Ah...apparently you want to focus on high quality smut because when I was in college, we were told that corn smut caused spontaneous abortion in cattle and some varieties (ergot) were believed to have contributed hallucinogenic properties that may have resulted in individuals acting in a bizarre manner which caused others to accuse them of witchcraft, or demon possession and burn them at the stake etc.

Ever wonder what’s the nasty black stuff you scrape off the floor under Mexican’s refrigerators? “It’s a delicacy!”

where huitlacoche-munching Aztecs first built floating fields atop rafts of wood and soil - Eating this stuff may explain the disappearance of the Aztec civilization.

Eating this stuff may explain the disappearance of the Aztec civilization. Not as well as Cortez and smallpox.

Two years ago, we had a lot of rain at the wrong time and we got smut on the corn. I was going to burn the patch, but then, weather turned warm and dry and it just dried up and blew away. I was terrified it would infect the ground, but last year was fine, with no smut.
In Mexico, they deliberately infect fields in order to get the smut. I did read up on it and the *mouth feel* was described as gross, so I passed.
Has anyone here ever eaten it, either fresh or canned?
