Your local smut peddler?

More seriously, I can usually get huitlacoche in canned form at my
local grocery store here in New Hampshire (it hides well on the bottom
shelf, however). I also got some fresh stuff from a local farmer this
year, but that's because he knew I was looking for some.

Go back a few months to the "Corn Smut" thread and you'll see that
even a large number of rfc'ers think the concept of eating corn fungus
is gross:

Myself, I love the stuff. A proper hand-rolled huitlacoche and chard
taco is to die for.
