My preference is cut it onto the plate. An ear of corn makes a surprisingly big pile.
My requirement. I won't eat the chit off the cob. I'll CUT it off and butter, salt & pepper it and chow down. But I hate fuggin corn in my teeth for two days, toothpick and toothbrush or not. 😡

Side to side.
Left to right.
Big end to little end. Butter and salt. This is my method as well.

It is good to see some consensus from the Midwest corn growing states and dunking the whole ear into a vat of Wisconsin melted butter like they do here at the fair would drip off the elbows nicely. Butter and one of you mentioned mayonnaise plus salt to keep the blood pressure up with nice small bore arteries. What more could your cardiologist ask for? I can see that I'll need to pay more attention from which end I start on from now on, but always left to right.

Tip:..... (Unlike how to load a dishwasher...) Rocky; Good afternoon to you sir, I hope all is well with you folks down in your part of the world. Thanks for the good chuckle sir, I had hoped I wasn't the only one who after all these years didn't load the dishwasher correctly! I'll note that I do my own laundry every week successfully so it's not that I can't run any domestic machinery, but the dishwasher is another matter entirely. All the best to you folks as we head into fall Rocky. Dwayne PS; No thoughts on corn on the cob from me, sorry. There isn't - as far as I'm able to ascertain anyway - a preferred single method amongst Canucks.

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? If your corn needs mayo you need better corn. Try some Bodacious.

Good corn on the cob is some of the best eating a fella can get!
Butter, salt, and maybe pepper. Sometimes switch it up with some Johnnys or other seasoning. It don’t matter.
Don’t care how I chew it off.

Olathe sweet corn from Colorado’s west slope is some of the best I ever lifted a lip over.

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...) Anymore, we spin the ear on top of the butter bar. Thorough, even, and heavy coverage. Amateurs. Heavily butter a piece of bread. Wrap it around the cob and roll it until the cob sufficiently buttered. Salt accordingly. May substitute garlic salt and grated Parm. Reuse bread as needed. You can reload the bread as well. Toss it at the end of the meal. The best is corn at the Wisconsin State Fair grilled in the ear, then dunked in a coffee can of melted butter. Heaven.

If your corn needs mayo you need better corn. Try some Bodacious. Peaches and Cream. White and yeller. Goodness gracious it’s good.

Extra unnecessary step, wasted bread slice, and butter left behind. 😜😜😂
