Corn Fungus Food!............YUMMMMY!...............

[Robert DeLong]

I know I will pass, even if it promised to provide an amazing buzz. 🤣

[BBQToadRibs2]

I tried it in Baja. Meh. Over rated and over priced.

T be fair, actual truffles are over rated and over priced too.

[Red Badger]

Put enough CHOCOLATE OR GARLIC on something and it will taste good..............

[SunkenCiv]

Corn smut — it’s been eaten for a long, long time. :^)

Beats cicadas.

[dforest]

Ewww that is foul.

[Red Badger]

If I asked a waitress for “Huitlacoche” she would probably slap me...................

[Bob434]

Next up 9n the WHO recommended “must try” category, (ie you vill eat vat ve tell you), pond scum.

[Red Badger]

Pond Scum would actually be nutritious...............

[Responsibility2nd]

You will eat bugs CORN SMUT and like it.

[Responsibility2nd]

I know a waitress who’ll say…. That’ll cost ya extra.

[Red Badger]

Better leave a big tip.................

So’s a lot of what humans eat and drink, once you get down to it.

This morning I think I’m going to mix some spoiled glandular secretions from the underside of a cow with the blended failed oocytes some hens expelled from their solid waste holes. (That is, I’m going to have some cheese in my scrambled eggs).

I’ve had huitlacoche; I rather like the flavor, but not so much the texture. *shrugs* at least it’s a food with a long history, and not the globalists trying to make people eat bugs to suit their own agenda.

It is the look, not the description. I have tossed corn like this and I would still toss this. It looks like garbage.

[Responsibility2nd]

And don’t forget the house fee.

[Bob434]

I’ll be sure to tell any pond scum drinkers how well they look then lol

I have tossed corn like this and I would still toss this. It looks like garbage.

Agreed on both counts: it looks terrible, and yeah if I'm expected a regular ear of corn and see this, it's getting tossed 100% for me as well (only prudent; who's to say the fungus on your corn is an edible one without having been cultivated for human consumption..?)

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

“Corn Smut” still sounds better than “Corn Porn”.

Thanks, RB. I just sent this to a friend who is a pro at hunting wild mushrooms and has taught classes. She’s a good cook.
