Title: What are your thoughts on Mushrooms?
Post by: Viking on March 26, 2014, 04:58:13 PM
Inspired by Meri.

I don't so much hate mushrooms as I hate the mere thought of mushrooms. And by not "so much hating" mushroom I mean I don't actually hate them. Just just hate the idea of mushrooms. They seem to have little to no taste but when I manage to identify their texture in a meal I feel revulsion. Had I not know there were mushrooms in the stew I just ate I would have lived my life without any issue. But, the act of knowing that there are mushrooms in a dish feeds a visceral emotional purely psychological distaste for that dish.

As for onions, really good in soups and broths and stews where the add to the savory/umami'ness of a dish.

Delicious.

Particularly good with steak and on Pizzas.

Also very, very good as a side dish with a  sauce.

Large types stuffed and roasted a particular favourite. :mmm:

But then, what do I know; I think stuffed lamb's hearts are one of the top ten meat dishes in the world but 99% of people seem to find the thought of eating them revolting.

Love em. On pizza, in sauces, and as a side (sautéed with garlic).

I'll occasionally have some grilled mushrooms with steak or pork, though I'm not a big fan.

I had a half Polish, half Italian bunkie in college.  Went to the manse for Thanksgiving, his mom (Italian) made some stuffed mushrooms that I just hoovered up like they were heroin.

Not crack, heroin.

Love them.  Yes, they can be totally tasteless in some dishes, but even then they don't ruin the dish.

I'm not a huge fan of raw mushrooms. I really like them cooked, but don't buy them that much for some reason.  Honestly, it's probably because they aren't really visible in the produce section.  :blush:

Sprouts are what *I* can't stand.

I've been slowly warming up to mushrooms.  They're still very much in the category of "I like them as a topper ONLY" for me- I'm quite the sucker for a mushroom pizza or a burger with sauteed 'shrooms and swiss cheese.  And I have been known to have the VERY occasional portabello steak (fuck Chrome for not recognizing "portabello" as a valid word, BTW).

Other than that, though, I don't touch 'em.

I enjoy nice sauteed mushrooms.  Also good on a salad.

Mean sauteed mushrooms are literally the worst.

Also if you can find them morels are tasty, tasty mushrooms.  I remember as a young boy, I found some at my grandma's house.  She cooked them and they were delicious.

Mushrooms sauteed with garlic and with sour cream alongside a good rare steak - good. They're also necessary for most game dishes in my opinion.
They're not integral to any dish, in my opinion, but make a fine sideshow.

If you don't put them in stuffed mushrooms, I find the final product lacks something.

The food of death. They grow out of poop and their texture makes it clear.
