Targeting Mushrooms...

[IrezumiKiss]

Like 'em? Hate 'em? Indifferent to 'em?

I like mine best on pizza, in pastas and in salads. Big fan of shiitake and portobello.

If you saute them, use olive oil to avoid trans-fats.

Or as Rob would call them while holding himself out as their defender, "tranny-fats."

I like them so much that I even like canned ones. Sautéed in garlic butter with a little salt is my favorite.

never had canned ones - aren't they a bit slimy or flabby?

garlicky shrooms = to die for

Yes they're slimy and flabby and gross in texture, but I can eat a canfull in a couple mins.

The first time I ever had mushrooms that I liked they were probably bottled but it was at a very nice steakhouse served alongside a prime rib.

My date ordered them and urged me to try them. I loved them. Went home and taught myself how to prepare them using those bottled button mushrooms.

I love all types of them. My fave veg.

Psilocybes are the best.

Avoid fly agaric.

So you bought bottled mushrooms and sautéed them? That's an expensive way to do it.

about the only canned veggies i'll do are plum tomatoes (if i haven't bought passata or have enough fresh toms) and corn niblets. i like a bit of texture to my food, and prefer steamed or fresh veggies most the time. didn't get to eat fresh spinach till i was past 40 because of the canned stuff my mum served once - UGH! i adore fresh spinach!
slimy might make me gag.

I hate canned veggies too! Mushrooms I can do. And pinto beans. None of those greens.

i read that as 'bottled bourbon mushrooms' - i now want to try cooking some with butter and a generous splash of the stuff

we're like twins! twins born to different parents, geographically disparate, separated by many many years, and one of us doesn't shit her pants at a spider's shadow. apart from that we could be identical

ooh, i forgot baked beans - which are haricot, usually, oh! and kidney beans as they save a lot of time soaking and stuff.

Indeed! Like those two kids in The Shining!

Did you ever have 'asparagus rolls'. Canned asparagus, rolled in a slice of thinly sliced white bread. how to ruin one of the best vegetables ever. And to serve it as a part of afternoon tea : doubly insulting. I'm sure it might work as soup though. I think that's part of the trick; to know how to use which preserved vegetables. I quite like some preserved vegetables though. . It's a sort of nursery food thing I think. I think of duck or pork with bottles of peas and carrots for example. Or bottled salisifry for salads, yum. Thinking of the canned mushrooms, I wonder if they were the base for the sort of mushroom salads like mushroom a la greque when they were on salad counters?

never heard of them, but they sound foul. only like them steamed and dipped in melted butter. i even steam frozen peas - they come out so much tastier than if you dump them in water.

maybe, makes sense i guess

As a kid I went mushrooming with my grandparents over the hills in Gloucestershire. It's been so long since I've gathered wild mushrooms that I've forgotten what to look for. I'd probably end up like Clint Eastwood in The Beguiled .

Fouler than foul.

I like frozen peas cooked in a little white wine, just a tiny bit ( essentially steaming in what will be the suace, in a pan in which you have sautéed some Spring onions, and then add some romain lettuce till just wilted. . Then a dash of cream.

Yes, or steam the peas. We don't have peas so very often though.

i really love vegetables. Sigh.

i have to try this

Psilocybes are the best.

Word.

I've always had to dip the psilocybes in peanut butter to get them down. They are chewy bastards.

And hard to come by in my neck of the woods.
