bargoo, I cannot fathom those that have no passion for the fungus. It's one of the few things I adore that have minimal calories, are chock full of nutrition, and have a huge range of flavors and textures. Best snack on the planet: Big portobello mushroom cap, spread with some nice pizza sauce, sprinkled with mozzarella, and tucked under the broiler for a few til the cheese is bubbly. MMMMM!!!
Food porn alert for mushroom fans - stop now! Tonight we will see things like Morel bisque with toasted almond crema, spring green salad with roasted garlic-morel dressing, red perch in a morel and cracker crust with morel quinoa, and even chocolate sorbet with candied morels. Entrees will be a choice of Morel Wellington, or braised lamb with a morel brandy sauce. Heaven!
I will go with a clear conscience, and while I will avoid the bread basket and too many glasses of wine, tonight I shall live through my tongue. Tomorrow, back to plan.
