    Hello,

    I am going to a BBQ this weekend and I'm planning on making some corn on the cob a la Jamie Oliver in this recipe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O06gM0XFOos

    I need them with the husks still on (plus it tastes nicer than frozen ones that way) but I have no idea where I can find them in Dublin. Any help is appreciated! (I just moved back here from the states where you can get corn in the husk for about 30c a pop :( )

    Oh and btw, I'm making this gem for dessert.. http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2011/04/grapefruit-campari-sorbet/#more-5253 :)

    You can get them in lidl, they come in packs of 2, vacuum packed in water to keep them fresh. They're already cooked and just need to be heated up. I think they're around 1 euro per pack of 2.

    Sorry, just realised that the ones in lidl are on the cob but NOT on the husk.... Nearly sent ya on a wild goose chase!

    These don't have the husk on them though, plus they're ready cooked which is also not what the OP wanted I think.

    Seasonal produce. Should be in the shops soon. Must have a look at your Jamie link. Nothing nicer on the BBQ

    I bought some in the husks on Moore Street a couple of weeks back from one of those nice ladys with veg stalls cooked them on the bbq wrapped in bacon,they were gorgous,much nicer then the frozen ones,they were 2 for 3 euro and a fey of the stalls had them,presumably they are still in season you should be able to get some.:)

    We got some last weekend in Naas, in Swan's On The Green - Is that a bit too much of a trip? (I think they were 2 for €3, so a tad pricier than the States). You could ring in advance just in case...

    I'd say Fallon & Byrne might also be a good bet.

    +1 for Moore St.

    Was there yesterday & they had any amount of them. No idea how much they cost but i'm sure they'd be reasonable
