Gather round Thread⌠for I have a very important question:
Mushrooms (the eating sort). Do you peel or not?

NEVER! Life is too short to peel mushrooms (quote from the Two Fat Ladies who collectively are my spirit animal). Only I think the quote refers to stuffing mushrooms which life is also too short for. The most a mushroom gets from me is a wipe with a damp paper towel, and not always that if they look clean.

I miss those ladies! I loved how they used to cook wearing all those rings on their fingers.

Chop coarsely and then scrape directly into the bin

Wrong. Cook in pan after a steak and make mushroom gravy

I donât even cut them normally. I just read them into chunks đ¤Ł

I support this method

I peel them if Iâm making soup, otherwise no.

I wash and slice a sliver off the bottom of the stalk. Mr P doesnât wash them, only wipes sometimes. Neither of us peel.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨days⊠ago
I thought the standard was to wipe with a damp paper towel

Rehydrate, use the stock, bin the rest
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨days⊠ago
Wash, cut and cook.
Never considered peeling them.

I first encountered this insane practice in The Bear and to date I maintain: WTF?!
I canât imagine ever wanting to peel mushrooms, what a tedious task. Thereâs not mush room left once youâve peeled them anyway. I imagine most of the flavour and nutrients are probably in the skin or some shit anyway. So, no, I do not peel and never will
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨days⊠ago
Haha I was thinking of the Bear as I was chopping - hence the question. I never peel
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨days⊠ago
But I would if Olivia Coleman asked
just_kitten@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨days⊠ago
I wholeheartedly agree with and endorse this exception. I will clean the oily floor of a restaurant kitchen with one single rag and a bucket if Olivia Colman asks me to.
StudChud@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨days⊠ago
Peel them? Thatâs a thing? Lol
I eat them by the punnet like popcorn đ
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨days⊠ago
No way!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨days⊠ago
