These sources appear to be combining the word cuitlacoche for “thrasher”[9] with cuitla, meaning “excrement”,

corn poops?

I like Mexican food.
I like mushrooms.
But I do NOT like corn smut!

[gr8eman]

It used to be called “Smut”. I do not know why. It’s purple and we used to have Smut fights while packing large amounts of corn. Once you got it on your clothes you just chuck ‘em in the garbage!

Who needs raven poop? I already have a cat box.

[rlmorel]

LOL...the cat box thingies are no problem to harvest, and you can pick em up...

That is if your Labrador Retriever doesn’t get there first...:)

Yes, ‘corn smut’.

It’s apparently considered a ‘delicacy’ in Mexico.

But as much as I like Mexican food, I’ll pass on this :-)

““1000 year old eggs””

when i traveled in china for a month 40 years ago, i ate almost everything that was put in front of me throughout the country, but i absolutely refused to eat 1000 year old eggs: black & gelatinous and nasty as shit looking ...

I have seen some that looks fresher and rather nice. Of course that was back before I knew it was edible and delicious.

This article goes nicely with the one about amino acids helping to alleviate Alzheimer’s.

“Do you ever wonder what inspires someone to try something for the first time?”

Are you not familiar with the term double dog dare?

I am hoping someone on FR chimes in that has fresh smut off the cob. I had maybe 1/2 dozen ears in my small patch this year and just tossed them in the hay field.

But something about it remains revolting to me. (And I love mushrooms!)

They are imperialist colonialist mushrooms. /s
