Substitutes for Mushrooms?
I have family members who are always picking out the mushrooms for any
thing I cook. What is a good substitute when mushrooms are called for in a recipe? Drake |

I suppose that all depends on the recipe. You could just leave them out. Or you could sub in more of whatever other veggies are in there. Or add a little more meat. |

Without knowing the particular recipe all anyone can suggest is ommission and/or wild speculation. Me, I'd force feed.... whaddaya mean you won't eat it... eat every bit or yer gonna sit there till you die. If your husband is bigger than you then withold sex till he eats your 'shroom. hehe Sheldon |

I may have told this story before, about a former coworker who came to work one night in a foul mood. His son worked with us too and spilled the beans about why the old man was in such a snit. It seems that he wife had made Beef Stroganoff for dinner that night. When he went back for his fourth helping, the son tossed a couple of mushrooms on his plate and said "Here, if you like mushrooms so much have some of mine". Mort flipped out. He hates mushrooms. He was angry with his wife for serving him mushrooms because she knows he hates them. That didn't stop him for having three helpings and going back for another. My younger brother used to hate shrimp. I don't think he would even give a try. One evening we went out for Chinese food with some friends and came back with leftovers. He opened up one box and told me I had to try it. It was the most delicious thing he had ever had in his life...... deep fried shrimp. |

It took me many years before I actually tried sushi that I love now and even longer before I tried an uncooked oyster. It's only the price that prevents me from pigging out on oysters too!

No. Not even _I_ would try to sneak in something on someone that did not like it. :-) Altho' mom used to do that to me with bell peppers. <G> -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.

I'm starting to wonder if there's something physical going on with the way someone can hate something, then love it, then hate it. Or if it isn't physical, maybe it is still something beyond our control. I love mushrooms. I order them in restaurants, buy them and cook with them at home, prefer them cooked over raw, and prefer them in some dishes more than others, but overall, I love mushrooms. I also have good manners. I see nothing wrong with refusing a dish if I'm not hungry or don't feel like eating, but picking out an item is pretty bad manners, and I hope I'm better than that. I've also had the flu lately. I'm pretty much over it though I still have a bit of a cough. My strength is coming back. So there it was a week ago when the flu was at its worst. Jim made me chicken soup, a wonderful chicken soup from scratch, a chicken soup with home made broth, onions, celery, carrots, noodles, parsley and ... mushrooms. Don't ask me why, but I couldn't face the mushrooms. Somehow they were the weirdest, wrongest thing you put in chicken soup, and somehow with the way I was feeling, I could see no alternative except to pick them out of the soup. I did so and apologized to Jim every step of the way. He shrugged and told me not to worry about it. Sweetheart that he is, he checked with me about serving the lasagne that we made together a while ago and froze. The lasagne has mushrooms in it. Mushrooms in lasagne made sense to me, just not in chicken soup. Go figure. I was sick, but you'd have to say I was in my right mind, right? Or not? Or there's something physically uncontrollable about picking something out of food? --Lia |

Or if it > isn't physical, maybe it is still something beyond our control. I don't think there is any single factor in our tastes and out likes and dislikes. There is a physical component. Some people can taste litmus paper while others cannot. Some people like salt more than others, and your appreciation of saltiness varies with the amount of salt in your system. Salty things are much tastier on a hot day when you have been sweating and losing salt. Food tastes can be affected by associations. A lot of people won't eat eel and squid because they assume they will be disgusting. Some foods appeal to us more because of happy associations. On the flip side, bad associations can make them lose their appeal. I used to like mussels until the day I came home and found my wife violently ill from mussels she had had for lunch. It reminded me of the time I had a bad case of food poisoning, and I haven't eaten muscles since. |

One day at thrashing (old farm term) the farmer's wife served a lovely venision roast. After dinner Bob commented on how good that roast beef was. Dad mentioned that it was venison and Bob promptly wandered off and was sick. Weird. John Kane, Kingston ON Canada |

I had a female friend who claimed to like to hunt and fish and talked about the great venison they had had. But she didn't like lamb. She said it was gamy. |

At least he changed his mind and decided he liked them. My mom never progressed beyond deep fried. That was what she liked and ordered them when when she could. -- See return address to reply by email |

Some people are just > plain picky. Not liking mushrooms doesn't make one picky. The texture of them is God-awful bad. The flavor is sometimes good, depending on the mushroom we're talking about. kimberly |

It > was the most delicious thing he had ever had in his life...... deep fried > shrimp. I'll try most things at least once. I draw the line at things like tongue or liver. But that being said, no one can "sneak" mushrooms past me. It isn't imaginary. I simply do not like the texture of them, so they're quite obvious to me in a dish. Your post implies that people who don't like a particular food simply *think* they don't like it. That may be true some of the time, but it certainly isn't the case all of the time. By the way, shrimp is another food that I don't eat very often, and not because I find the flavor offensive...like the mushrooms, it's a texture thing. In fact, most of the foods I prefer not to eat, it's more the texture of them that I'm opposed to than it is the flavor. With mushroom, I've been known to puree them if I think the flavor is very necessary...and recently I've found a mushroom base that is pretty good, so I will use that. As long as the rubbery-biting-through-flesh texture is not there, I'm ok. kimberly |
