At home, I husked the corn and got this:
WTF?The top cob is indeed peaches & cream, but the bottom cob is most certainly not.
After cooking, I slathered my corn in leftover feta butter from the other night, and...
The peaches & cream was tough and absolutely flavourless. It was sooooooo disappointing.
The non-peaches & cream tasted sweeter and was much more tender, but it was still not much better than the corn from the previous night.
Well, that concludes my corn experimentation for this summer. It's either a shitty year for corn in the west, or I was just too spoiled out east.

Corn hasn't come in full force here yet. Our summer has been fairly mild.
I am looking forward to it, we do get some good corn here and fortunately I am close enough to cornfields that I can go straight to the farmers for it.
I'm guessing some of the yellow corn got mixed in with the P&C corn. Too bad your experiment didn't turn out better. I laughed out loud with your WTF comment.I had some white corn that was pretty good recently. My SIL always puts a tablespoon of sugar in the boiling water for her COBS.
That peaches and cream one looks old too, it's all mashed up on the one side. There's still fall though, the year isn't a complete washout! Yet...
Woot for brisket! Just remember, it wants long, slow cooking or else it will be tough.
Bob: how long & how slow?
The peaches and cream sounds so promising! Sorry it wasn't good. At least you had one good piece to console yourself with - and feta butter! MMMM.
aww... too bad it looks so much better than it tasted. i haven't had any corn this year. must remind myself to get some!
MOH calls it "Cow Fodder" We don't have much luck with corn either and it's grown all around us. It's very hit & miss, but mostly miss. Really enjoyed WTF! Thank-you for an excellent site.
Shar: welcome! What's "MOR"? Cow fodder, indeed. That's all this was good for!
"MOH" my other half. I could call him something else but it wouldn't be printable, hehe! Just kidding!
That is truely disappointing. With a name like peaches and cream....I'd definately expect more.
What a bummer :( But it sounds pretty awesome w/ that butter!!!
