Long cold winter on Prince Edward Island followed by a chilly spring and early July. That means sweet corn ripening has been delayed. But, it’s here at last. Hooray!!. BSK bought a dozen ears at Isaac’s Vegetable Stand in Montague. Zena Burns and husband, Richard, are in PEI for a brief visit. (Zena, an expert in the music business, has been a close friend of SJ’s for many decades). They were at dinner with the SJ/HG/ BSK family last night and a steaming platter of the corn was on the table. Heaven. Sweet, crunchy deliciousness. HG ignored butter and salt. PEI corn doesn’t need them. Like PEI oysters, HG prefers. sweet corn unadorned. The corn was followed by SJ’s tomato based soup of cod, mussels, potatoes and bacon. Very flavorful and just a bit fiery. Sweet corn is a tough act to follow, but SJ’s soup was not an anti climax.
