The driveway here on the farm runs alongside a cornfield. This has been a really wet summer, lots of rain and humidity. We were noticing that some of the corn looked funny - so Bob stopped and checked it out yesterday. It is Huitlacoche, AKA corn *****.
I know this is supposed to be a delicacy in Mexico and a friend described it as one of the best things she ever ate. Has anyone ever cooked it or eaten it??? Is it worth "poaching" some of it??? It's certainly not attractive, and I read that to actually cultivate it commercially in the US a permit is required - somehow I don't think this guy is raising it for the market

You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
