in seperating the corn from the cob in such a manner.
>>22070293if you have tax on raw corn you need to move. this isnt a joke. get out now.
>>22070293either or
>>22070295>name 4.wheat, potato, sweet potato, pizza
>>22070304>sweet potatoI'll give you a pass on this, but only if you're japanese (in winter they have sweet potatoes on a grill outside and it makes the air smell pretty)
>>22070299would
>>22070296There's barely any effort if you can wield a cleaver properly(probably not many vegans to be fair).You're spoiled for choice on things that vegans nonsensically name after meat products so it's silly to go after the one meat-referenced dish whose name makes sense.
>>22070295>please name 4.Avocado, pickles, tomato, water chestnuts
corn is so easy to grow. They are like vegetable bananas.
>>22070319>picklesit's insane how these all come from India to Canadian stores across the countrysame for Aussie/NZ beefmakes my nationalism go away
>>22070317>the one meat-referenced dish whose name makes sense.It's not even a meat reference, it's purely topological. It's like calling a tater tot a potato nugget. Simple goys with think that's a chicken reference, but it's purely to do with shape. Gold nuggets existed long before chicken nuggets were invented.
>>22070323>same for Aussie/NZ beefoh yeh, well I'll tell you what you're going eat our beef and your going to let it slide alllllllll the way down your throat and theres nothing you can do about it.
>>22070326It is clearly a meat reference in this particular case because you are eating them like the meat dish by the same name, man. It's obvious that is what's being referenced but you'll be a contrarian retard and say that because the word rib could be used in a different totally unrelated way, there's no way that corn ribs that you eat like meat ribs could possible have gotten their name by referencing the meat dish.
>>22070334Cope and seethe. A rib is a platonic form. Meat ribs are named so because they're an instantiation of that platonic form. Corn riblets are also named thusly.
>>22070339>Corn riblets are also named thusly.Do you have any proof that the name was derived from the platonic form and not the meat dish that they often accompany at barbecues, or are you talking out of your ass to be a contrarian fag?
>>22070343>talking out of your ass to be a contrarian fag?Project more. You're the one who falsely claimed without evidence that they're named after meat. You no doubt think lady finger cookies are also trying to associate themselves with meat.
>>22070351The thing is that most foods shaped like that aren't called ribs, now are they? Strange we don't call peeled bananas "fruit ribs", or prepared slices of bell pepper "pepper ribs". Almost like things related to food tend to reference food instead of philosophical terms. You fucking idiot.
>>22070351can we at least agree you are a vegan?otherwise i need to know why youre on this hill.
>>22070365Worse. He's a pseud.
>>22070365>standing up for corn makes you a veganI eat meat. I'm just pro-corn. Sick of people bad mouthing corn, implying it plays second fiddle and needs to ride the coat tails of meat.
>>22070374i will agree corn does not need meat.
>>22069997No. A good price it’s like 50¢ an ear. the solution to this problem is to genocide the regulatory bureaucracy that stifles production and innovation.
>>22070357Vegans named fruit leather after animal skin so they could trick themselves into thinking they're eating actual leather when they have a fruit roll up.
>>22070382based corn appreciator
>>22070374You'd have to be legitimately ESL to think that I was talking bad about corn just because I recognize that one dish references another. Don't know how someone comes to that conclusion, I love corn, almost everyone does. Maybe that's your cope now that you've tried googling non-meat dishes named after ribs to bolster your platonic solids position and realized that you're coming up dry.
>>22070327I don't eat meat, oil, or fats. Gives me acne.
>>22070385The problem is internal combustion engine cars. Big Ethanol buys all the corn so they can turn it into bio fuel, driving up the price for simple corn enjoyers.
>>22070399I accept your apology and concession. You got btfo by all the examples of food that use animal related terms to describe its shape, and have nothing to do with trying to pretend to be meat like you schizophrenically insist. The fact that no one calls peeled banana fruit ribs doesn't prove your fallacious claim that corn riblets are pretending to be meat.
>>22070422>that fact that no one calls banana fruit ribsCan you give me 10 established dishes that have the word "rib" in the name in a way that is obviously related to the platonic shape and not related to the meat? Since you have "all the examples" after all. Kind of hard to argue for corn ribs being purely related to the platonic form if you can't drum up anything else not related to animal rib meat. If not I accept your concession that you're a pseud who just learned about platonic solids yesterday. I've entertained your retardation for too long as it is.
>>22070422>pretending to be meatAnd I never even said that. I said it references the other dish, not that it pretends to be meat. You really can't read.
>>22070439>And I never even said that. I said it references the other dish, not that it pretends to be meat.You're drowning and backpaddling. You absolutely said its pretending to be meat:>why cant vegan fags stop eating meat in their minds?You made that schizo assertion and can't back it up. I gave plenty examples where food is named for the shape and has nothing to do with vegan fags wanting to pretend they're eating meat. Corn riblets are no exception, no matter how many vegans live rent free in your head.
>>22070458>why cant vegan fags stop eating meat in their minds?I was the guy giving that poster shit for that and trying to get him to admit he was wrong and that the shape gives the dish advantages, you absolute retard. You even replied to my post specifically telling him it was silly to go after a meat-referenced dish that makes sense. You replied to my post where I was saying that this is NOT an example of vegans trying to eat meat in their minds, and now you're saying I am the guy that I was telling off when you replied to my post telling him off. You can't even follow a fucking reply chain, what is wrong with you?
>>22070464Prove you're not that guy by saying something nice about vegans.
>>22070476In my experience most of them are doing it for the right reasons because they care about animals, and while there are dietary pitfalls, I find they tend to be healthier than the average person(low bar) just because having to be intentional with your diet makes you eat less carelessly. I don't know why that guy had such a hate boner for vegans.
>>22070483Okay, I believe you. I admit I wasn't paying attention to which anon is which. Corn't we all just get along?
