Corn on the cob is popular in all countries where it is grown. There are many ways to cook it; boiling in water, cooking on charcoal (as popular in Eastern countries), oven baking etc. In India and other eastern countries, it is eaten with a coating of spices and lemon juice. In most western countries, it is served with a knob of butter on a piping hot cob. Here it is cooked with butter and honey.
