Goose grass greens? Fiddleheads?It amazes me how people indulge in fungus. Is your palette that frugal?And a big bowl of sauteed mushrooms on the side.
3/4 of the delicacies of the world came about when people were starving and had to eat shit that NO HUMAN SHOULD EVER CONSIDER EATING.
When you're poor, you get creative.
I remember when our family seasonally gathered different foods every year. It's almost a lost art now...I remember going into the woods with the entire family to hunt mushrooms, I remember going to the beach to gather smelt by the garbage can full, and going to the estuary as a family to dig clams by the gross, picking blackberries and huckleberries every single year, hunting, fishing, crabbing all year round. People do these things for fun but we did it because if we didn't, our diet was seriously limited.
When you've been eating beans and fry bread for about 3 weeks, mushrooms sound pretty good.
TN would die. LOL
Go for it sounds yummy to me.My wife loves mushrooms. I think I will grill her some soon. Thought about stuffing them with boudain sausage. Yes or no?
The fiddleheads were easy--you've never had them? They're just the new emerging shoots of ferns. As for the goose grass greens, that's what we used to call them, and they got picked down on the marsh by the tidal inlet where the family had a goose blind--which is probably why they were called goose grass. We had 'em as a cooked green like spinach, except it was a long grass not a broad leaf. When I tried to look them up, though, I was getting hits on a lawn weed, and that's not it. Maybe samphire. The lady who used to pick them died, so maybe it's a lost art.Goose grass greens? Fiddleheads?It amazes me how people indulge in fungus.

What the hell are those?
He's right about weeds lol.George Washington Carver, the guy that basically re-invented agriculture says weeds are just flowers in the wrong spot. He didn't say shit about fungus
I love what he said about weeds. I spent years learning to identify common wildflowers and their medicinal uses. However, when I tried letting some grow in my garden, I learned why people kill them. They will take over in a flash and their miserable spawn will haunt you for years.He's right about weeds lol.George Washington Carver, the guy that basically re-invented agriculture says weeds are just flowers in the wrong spot.

I've forgotten almost everything I ever knew about picking mushrooms. We picked chantrelles, and then there were some white ones we picked, and puffballs (before they puff) and morels. But now I'm older, what used to be second nature to me (recognizing the edible from the non edible and knowing where to look) is gone. I used to be able to pick as I strolled along but I don't have that skill anymore, I'd kill someone. Probably me!
I personally am not a fan of morels but my brothers and my ex sister in law made a crapload of money picking them here and there when they were young. Mushroom pickers can make bank around here if they know where to go and when. It's dangerous though, they are crazy and territorial...and now they're competing with the illegals who have inserted themselves nicely into that money earning niche.
Don't they dry out?My wife loves mushrooms. I think I will grill her some soon. Thought about stuffing them with boudain sausage. Yes or no?
He was an amazing man through and through. sickens me he only gets credit for "peanut butter" and he didn't even do that!!!!I love what he said about weeds.

Great little plants, though.

I'm not nuts about fiddleheads--to me they have a funky flavor a little like bitter cabbage. The texture is real interesting though--like curled asparagus stalks not overcooked, is how I'd describe them. Flavor is NOT asparagus, though.

I figured I would toss them in olive oil and melted butter right before grilling.Hell idk it just popped in my head lol. I have never cooked mushrooms.

We primarily slice them and cook them in butter, scattered out in the pan so they brown a little (too crowded and they just get soggy).
They will dry out on the grill, the sausage may help but I would brush or dip them in oil or butter.
Morels we battered and fried.
We ate a lot of morels when my brother was doing his thing, the fridge was full of them.

Fast & hot?
+1 on the corn. Only way to do itMe and grills do NOT get along. I'm nervous of gas, and charcoal is my nemesis. When we used to camp, I always built a wood fire. Used to do great steak, baked potatoes and grilled corn on the cob (peel back the husks to remove the silks and pull the husks back up (you can close them with a twisty tie or string if you need to), soak them in a bucket of water for half an hour or so and then throw them on the grill over the hot fire--the outer husks scorch, but the flavor is so awesome that boiled corn will never seem the same again. I just threw the potatoes in the coals, double wrapped in foil.
Starting the fire for the morning coffee was a pain in the ass on foggy mornings, though.
