How about some corn smut with your coffee on this fine Monday morning? Corn smut, (aka huitlacoche, a Nahuatl word reportedly meaning raven’s excrement) as seen at Far West Fungi in the San Francisco Ferry Building. For a laugh, check out Steve, Don’t Eat It! Vol. 7, Cuitlacoche.
we got some from Ian at FWF and cooked it up this weekend! :) tasty! http://www.flickr.com/photos/bonequinha_sf/tags/huitlacoche/
ha, funny. how’d it taste?
looks terrible ;-)
It imparted earthy, smokey notes. Doesn’t have much of a taste on its own. Danny first sauteed it with some chiles, onion and peppers. The next day we made a risotto. Both tasty.
