English term or phrase: corn-on-the-cob
Greetings,

By this I mean maize in the form shown in the picture on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn-on-the-cob.
Under the picture it says “husked sweetcorn”, but the usual English name for it is “corn-on-the-cob”.

Many thanks,

Simon

pannocchia di granoturco/mais arrostita o lessata


Explanation:
va anche specificato se la pannocchia è di granturco, in quanto per esempio esistono anche le pannocchie di miglio (millet-cob); viene generalmente servita arrostita o lessata
