My experience with smut

[+ Chris Eisenhower]

Corn smut, that is.

 

I was at a nice Mexican restaurant this weekend, post-Turkey day, and tried huitlacoche, or corn smut. It's a fungus that grows on corn ears and destroys them. The fungus is regarded as a blight in America, but is a delicacy in Mexico. It has "a flavor described as mushroom-like, sweet, savory, woody, and earthy," which is pretty much spot-on. Not the prettiest food, but it's not half bad.

Oh, on the topic of smut... I saw "Frozen" this weekend. The animation is amazing and as an extra bonus the male lead appears to be based on Colby Keller.

I always thought that the Hulk, in the Ang Lee version, facially resembled Lukas Ridgeston. Maybe just me being hopeful...

Interesting...I learn something new everyday though it does look a bit unappealing.

 

Granted, I was disappointed that this thread wasn't about Chris teaching those boys at CorbinFisher how it's really done! But I guess corn smut and my fantasies will have to do for now.

Huitlacoche (corn smut) is a delicacy in Mexico, and rightly so. Try a grilled quesadilla with huitlacoche and cheese. Yummy!

Was it spread on a tortilla or something?

I asked if they served it and the waiter brought out a sample in a small soufflé dish.

Is it anything like hominy?

Hominy that looks like it's been stir-fried in motor oil.
