Post #1 - September 20th, 2008, 8:01 amThree Sisters Farm (supplier to Bayless among others) is selling huitlacoche to the public today only. It was harvested 2 weeks ago and is frozen. $24/ lb for this rare opportunity....defended from strong temptations to social ambition by a still stronger taste for tripe and onions."

Post #6 - September 22nd, 2008, 8:09 pmI was appalled. Henry's Farm STILL sells this for $3/cob and its fresh, not frozen.

any idea how much huitlacoche by weight you get on a cob? (showing my cityboy ignorance)...defended from strong temptations to social ambition by a still stronger taste for tripe and onions." Screwtape in The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis

Post #8 - September 22nd, 2008, 9:21 pmRough guess - about 1/2 pound - but highly variable depending on the cob.

Post #9 - January 12th, 2009, 9:01 amA cold, snowy weekend with football games on and good beer in the fridge seemed like a good time to use the summer's purchase. Thawed overnight in the fridge, then sauteed in a combo of homemade garlic oil and butter, the Three Sisters huitlacoche was best thing I've tasted so far in this early part of 2009. Earthy, corny, and funky, I ate the delicious, unattractive-looking goo atop El Milagro tortilla chips, and washed it down with Three Floyds' Alpha Klaus seasonal porter.
