Corn on the cob isn’t good, the butter you put on it is. Corn is just a vehicle for the butter, like lobster.

@burgeroise imo lobster is mediocre slightly rubbery meat that people mostly eat as a delivery vehicle for drawn butter

I just heard Lobster referred to as “Just a vehicle for butter.” And I’ve never loved a phrase more.

Lobster is just chewy and flavorless, basically an expensive vehicle for garlic butter at best
