Huitlacoche
Anyone know how to get some huitlacoche mushrooms here in the states?
I grew fond of them in Mexico and was able to get them at a specialty food store for a while but the place closed. Haven't seen them anywhere else since and I've had no luck via the web. Why can I find shitake, morel, oyster and portabella mushrooms but no huitlacoche that's right across the border (I'm in TX!)? |

Canned is better than nothing. So where can you find it, Fiesta or a specialty place? I'm in Austin/San Antonio and I can't believe there's no demand with the huge mexican population, guess they're becoming more and more tex-mex and more and more americanos with each generation. Those abuelitas need to keep the raza alive!

Huitlacoche
Hmm, a greater interest lately, I wonder why. Huitlacoche could become
the new shitake. What do you mean by "purposely infecting their crops"? GMOs, pesticides...? Well, thanks for the info, very helpful.

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. > Why can I find > shitake, morel, oyster and portabella mushrooms but no huitlacoche > that's right across the border (I'm in TX!)? 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: http://tinyurl.com/y92poj Myself, I love the stuff. A proper hand-rolled huitlacoche and chard taco is to die for. -- Richard W Kaszeta http://www.kaszeta.org/rich |
