[Closed] mushrooms?

So is quorn, but that never stopped Linda.
No, wait, that's not right....

Weight watchers give them zero points so you can eat as much of them as you like.

Nah mushrooms are great!

Portabello with goats cheese grilled on top for me 😛

evil grim things, need to be banished from the earth.

Mushrooms are full of protein and were origonally grown as a meat substitute for the poor folk . quorn is made from a mushroom [ish] culture......

yes she's right, mushrooms have almost zero calorific content.

indeed. But not only is quorn not as tasty as meat, it's not even as tasty as mushroom. Which for a synthetic fungus is an all round fail in my book 😀

is it any good for anything? Perhaps it could be used to make roads or something.

cavity insulation I reckon.

whereas mushrooms are fffffing brill, very versatile and taste great

they are ace......fact.
omletted, or big black greasy ones done with steak and onions.

mmm mmmmm mmmmmmm 8)

And in Morrisons now they have a posh* shroom section with loose portobello, chanterelle, chestnut, shitake and one with a big fat stem I cant remember the name of.

Chopped in to big chunks, fried in butter and a big handful of fresh parsley. Tip over homemade bread toast.

Hey meat-eaters,
My name is Swampy, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, omnivore no-lifes who spend every second of their day eating animal products and denying Gaia. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any mycelium? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because of your own defective palate, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than discussing what German car to buy.
Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the chess team, and chief snuffler on my truffle team. What games do you play, other than “hyperventilate to unidirectional carbon fibre”? I also get straight A’s, and have a banging hot "girlfriend" (She just fruited for me; Shit was SO cash). You are all house-dwellers who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

You appear to possess a large fungus. On your face. 😉

and one with a big fat stem I cant remember the name of.

The name is Lo, Boblo.... 8) 😆

Now this is a coincidence! All my life I have hated mushrooms. Cannot eat the things or anything tasting even mildly of their flavour... yet last night, some fresh pasta I'd bought in Lidls, I didn't notice when I bought it contained mushrooms.. (It was ricotta & porcini mushroom).
I ate the whole packet! Luckily the flavour was mostly ricotta.
Never again though, vile fungus-slug-like-disgustingness.

he seems a fun guy !!!!!

I'm here all week, have you tried the veal ?

Today I am posting as Swampy, above. It doesn't appeal 😉

Single speeder?

i was shocked....is this true?

Yes. 95% water, the rest cellulose.

Bless you, Basil.

I love mushrooms. Must do a mushroom walk this autumn.

Quorn on the other hand, has pretty much nothing to do with mushrooms themselves, but is a soil fungus cultured in large steel tanks, must be the most processed food possible and is truly evil stuff, they aren't allowed to call it a mushroom product.

What happened to puffballs btw? I never knew you could eat them when I was a kid but kicking them was a laugh. I guess they might be near-extinct now thanks to little brats kicking them?

It only helps me spread my seed.

Cheers,
Mr Fun-Ghi

I hate mushrooms. Try as I might, just can't. My dad goes collecting every year, that bit I enjoy. Massive puff balls still grow here in the Cotswolds.

Mushrooms are great. Grilled with some cheese and garlic on the inside 🙂 apparently they're a good source of potassium so not completely useless.
