It wasn't barbecued but was boiled in a large vat. The cobs had each had a kebab stick inserted in one end to hold it by and they were dipped in a tin of melted butter when you bought them. Best of all was that it was "peaches and cream" corn so totally delicious.<BR/>PamelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37188293.post-45931372603618300732008-06-10T10:45:00.000+01:002008-06-10T10:45:00.000+01:00Your bbq vegetable kebabs look brilliant - somethi...Your bbq vegetable kebabs look brilliant - something I know I would really enjoy!!Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861602553420699670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37188293.post-44320452359968834132008-06-10T09:54:00.000+01:002008-06-10T09:54:00.000+01:00Margaret - Do try them.

Another good vegetable to do this with is leeks. Leave the outer skin on. Cook them on the bbq until they are blackened on the outside then slit the outer skin and peel off. It gives them a fantastic sweet taste.<BR/> <BR/>They do something similar in Catalunya, Spain with calcots (like a cross between a leek and a large spring onion) and serve it with Romesco Sauce. It's always done when in season though, usually at the end of the Winter, start of Spring.Amanda at Little Foodieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262887792010049693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37188293.post-87201361213029591822008-06-05T05:17:00.000+01:002008-06-05T05:17:00.000+01:00I think that this is one of the best ways to eat v...I think that this is one of the best ways to eat vegetables.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37188293.post-87996795136919612822008-06-04T18:26:00.000+01:002008-06-04T18:26:00.000+01:00All those different veggies on sticks would intimi...All those different veggies on sticks would intimidate most kids.

One of my favourites is corn on the cob or Red Pepper and Halloumi Parcels. I haven't got the recipe for those on my blog, but I have shared it here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.recipezaar.com/174426Sylviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476338461415416067noreply@blogger.com
