But I've never made it myself, in any form! It's on my list to experiment with this summer. I can totally understand the texture thing, that's what turned me off to it for a long time.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610986467696682195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602831182821509492.post-70698406609323054962011-07-20T19:05:05.695+01:002011-07-20T19:05:05.695+01:00This must be a family thing because I HATE mushroo...This must be a family thing because I HATE mushrooms. Not so much the smell or taste, but the texture. I. cannot. get. past. the. rubbery-ness. <br /><br />When I'm making homemade spaghetti and it's not to serve guests or anything, I chop up the mushrooms into itty bitty pieces (like the size of chopped garlic) and put them in the sauce that way. Then I still get the flavor that it adds to the sauce, but I don't have to put up with the texture! <br /><br />Also--not a fan of tofu. Maybe I just haven't had it right or something, but again--it's the texture that does it to me!Shirley Shimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123144741958029851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602831182821509492.post-17868019394734962892011-07-20T17:08:34.216+01:002011-07-20T17:08:34.216+01:00Esther,

But I can use your blog for new recipes instead of browsing the www.<br /><br />Now, I've always loved mushrooms, all mushrooms in whatever form they come. However my mushroom used to be cheese - up until I was probably 21 I didn't eat any type of cheese.Ancutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759703835282004441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602831182821509492.post-61886248340928423142011-07-20T16:47:31.670+01:002011-07-20T16:47:31.670+01:00Esther, congrats on the blog!

Honestly, I can't really remember how I came to like them.<br /><br />Now, corn off the cob is my mushroom. I love corn on the cob, but won't eat it any other way--not even at Chipotle:)IF ANIMAL TRAPPED INSIDE...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14070971324662565626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602831182821509492.post-52044374306468688482011-07-20T14:34:27.643+01:002011-07-20T14:34:27.643+01:00@Matthew - yes, I'm excited to make the grille...@Matthew - yes, I'm excited to make the grilled shrimp and grits and maybe, possibly, turn you into a seafood lover<br /><br />@Joanna - I will try out the strudel and let you know how it turns out!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610986467696682195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602831182821509492.post-87980493224525740642011-07-20T14:15:27.567+01:002011-07-20T14:15:27.567+01:00I hated mushrooms until I was in law school.

You should try this mushroom strudel, that I've made many time to rave reviews: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/mushroom-caramelized-shallot-strudel-10000000357646/<br /><br />And my mushrooms (now that I like actual mushrooms) are peppers.
