Poll: Mushrooms

[Pestilence]

Love them.

Anyone remember when Geeza tried to grow his own?

If I ever did like mushrooms, I wouldn't after seeing that.

 

[Gilly]

That's what people are eating when they eat mushrooms.

I have noticed recently people stating that certain things have barely detectable smells and tastes. This is the first time someone has been stupid enough to state this to be true of mushrooms (WTF?) but I've also heard the same of celery, cucumber, etc. It is simply not true. They all stink and are all disgusting.

Nancy!

Raw mushrooms are nice, but they take on a horrible taste when cooked, and are usually really greasy. Horrible.

To people saying mushrooms are slimy, that usually means they're out of date.

Mushrooms offer more than taste. They are loaded with nutrients essential to the human body. They are loaded with phosphorus and selenium, potassium and magnesium, and of course a few antioxidants in some varieties.

The fresh mushroom should truly be a staple of any healthy diet. They are low in the ever present sodium but high in fiber.

The average mushroom contains either no or trace amounts of cholesterol and fat. Vitamin A lingers in mushrooms with a gold or orange hue. The B vitamins in mushrooms are good for natural energies and fighting off infections.

When the mushroom is consumed, it does not present a starch in the body and is easily digested without leaving much more than nutrients in its wake. The mushroom is comprised in weight by about 90% water.

I think I'd rather get my 90% water from a glass of water with the extra 10% thrown in

[A.N.Other]

Mushrooms are awesome. Button mushrooms in a fondue = win. I haven't had a fondue in ages now, how sad

 

[Wyrdo]

Love them.

I was actually going to make a similar thread. It appears Nix is eating tinned, yes, tinned mushrooms. What the hell is going on there? Nix, you skank!

Tinned?! Burn him.

 

[J1234]

I love all types of mushrooms, I will eat them raw or cooked.

 

[JBuk]

I'm not keen on them although I don't mind them in small amounts mixed in with other ingredients

 

[Fubsy]

No, don't like mushrooms at all, as others have said it's mainly the texture of them for me, if one has been snuck into my food, and I eat it, I shudder. I'm fussy with my dfood, but mushrooms are a no for me.
