I woke up this morning with the word "huitlacoche" in my head and I had no idea why. I looked it up on wikipedia and it turns out it's a weird-ass black, swollen, infected version of corn that some people consider a delicacy.

I was like why do I even know this word.

Then I remembered! I had seen it years ago on Steve don't eat it!, which is great food writing and you should read it all if you haven't already. The your-mom jokes in the Huitlacoche episode are kinda dumb but I like a lot of the other ones and anyhow I take pleasure in reading about another dude eating really gross things so I don't have to.
