Mushrooms - love 'em or hate 'em

MetalDog

Seeing as there are a few fry - related threads on here, I thought I'd see where people stand on mushrooms.

Personally I can't abide the fuckin things, to me they just taste awful. So does anyone like them or not bothered?

Hate with a passion

My name is URL

I love them

Minstrel27

I despise them.

thehairyelbow

Couldn't live without them. F**k the beans. Evil little orange bastards.
BTW how do you stand on a mushroom?

Da Shins Kelly

Hate so much. The look of them as well as the taste.

Om nom nom nom. Especially the wild Mushrooms from the Polish mountains I get in Goulash. The Italian Porcini mushrooms not so much, but everything else, definitely.

Sergeant

Fantastic things. The wild ones that grow in early august are spectacular. Fried in some butter and thrown up on a slice of brown bread with the juices from the pan.

Shenshen

Mushrooms in sauces, quiches, stir-fries and the like - I absolutely adore them, and mourn the fact that it's so hard to get anything other than button mushrooms in Ireland.

Mushrooms drowned in fat for breakfast - hate them. There are very few more revolting things I've ever come across.

Will we just have one big fúckoff thread "If Obama and the Queen were having a cooked breakfast before the rapture, in town, on O'Connell Street, what would the unemployed black Polish waitress serve them of the ingredients that could make it through the Palestinian blockade?"

I can't choose a poll option,define me! I like the taste but cant stand the texture.

holystungun9

best invention ever! I used to get breakfast rolls in a crappy little petrol station in Blackpool, Cork, and the chicks behind the deli counter, pierced all over their face and rocking prams back an forth as they put the roll together, would ask, 'D'yawant mushrooms in dat Baiiii??'
Fupin' delicious!

All breakfast rolls should have the option of mushrooms as well. Ireland would be better off for it.

As a child I couldn't eat pizza because we got an Apache and the mushrooms on it where cut in half, black and moist, just like a dogs nose, it turned my stomach so much I didnt eat shrooms or pizza for years, now I eat both :cool:

The texture is the thing I can't stand when it comes to mushrooms. The smell and taste aren't much more appealing though.

I thought mushrooms were a love or hate thing- I'm surprised 2 people voted "indifferent".

KnifeWRENCH

They taste ok but the texture is horrible. Like I could drink mushroom soup or eat a mushroom flavoured sauce, but I'd never eat an actual mushroom. They're too.....rubbery or something,

So I'll go with "indifferent" I guess.

I have a similar problem with oranges, peppers and hazelnuts; taste is fine but texture is horrible.

Women who don't like mushrooms are said not to like other things in the gob too :pac:

That sounds like an article in the Oirish Daily Mail . .

Each day we discuss one ingredient.

Will someone just start:

The Great Big After Hours Fry Up Thread!

Include 25 of the most popular ingredients such as: Sausages, Boxty, Tea , Coffee, Black Pudding, White Pudding, Rashers, Toast, Soda Bread, Fried Bread, Maple Syrup covered Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, Poached Eggs, Hash Browns, etc bloody etc - make it multiple choice and public and the top ten ingredients win!!

Then I will open up a cafe in town (haven't decided which one yet) call it The After Hours Cafe and the first ****ing item we will serve with be ten item all day breakfast called: The After Hours Fry Up!

I was the other way around, didn't mind them when I was a kid, I took a turn against them many years ago and now I DESPISE them, absolutely despise them!

Lapin

A fry isn't a fry without mushrooms.

And a dinner isn't a dinner without them.

They go with everything.

Love 'em.

sunflower27

I LOVE them. One of my favourite foods. Just throw them into a pot with butter. Perfect

A few additions. That should cover it.

Mmmm. Mushrooms with garlic butter. *drool*

TaraFoxglove

Love 'em! I was accused of being a picky child when it came to food. Nonsense! I loved mushrooms right from the start when my contemporaries turned their noses up.*


* I assume the OP wasn't asking about hallucinogenics.

Tasty as fook.

Kojak

Love mushrooms - especially when they are done under the grill with a pinch of salt.

Glad to read these posts. I love mushrooms but dislike a few foods solely because of their texture and often get this kind of reaction - :rolleyes: - as if it's not a valid reason. It IS valid, FFS. :mad: /rant

Love 'em. Especially fried in butter.

candy-gal1

Fried mushrooms FTW

or even raw dipped in BBQ sauce!

Doublin

Love 'em

Fried in Butter & some Garlic Puree, or in Soy Sauce!

lalee17

Can't stand them :mad:

hondasam

I like mushrooms.

Aoifey!

I can't really decide if I like mushrooms or not. I like them right before and after you bite into them, but the moment you're actually biting it, it seems...alive or something!

But I do love them in Satay sauce. Mmmmmmm.
