Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 <snip> << Like potatoes, I don't like mushrooms much either. They don't seem like food to me. The taste isn't bad or anything, they just seem weird, that fluffy hollowness to them. I'm ok eating them if I have to or want to, they certainly fit into the raw plant food category. Anyone else not like mushrooms for no better reasson than they just don't seem like food? >> <snip> I must agree! I liked cooked mushrooms (like portabella mushrooms garlic and pine nuts sauteed in sherry and olive oil OR grilled portabella burgers). But, I tried one of Alyissa Cohen's recipes from her DVD -- it was guacamole (which I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE) atop an upturned (and cleaned, of course) portabella mushroom cap. I loved the guac. But, the mushroom part... " fluffy hollowness " is a pretty good description. I'm not sure if it was the texture... the taste... a combination. I sort of had to force myself to eat the whole thing. And then afterward I felt a little " weird. " (Like, almost an upset stomach, but not quite... I figured it might be in my head because I had to talk myself through the eating of the raw mushroom. I don't know for sure. Might still be some latent 'issues' with the whole eating-a-fungus thing.) Anyway,... I LOVE raw potatoes, but only dipped in salt... so, probably not too good for me, eh? <wink> hehe Do also love Jicama, and luckily can get it in my area (surprising, as it's Michigan).
