- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2019
- Huitlacoche, or corn smut, is a grey fungus that grows on corn and apparently makes for good eating, so let's try some! Big thanks to Trena for sending me the huitlacoche to make this episode possible. 🙏🏼

If anybody is wondering why "Huitlacoche" looks so weird as a word and not like a Spanish word... it isn't! It's Nahuatl, which is essentially the Aztec language (most of the core cities in the Aztec empire were culturally Nahuan). There's actually a surprising amount of english words with Nahuatl origins, many culinary: "Tomato" comes from the Nahuatl "Tomatl" (which are actually speffically Green tomatos; red tomatos were Xitomatl) Coyote comes from "Coyotl", including many others such as Advocado/Guacamole (ahuacatl/ahuacamolli), Chipotle(Chilpoctli), Chocolate (chocolatl, while "cacao" has Maya roots). If you've ever looked at a map of Mexico and wondered why so many places have weird names like Tlaxcala, Acapulco, Oaxaca etc: They are either Nahuatl or other Mesoamerican languages like various Maya languages, Mixtec, Zapotec, Totonac, Purepecha, etc. There's actually still millions of people who speak these languages, with 20% of Mexico's population speaking them or identifying as ethnically indigenous, and in reality it's likely as many as twice that are still mostly ethnically Maya, Nahua, Mixtec, etc, even if they don't realize it. A lot of people think that these are dead, ancient civilizations, when in reality they are very much still around even if they've been culturally assimilated somewhat.
This was so nice to learn!
I lived in Tlaxcala for about 2 months with my aunt and uncle! Fun fact: it's name comes from a Nahuatl origin that roughly means "tortilla place," as *tlaxcalli* is the Nahuatl word for tortilla
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the etymology lesson, I had no idea tomato and coyote were derived from Nahuatl
Wow that was fascinating! Thank you!
I love how you’re so appreciative of other cultures
She really is.
She is one of the nicest people on this green earth of ours
You may have hit on an element of benevolent peace😉
@Stephen Murphy A dream I wish could come true!
Yes! She is so humble. ♥️♥️ kindest sweetest RUclipsr ever!!
Your comment about the "Tooth of garlic" made me realize that in Dutch we say a "Toe of garlic"! Love how different languages have these subtle differences
Steve98 I love that!
best schattig
In Portugal we also do say "a tooth of garlic" (translating "um dente de alho"), just like in Spanish :)
In Finland it's "nail of garlic" :D
@@Filipe.PT1726 same here, in Poland :) "ząbek czosnku"
When she mentioned “De mi Rancho a tu Cocina” I almost jumped up and down! I love that channel.
I would LOVE to see a video of Emmy making homemade masa and tortillas. All it takes is corn and pickling lime (plus a cheap mill and some elbow grease)! I was even thinking about it earlier today as my wife and I spent hours (as we say in Spanish) “decapitating” nixtamalized corn for pozole. 😋 ¡Muy buen provecho!
It's been all up in my recommended and listening to her helps my Spanish improve too! She's so wholesome
IKR, this lady popped up out of nowhere and with just a handful of videos went viral. I told my husband we should go to visit his grandma again in Tenexpa, Mexico (an itty bitty town south of Acapulco) and film her cooking. She’s over 100 and cooks the same way as the Rancho Cocina woman.
RIGHT?! I looooove that channel! I’m so excited Emmy found her!!!
Beautiful avatar
yum pizole yum
In Romanian we say “a puppy of garlic” 🤣. Like the big bunch is the mother doggy and she has all the little puppies in a litter.
😍 I love puppies and I love garlic.
😀
"I'm not that talented" says the woman who processed her own fresh clay for a chicken....
right lmao
In Russian, a clove of garlic is also called a tooth. Well, "little tooth" actually. I never thought about it, but yeah, it is kinda cute!
In Turkish too!
In Arabic too, funny how I just realized that now.
In Hebrew as well, it's called a tooth of garlic :)
In German it’s a toe of garlic 😁
In Spanish too
Emmy’s on point pronunciation:
Wig: snatched
Soul: deceased
Corn: fungused
Hotel: Trivago
Delivery : DiGiorono
Teh Mayflower Damn it why didn’t I think of that
Maria: Ave'd
corn: fungased lmaoooo
Hell yes.
I love how Emmy is always respectful of other cultures and really is genuine and tries to learn it and keep the tradition alive. She is one of my favorite youtubers out there and hope she never changes ❤️❤️❤️
I find your accent to be pretty accurate and also endearing.
It sounds like Dona Angela is Emmy's Emmy ("so stinkin' cute!).
What I thought, too!
I even said it out loud “eat the ducky moss” and she hit me with “buen probecho” so stinking cute lol love your videos
And for a dish that seems like it would look just like a "ducky moss" should look lol
I hope you know she doesn't actually say that 😂
@@arianapadilla9351 No, but because that's what it sounds like, its become a tagline. Have you not seen the "Eat The Ducky Moss" merch Emmy released?
@@arianapadilla9351 yeah, it's "eat a ducking mouse"!!! sheesh
@@iLitAfuseiCantStop I've seen it, but I always say the actual phrase with her
When my grandma passed away several years ago, I got her metate that she used to make salsa. I love doña Angela. Her recipes are totally authentic.
De mi Rancho a Tu Cocina. 💕
I’m Mexican and I’ve never had the opportunity to taste huitlacoche but I really want to!
The corn grinder Doña Angela uses is called metate and the action of making tortillas is called tortear! 😁
Also use the salsa verde to make chilaquiles, now I’m hungry lmao.
Me too! (A mexican who's never had Huitlacoche)
I love it. Our local grocery stopped carrying it, which makes me sad. I have to order it online no or make a trip to San Antonio.
That's weird. I can easily get huitlacoche in Sweden..
I'm not a picky eater, but to me it's absolutely vile. Absolutely repulsive
I've had it on one of my trips to Mexico. My aunt prepared with scrambled egg/ breakfast and fresh corn tortillas. Damn that was good. If I had died that day I would have gone to Heaven a happy camper. So good. I don't think I'd buy the can I'll just wait to go to Mexico again. I've asked for it at a Farmers' Market but no one had it.
Wow! I'm mexican and I've heard of Huitlacoche but I haven't tried it. I'm so amazed at Emmy's interest, curiousity, fascination and as a result her knowledge on such interesting content. Thanks Emmy for sharing.
What?? I guess if you live here in the states it hard to get, my mother-in-law always brings fresh up with her from Mexico, it’s amazing. The canned stuff, not so much.
The canned one by Del Monte, if I am not mistaken, is actually pretty good. Buy some queso fresco or Oaxaca, if available. Don’t forget the maseca to make yourself some homemade tortillas, and you are all set 😉
In the center and south of Mexico, quesadillas actually don’t have any cheese, but they make them crispy instead of soft.
Very delicious! We made a yummy taco with our own home-grown huitlacoche.
The way you are so curious, respectful and open minded to other cultures is simply amazing. Love your channel and the way you indirectly teach everyone who watch your videos about other cultures. Greetings from north east Mexico
I always appreciate how much effort you put into respecting other culture's food and languages. Your respect, your research, your efforts are all things I love about you and your channel. Thank you for being a wholesome and awesome person!
My favourite part is every time she works hard to pronounce the food's name in that language right. She has so much respect for other cultures it is very admirable
I absolutely love Huitlacoche. Back in the 70s, when I lived with my Grandparents, we used to pick corn late at night, like 01:00. - 04:00, when my Grandpa was getting ready to go out on a long haul (he was a trucker). I just more recently realized we were probably stealing corn from the field next to his truck yard so we could eat. The corn with the Huitlacoche was heavily prized. I haven't had any since 1983. I've only recently learned that it comes canned. I've been afraid to try it, as I tried canned Tamales once, and it broke my heart. On your next visit to the South West or Mexico, you sgould totally seek out, and try fresh Huitlacoche.
yeah, canned (and vacuum sealed bag) tamales are a cardinal sin
I love De Mi Rancho A Tu Cocina! She's so humble and cute. So nostalgic...
"I am not THAT talented!" sez way talented Emmy!
I love love love Mexican food, spent a lot of time in Mexico eating everything including grasshoppers...but I can not stand huitlacoche.
I ADORE Angela’s channel. She’s great and it helps me learn Spanish.
My two very favourite “food” channels 🥰🥰🥰 i’m upset that she has a molcajete and i don’t and don’t get me started with those beautiful and fresh green tomatoes...😩😩😩.... from a mexican living in Canada 🇲🇽❤️🇨🇦
Simoninpatricia is there a lot of raza living out there?
How's Canada? What part of Canada do u stay in? Is it hard to get good Mexican products there for cooking?
@@mashamendez2012 super 😊 everyone move here quick! En Chinatown encuentras molcajete y todos los ingredientes. Hasta Las patitas de puerco para El pozole 😉
@@anidubidumdum what part you in??
@@mashamendez2012 Ontario 😊
Emmy your pronunciation is so good!!!! I’m always taken aback whenever I hear you pronounce words in languages that are foreign to you, because you do, so your very best to respect the culture, the words, as well as the food. Another great video!
Me and my father-in-law love talking about these recipes that you have to find a specific ingredient for. We really enjoy your videos, and it helps us explore other food channels so we can bond over cooking!
Can't wait to show him this one at Sunday dinner tomorrow!
There's an amazing specialty farm outside of St Louis called Bohlen Farms. They intentionally grow huitlacoche! Maybe I'll send you some fresh next year.
I have folks in Ballwin and Webster Groves. I wonder what area this is.
Good to know, I was just browsing some on Amazon. We accidentally grew it in our urban backyard but we didn't have enough for more than a couple taco.
OMG Doña Ángela is the best! I'm glad she's becoming so popular.
Also, that salsa looks delicious Emmy! Mexican approved, just like my grandma used to make it.
If you enjoyed canned huitlacoche you're going to love it fresh. It still has that slight bitterness to it, but it's so so good.
Your pronunciation is spot i love that
fresh huitlacoche is amazing! the canned version, apart from the tinny aftertaste usually uses a sweeter, yellow corn variety called "dent" (which is the one used to make popcorn kernels) and changes the texture and taste. Fresh huitlacoche usually is found on the _maíz ancho_ and _zapalote / chapalote chico_ varieties, which are more waxy and less starchy, and have flat white grains (think of hominy).
Yeah all the corn smut I have seen are Much larger than what she got. Normally it's about the size of your thumb.
Popcorn and dent corn are not the same thing.

Omggggg I’m in love with that lady too she’s the cutest 😭!!!
Me refreshing my subscription feed: corn WHAT?
When something is good and Emmy scoots the plate just a little closer... "This is mine."
More like "it's dripping everywhere" but I like your version too))
In German a garlic clove is called Knoblauchzehe - garlic toe. :3 And I had Lángos today, so no cravings for garlic and cheese anymore. XD
Love when someone takes the time to say México right. 🥰🇲🇽
I genuinely love when Emmy finds an amazing foodie channel and references them in a video and many of her followers get so excited because they also love that channel. Everyone just gets so happy to share and talk about great content together and it makes me smile.
Thank you always for your great respect for the worlds cultures and cuisine. I always get a little emotional when you feature anything Latin but particularly Mexican. Thank you kindly. And very well done.
I love your Spanish. My friend and I are learning too. Thanks for sharing the link to your source video
I love De Mi Rancho, too! She just came into my radar. Icons recognizing icons!!
Your spanish pronounciation is amazing. Better than many people. Keep up the good work and passion for other cultures. I love your channel!!!
My husband is from a small town in Michoacán Mexico called purepero. De mi rancho a tu cocina and abuelas kitchen have become my go-to channels for making foods he grew up with and loves.
I read the title and my thoughts went somewhere else. Smut isn’t a word I associate with food normally
Why wouldn't you? The word lost its old school meaning like twenty-years ago...
Me too, I'm so immature😂😅😄
I think everyone was lol.
In one of my mushroom guide books, because the huitlecoche fungus is also called "corn smut", they called it "porn on the cob".
Sams
I love Doña Angela! She reminds me so much of my own abuelita, from what I remember of her. The most distinguishable thing that they share, however, is definitely their sense of style haha. My abuelita would have worn everything that Angela does on her videos ESPECIALLY the aprons
I don't know of a single one of your videos that I've missed in at least 3 or 4 years. You feel like family Emmy. Truly, you are a modern day Bob Ross/Mr Rogers/Steve Erwin. You have gotten me through some really tough times, and I just wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope one day I can do something just as meaningful. You are a force for good in this world. Never forget it.
I love the way you explain your recipes. The way you express about other cultures and their dishes, makes me respect you even more. Doña Angela is a very sweet lady, so happy that you gave her credit and recommend her channel!!!
Oh wow. That's so interesting! Nice to see other edible fungi (besides our typical mushrooms) on this channel. Learning something new every day~ 🤗
I'm so glad you made this recommendation. She's wonderful
Omg Emmy!! I'm Mexican and I recently started watching 'De mi Rancho a tu Cocina' she went viral so quickly and you have no idea how excited I got when first of all I saw that you were making an authentic Mexican recipe (that I've never tried because I was raised in the U.S.) but when you started to talk about her channel I freaked out! I knew I loved this channel for a reason lol!
One of the things I like the most about you and your channel is the respect that you have for foreign food, and cultures! Would love for you to visit Mexico!
I hope to visit too. 🙏🏼
This make me so happy it brings so many memories, like when my abuelita used to cook quesadillas for all the family. Also home made tortillas are the best !!!!
Someone saw that and went, "Yeah, that looks like something I should eat."
It sounds like it was more “well I have nothing else I can eat because my entire crop was infected so it’s better than starving...” and then “hey I didn’t get sick and that’s pretty good!”
Famine/hunger is often the answer to the historical question as to "why would someone think to eat that?"
It's amazing how we look at it, and react with slight revulsion due to the way it looks. But it's usually the ugly, gross looking food that's the most delicious.
Chris Blevins yes! Just like stinky tofu, fermented sauces and aged cheese!
I’m Mexican-American so I LOVE when you make/ try Mexican food! Love ya Emmy! :)
As soon as I saw this video pop up, I thought of Dona Angela! She is so incredible and has the same sort of honest sincerity that Miss Emmy has. Love both you ladies!
I remember our corn getting smut when I was a kid, of course then we didn't know it was edible.... So many missed opportunities!!!!!
Wow that's a great memory now! Noiw u have to try, it's actually good! If u like corn, and don't think about it, it's great
Honestly seeing you using the molcajete for your salsa just brought me home. ¡Salud de mi casa a la tuya!
Eso no es un montaje, eso es un mortero, son 2 cosas diferentes
Oh my gosh we have just started watching De mi Rancho a Tu Cocina and we are STOKED that you are into Angela, too! Thank you for making amazing food especially from our friends in Mexico!!!!!!!
Omg. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
This reminds me when I used to visit my grandparents and used to go to the cornfields, and then the season where there was corn everywhere I used to explore it and just admire all that yummy huitlacoche, then grandma used to cook it fresh in different ways.
Comment section is like when the 5th grade teacher says the word "sex" in class.
Yup. 😒🦆
Yeah, problem?
The rest of me may be in my 20’s but my sense of humour is forever 12
And your point, corn smut Emmy eating corn smut, corn smut, corn smut, corn smut, yummy yummy corn smut! What did Emmy have for Breakfast? Delicious Yummy Corn Smut! What did Emmy have for Lunch? Delicious Yummy Corn Smut! What did Emmy have for Dinner? Delicious Yummy Corn Smut! What did Emmy have Desert? Gooey Delicious Yummy Corn Smut! What did Emmy do in her bed? Delicious Yummy gooey stinking Corn Smut!
@@jenc9532 im 33 and still the same so dont worry about it
We walk across the border and there's lots of places we can get this. Love the street tacos.
It made me so emotional how informed and sensitive you are to the authenticity of Mexican Cuisine! Love your videos always so smart, I'm always learning!!
I love your videos and how you always throw in little tidbits of knowledge about what you're making. Also! I love how respectful you are about different cultures! Love your channel!
Ermergerd Emmy’s posting smut!
Lol...
Bwahaha😂
Emmy's pedaling smut!
It's the Mexican truffle.
That would, uh, be peddling, btw.
Thank you so much for the channel recommendation. Just watched her Mole de Rancho con pollo video. I love her. You just want to give her a big hug and sit down and have a coffee with her. Muchas gracias Emmy!
Oh man this stuff is soooo good! Thanks for making and educating more people about it!
You're a fun gal Emmy, another amaizing vid!!
Maure Silverman I see what you did there. lol
your soul is so bright and pure emmy +v+
Emmy, I came across this video just now and I love your appreciation of Mexican culture, your love of the food and Angela! 😍 I’m here for all of it!
Wow, I thought I was the only one that was in love with Dona Angela. She’s amazing and quick. No fancy equipment, or kitchen, just a down to earth beautiful woman making wonderful Mexican dishes! She looks younger than 79 too.
Emmy in Mexico- YES
"Go away fruit fly." LoL My grandparents had huge gardens and grew corn. I remember seeing the black on the top of some of the stalks and was told it was smot or smoot {however it's spelled 🤷}. We never ate it though.
Yeah because not all fungi is huitlacoche, just as she said, here in Mexico it was considered a pest till that glorious point when it was discovered to be harmless and actually quite rich in both flavour and other stuff but not all corn produce the fungi down here, so if I were to guess, maybe the fungi your grandparents had was actually a bad fungi instead of huitlacoche. That's partially one of the reasons of its high price. To be honest, it is a very mexican stuff to eat it since we have tons of different corn like black corn, blue corn, purple corn, etc. So the odds of actually having a beneficial fungi are different to let's say the states where in its majority, you produce sweet yellow corn, who knows maybe the states have another beneficial fungi and you just haven't discovered yet!
@@gwagner1380 they had friends who would take the corn, fungus and all and eat it. They're still around so I'm guessing it was edible, our family just didn't.
@@darniataylor7749 that's nice to hear and wow, so yellow corn is also capable of healthy fungi, that's really nice to hear. Sorry to hear you didn't taste it yourself, if it was some kind of cousin of huitlacoche or actual huitlacoche, it tastes divine! Soup, quesadilla, in salads, etc. It really enhances flavour in many way and as Emmy said, it is quite healthy as well!
@@gwagner1380 maybe it might grow in Texas or california though if I were to guess? Being that they also used to be part of Mexico
it sells for a lot of money too considered a delicacy. what a shame :( but it happens the more you know the better but if you don't now the safer.
I’m here because we just accidentally grew this in our backyard crop of corn and I had no idea what it was! I found out it’s an edible delicacy and then found your video. My kids and I are all excited to try your recipe tomorrow since we have all the ingredients already. You are so pleasant to watch! 😊
Aww Emmy I love this I was waiting for you to try this !! Love it
It's a tooth of garlic in Hebrew as well. I love how different languages evoke such different associations. :-)
I love Emmy's huge mortar & pestle.
Emmy you are rockin' that kitchen, you go girl!! Does my heart good to see someone give my Mexican people, food and culture so much respect!! Keep rockin' Emmy!! Rick from Texas/California!!
Hey thank you for introducing me to De Mi Rancho A Tu Cocina, that lady is awesome and she is killing it on RUclips. It seems like she received her 100k and 1 million subscribers trophies at the same time!!
Yay Emmy, this brought memories of my late abuelita❤👵
"Buen provecho!" Must be Spanish for "eat the ducky moss!"
Ha...it means bon appetite or hope you enjoy your meal
Pretty much.
It actually is :D
Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing, Emmy.
Awwwwwww I'm a fan of Seño Ángela from "De Mi Rancho A Tu Cocina"!!!!! She's so sweet and kind granny and cook amazing!!!!! ♡
Emyly, you should visit Mexico and look for great ingredients. Saludos.
I think there’s a need for the “emmymadeinmexico” channel...
You pronounced everything Perfectly! Your such a genuine nice person Emmy I love your videos!
Omg yasssss
Love grandma Angela and her De Mi Rancho A Tu Cocina channel🧡🧡🧡
Tasty or not you can't convince me that the first person ever who ate that did so willingly. Probably starving to death.
Hattie True Or went a bit nutty.
They probably ate all the mushrooms and herbs they found and where like "that guy ate it and didn't die unlike the one who ate the other thing" and thats how many died from poisonous mushrooms and we got huitlacoche.
@@kittykahdy Or they ate a little bit and didn't get sick so they ate more? XD well at least, that's what they teach to do in a survival situation if you're starving and need to feed off the flora and fauna. Who knows if they did this lol
@@curiousseal2678 Yes, that makes more sense thay gorging on random plants to death
Yeah... kinda unrelated... but my mom and aunts grew up in Mexico and they tell me about a plant that they used to get and the plant would produce some type of "gum" they were so poor that they would take this plant and act like they had chewing gum even though it had no real flavor, but just so they had something to chew.. luckily they weren't starving and their one candy a year was a treat.... hard times..
I want to make a joke using the phrase “Cornhub” but I’m too innocent to do so.
J Sal You don’t have to, we’re already thinking it!
Cornhub, where I get my smutty corn :D
J Sal, i wanna make a comic strip where an animated piece of corn is caught watching, “cornsmut” by his parents and gets embarrassed. Loo
Gobi Vertefeuille fun fact: that exists- I used it in my fungus presentations when I taught 9th grade biology 😂
Omgggggg i just found her channel too and I’m in love 😍 i am so happy you watch her !!
Chica, your Spanish is perfect, you even pronounced huitlacoche, (which is a Nahuatl word) on point, congratulations you are so talented in many ways.
I've just been binging and recommending De mi rancho a tu cocina too! Fandoms collide. :)
Go away fruit flies.
Seriously. My home is being invaded.
This is so interesting!
Tabs the Recluse They’re everywhere, seriously I have them in my home and don’t even have fruit
Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Mist the fruit flies with the alcohol to get rid of them!
I try to wash off the fruits, veggies, and squash I keep out of the fridge. It works to keep horde at bay.
You can keep cups of vinegar around with a 'funnel' of paper over the top to help cut down on them!
@@HappyPatita a few months ago my moms home got Infested with them and she tried everything what ended up working was lily flowers she got for her birthday! Idk if it was a coincidence but she really did try everything from bug zappers to AC vinegar to making sure there was no moisture or fruit out anywhere... but it did work for her. And if it doesnt work they're pretty, cheap and smell amazing so it's worth a try!
I am thinking to myself, who was the person who first saw what was clearly a 'sick' corn and thought "hmmm, I wonder what this tastes like." ... Then again, if blight hit badly enough, people could get desperate enough to try anything AND I wonder if the persons who first tried this were the shamans or healers, who knew that there can be properties worth investigating in plants and oddities and things that were 'ill' but could in their own strangeness offer medicine for other ailments. I'm thinking of the rye fungus that has quite dramatic effects on mental states ... and mushrooms that have been used for all manner of rituals. Who knows. Still, fascinating to me how inventive and creative and DARING people have been over time in trying to make the most of their environment and discovering all manner of important, sometimes life-saving, and often nutritious things along the way. Great video, Emmy! (P.S. It is called a "tooth of garlic" in the Hebrew, too! I wonder how many other languages had noted and used the similarities in shape to 'dentition')
I'm so happy you happened to find Doña Angela channel, by far one of my favorite channels since day one.
Everyone enjoys some good smut
@Aitchtick Hm, not everyone I guess.
@Aitchtick wow you use cool words, so quirky
@Aitchtick calling me pedro is incredibly racist considering I'm spanish
@Aitchtick no worries, I'm not butthurt or anything and you didnt know. Have a good day
I messaged you on Instagram!
Please try rolly pollies! I read that they taste similar to lobster. Rolly pollies are actually not an insect!
Huitlacoches are amazing, my mom found out of them when they lived in Mexico City, and since then we have been eating them. My dads boss grows corn at his Dairy and we are able to get them fresh. They might not look so appetizing, but they’re amazing. A must try if you’re adventurous. Love how people are trying more of our ancestors food and culture. Thank you Emmy for trying our food. 😍😘
Yay! So happy you tried huitclacoche! I love it
Hi - Emmy, I'll have a XL Corn Smut but hold the Corn please. And, also my friends will have the same. Thank you.
Buen provecho you're too cute😭
I agree! Doña Angela is precious. I want to try each of her recipes. Thanks!
My my family is from Michoacan Mexico, and having quesadillas of huitlacoche or flor de calabaza (Squash Blossom) is one of the things that I look forward to the most because my grandmother would make them for me. My grandmother is long gone now, but it's a beloved memory that comes back to me whenever I'm in Mexico. The best places to eat these are at medicados or at road-side stands.
