It ain't a dinner fad, but it is fast-growing...

At a dinner party to celebrate with some close friends from Conch Republic Seafood Company (new chef, btw) one of the guests uncovered this bon mot, and thinking it was a special dessert dish or a small cake of some sort immediately and graciously immediately re-covered it.

But what it was was a re-discovered little mold society which had sneakily formed on two irresistible and lascivious corn cobs which had inadvertently been "stored" inside and within the little silver service dish. It had been hiding and clandestinely thriving for two weeks!

And it really does look sort of pretty and temptingly tasty, in a fine dining sort of way.

Anyhow, viva la Key West mold spores...because like it or not, they will, they will.
