The wife and I see eye to eye on most things, but while it is not an insurmountable issue with us, she doesn't seem to remember her early TV training watching the magpies Heckle and Jeckle eat corn on the cob the using the correct typewriter method. Her logic says that she needs a cleaner handhold on both ends and because the center cools slower than the outsides, naturally a person would use the angering method. Being an individual 3-4 row bitterer myself, the salt adheres better to the recently buttered rows and with a downward rotation, one's chin stays butter free. We are at an impasse here, so as a last resort she told me to ask the fellas. What is the best way? I will abide by the decision, her, probably not. Like with most things we always discuss it, then do it her way. I'm digging in my heals on this one though.

You are correct , but if you’re not getting butter on you , you’re not using enough. And salt, enough to burn your lips . blood pressure be damned

A good wife can insert a whole ear and pull out just the cob.

I'm afraid you have a far too limited and simplistic view of the varieties available for eating corn on the cob. Mine is usually eaten without butter nor salt. I used to think it not palatable 'till the butter was running off my elbow. I start with the big end in my left hand, small in my right and peal it off with my top teeth going from left to right. A friend, my age 80, pulls out his old Buck, slices it from the cob into a bowl, adds butter, garlic salt and gums away. Wife of 55 years eats hers with butter only and with an upstroke of the lower jaw starting on the small end and going around as your wife does. She progresses in those circles from small end held in her left hand to the large end in her right. Those are but three variations from three people and you described two more. There are so many more. Eating corn on the cob is not a proper technique, my friend, it's an art!

Downward rotation keeps my mustache from wiping butter and salt off the upper levels. I always start at the small end, working towards the big finale at the stem. This is all just common sense. If someone has a better way to eat corn I'm all ears.

Tip: Apply butter with a fork, not a knife. A fork holds the butter pat firmly.
In Mexico, they apply a layer of mayo, then a sprinkling of Tajin spice. It's delicious that way. (Tajin is comprised of sea salt, crystal lime juice, and red pepper.)
As to the mechanics of how you get it from cob to stomach, there is no wrong way. (Unlike how to load a dishwasher...)

If someone has a better way to eat corn I'm all ears. This is my method and my my reasoning. Butter and salt. With the butter dripping off of my elbows.

If forced to eat it off the cob, it’s side to side. Which end and direction is purely preference.
My preference is cut it onto the plate. An ear of corn makes a surprisingly big pile.
No matter the method, large quantities of butter, salt, and pepper make it better.

If you aren’t rolling that ear of corn in best foods mayonnaise and liberal amounts of salt and pepper then I’m not sure why you’d be wanting to eat it in the first place?
