WOW, thanks for the recipe...saving it to my HD. I have a similar one for crabmeat stuffed mushrooms.

Still can't figure why people are so eager to eat something in the same classification as "athlete's foot" and "jock itch" fungi?
Nutritionly speaking, fungi are at the bottom of the food pyramid, thus contain the least amount of nutrients per volume eatten.
And don't get me started on what shrooms "eat." :)

"Nutritionly speaking, fungi are at the bottom of the food pyramid, thus contain the least amount of nutrients per volume eatten."Anything to make PETA happy...unless they come out with a campaign against the enslavement of eggs to make fake meat.

Seems like a good time of year to do the bump on this one... FYI.

"It has as much to do with mushrooms as you and I have to do with salamanders," said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest. "We all know what a mushroom looks like. This ain't it."
But then again, maybe it is. If it is the right kind of mushroom, by the end of the meal, it will be one of the most marvelous tasting items on the menue. Remember the introduction of Coca-Cola?

Only cockroaches eat fungus! Now pass the mushrooms!

Known as mycoprotein, it is marketed under the trade name Quorn (pronounced kworn) and made into a variety of products, including: Quorn dogs, Quorn bread, Quorn on the cob, sweet Quorn as side dish and Quorn meal among other products for the ever versatile American housewife ;-)

Does it go good with cheese?
To: martin_fierro
FUNGUS. IT'S WHAT'S FOR DINNER. May I suggest that you serve the fungus with a delicious side of skate?
To: turk99
...Michael Jacobson, executive director of the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest...
His group has complained to the FDA about the label, and says the agency should not have approved mycoprotein without requiring more review of its potential to cause allergic reactions, because it has not been consumed in this country before. Do you think if there were allergy problems they'd have got wise to the fact after a decade and a half's consumption in Britain? Sheesh. This guy's just promoting himself and his group, using this as an issue. For real truth in advertising, his group should be named the "Center for Science in Our Own (Pockets') Interest."

Fungus is what gives cheese its varied flavors and bouquet.

The scary sci-fi novel Gateway, which described a dystopic world populated by 30 billion people, had a food source which was something like a fungus grown on oil shale and had to be mined.

Actually while quite toxic the Amanita Muscaria is not to be confused with it's relatives
which ARE extremely deadly,the Virosa,Verna,Phalloides,and Pantherina,
often called by names like "Destroying Angel,Angel of Death,Death Cap".
These are deadly in the extreme and have often been used in assassinations.
Bringing on terrible symptoms only after several hours have passed,
muscle spasms which can break bones and finally liver failure.
The Muscaria is known for it's red cap,and it's association with Birch trees.
Long used as an inebriant on the Russian steppe,
the Muscaria is also thought to have played a part in the Soma Ritual of the Rg Veda.
Enjoy your meal.

Sounds to me like the meat version of those ridiculous non-alcoholic beer products. How do they substitute the fat and blood found in real meat. No thanks, nothing like this fungus will replace the carnivoric bloodlust of eating a juicy steak.
To: Ditter
I am allergic to MSG other flavor enhancers.People are allergic to milk, this is unfortunate, but no reason not to have dairy products. I am fairly sure that there are allergies among some to nearly every item consumed by humans. Folks with allergies should be aware of them, and certainly it should be easily possible to discover their presence in food. This is not a reason not to have these items available for the non-allergic.

I am beginning to believe that we will have to be the death of about 50 turkeys a year, after all. I don't think I want to try barbequing a fungal turkey.Do not think that it is a good idea to barbeque anything which has absolutely no fat. Of course you can grill veggies and suchlike, but you have to add some sort of fat or oils to them.
