Well, the only thing I can think of is to compost it.

You can use it for the other purposes you mentioned, but I'm not convinced you'll be happy with the quality.

Corn chowder would probably work. Many times it will plump back up again if it is boiled.

Perhaps a corn chutney?

Grind it for corn meal?

Feed it to chickens?

Save it for seed? (Was it open pollinated or hybrid?)

I have about twenty ears sitting on dried stalks in my garden.

I wouldn't waste my time or energy making any food out of it as it will be tough and "chewy" even after processing. Grinding for corn meal or grits if you can would be a good way to use it. Otherwise use it as a fall decoration or compost it as Carol suggested. There is always next year for corn. ;)
