That’s too bad. Is it the texture you don’t like? I know a lot of people don’t like mushrooms. I love them!
A good cream of wild mushroom soup with some crusty bread is one of the best meals on a damp, chilly autumn day! Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the soup! That is just heaven in a bowl!
Me and my SO love a creamy chanterelle sauce to chicken breasts and roasted potatoes. We often add pan fried cremini mushrooms alongside, so darn good!
And in "wild" stews, ie with elk, deer or similar meat, forest mushrooms is a must.
We use mushrooms in other dishes too, but the above are our favorites.
I learned to love them. I always liked the taste so I either mashed them or didn't eat the mushrooms itself in a sauce. With time I learned to like the texture as well.
Except Champignons which I still dislike. They have the worst texture of nearly all food I ever tried.
Honestly, a great deal of that texture can be hidden simply by chopping them small and adding them to meals that have bits of a similar size.
Some homemade vegetarian meat substitutes are mostly lentils and finely chopped mushrooms. I've seen it for a burger, "meatballs", taco filling, and one that I make is a sausage roll - I just use the filling in bread dough.
You can also hide texture by adding them to ground meats that you are using in other things. Sauces also hide texture and you can add them to a variety of soups.
I know, it seems weird. But there are people who don’t eat plants, and people who don’t eat any meat, so not eating any fungus makes about as much sense.
I really don't understand why people would read your comment and recommend you eat mushrooms. I'd suggest smoking them, for a laugh, but geez. When an adult says they don't eat a thing, leave them be.
