That's Italian. :colbert: (e. you fixed it! gently caress huitlacoche though)

For an actual disgusting Mexican food, huitlacoche:



A delightful fungus that destroys corn but which can be sold for much higher prices than the corn itself. Goes great in tacos, I guess.



I've actually had this! The nasty looking hairs are actually corn silk, so that's not part of it. If you think of is as basically a type of mushroom that grows inside the corn kernel, and tastes like one too, it's not that bad. Despite the dark color it tastes like somebody just took a mushroom, diced it up sauteed it and put in in a tortilla. It tastes a lot like your run of the mill mushroom, a little stronger than than a button mushroom but kinda sweet from the sugar in the corn.

edit: if you are tempted, you can get it canned at Mexican food stores in the United States, but I'd imagine it tastes as good as any other canned mushroom: not good at all.
