roasting ear

Soon, thereafter, the green corn or roasting-ear came into season, and I heard no more of the scurvy.

When the katydid (tsĭkĭkĭ′) is heard a little later they say, “Katydid has brought the roasting-ear bread.”

In short, there had never before been seen, in that neighbourhood, a roasting-ear patch quite as vigorous.

She held out to me, in proof of her words, a blackened and unseemly roasting-ear.

They camped there by the creek, and they stayed until they had eaten every roasting ear.
