Corn on the Cob Coins

These disks of fresh corn are cooked in a foil packet on the grill. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and butter, the corn steams inside the packet and the kernel edges brown, taking on a roasted, nutty flavor.

    Do you then eat the cob with the kernels? It seems rather difficult to cut all the kernels off each "corn coin" in order to eat them.
