    I swear there was an ancient funny blog that introduced me to huitlacoche in the early 00’s. I finally tried it a few years back (in Mexico) and it’s pretty good!

    I thought the blog was Steve Don’t Eat It! but I’ve only found those archived posts and no corn smut. Maybe it was an old Cracked or Something Awful listicle?
