CORN ON THE COB WITH LIME, FISH SAUCE AND PEANUTS
As this recipe proves, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar is a powerful combination you should commit to memory. Traditionally, those three ingredients form the base of several classic Thai and Vietnamese sauces like nuoc cham and nam pla prik. The mayonnaise here is barely noticeable, but it serves an important role in helping the flavors adhere to the corn. The cilantro is optional so no one will throw a fit.

PEANUT BUTTERY CORN ON THE COB
This is how I grew up eating corn on the cob. The sweeter the corn the better it is. My husband has his reservations, but the kids liked it last summer. I will have to make a mental note to snap a picture this summer if we have it again.
