Foods I first tried in 2018

As usual, this is ingredients rather than preparations:

I tried two new vegetables this year. Huitlacoche is an edible fungus which grows on maize plants; I had it in a quesadilla, with a very bland cheese. I liked it a lot when the dish was first put in front of me, hot, but less so after it cooled off. (Tenoch serves large quesadillas.)

Koori squash is a small orange winter squash; based on one sample, I prefer acorn or butternut squash and probably won't get koori again if one of the others looks good.

(I also got to try four new-to-me varieties of apple.)
