huitlacoche

[sparkles2307]

Anyone eat "corn smut"? I knew it was a delicacy in Mexico, which makes me really want to try it since we get a healthy infection in our corn fields and garden each year... but I cant find anything on google for cooking it. I am always up for new funky things, as long as it isnt a funky animal part... anyone familiar with this food?

I have seen it on t.v. once...

Never tried it though...

DH wont let me feed a corn infection to him... its "the mexican truffle" so cant be that bad...

Isn't that almost the same thing as "hominy"?

The Sneeze (one of the funniest blogs in existence) has a segment called Steve, Don't Eat It!
He did huitlacoche for Volume 7.
Enjoy!
