"stuffed with...corn fungus and cow eyes."
Hard to believe this hasn't caught on in America! :) Actually, corn fungus is called "smut" and is quite the delicacy. It's like a big, blob of a mushroom that grows on ears of corn.

It is actually called huitlacoche and it is quite good, very similar to truffles, but not as expensive. Remember that mushrooms and truffles are fungus too.

The James Beard Foundation is trying to rename Corn Smut the “Mexican Truffle.”
