I’ll try to refrain from any double entendres, but puns aside, this fascinating little Korean ice cream snack from Lotte is actually called the Cornie.
I absolutely cooed in delight when I unwrapped the packaging – this little cob just appealed to my kooky sense of whimsy. The wafer style exterior was shaped as an ear of corn, and there was no stick to speak of, just a stalk to grab on to and bite.
Inside, a deliciously vanilla ice cream confection covered in chocolate and studded with glutinous kernals of corn. Seriously – whole kernals. And it wasn’t at all unpleasant – the taste of the sweet corn went ever so nicely with the vanilla and chocolate. It was altogether a very pleasing snack.
Haha, it was surprisingly yummy!
Although I think you should sack your hand model.
I can’t wait to read about all the kooky Japanese ice creams you have a crack at on your trip
Dare I say after that, “Your taste’s all in your mouth!” :0)
… and dare I further ask “where do you geddit?”
Hey anna – n’ah, the hand model can keep her job
She rocks! And yes, I too can’t wait for all the Japanese ice-creams I’ll find. There is a place in Tokyo called Ice Cream World that I’m very keen on checking out 
Hey lord sedgwick – I thought you’d like this one
You can find it at Green Mart on Exhibition, or I think I have even seen it at the Urban Grocer, lower level Melbourne Central. Good lick…er luck!
Hehehe… looks weird on the outside but yummy on the inside..
Yum! It sounds good!! I better get myself a pack of it soon!
Ooh thanks Mellie for keeping us informed of the latest in korean ice-cream delights! i tried out the fish-shaped ice-cream you reviewed a while back and liked it heaps (and also relieved that it wasn’t fish-flavoured
). Me thinks i need to pay a visit to the korean grocery store up here in civic sometime soon! I wonder what these guys will think up next?
Hey there cherrie pie – yeah, looks weird, but tastes bloody good
Hi hungry hamster – well, I hear hamsters are not adverse to nibbling on corn cobs
Hey serenity later – it is absolutely my pleasure to keep all and sundry informed in the peculiarities of Korean ice confection. In fact, I am damn near obsessed!
I wish you could so bring one of these back to Australia!
opps i was trying to comment on iron eaters but mistakenly commented here instead =p
i tried the red bean fish (just the shape) ice cream that looks similar and it taste great too!
I wouldn’t mind trying that!
