I dislike it even more as an adult, my tastebuds must have evolved to a higher plane of existence.
Do you dislike brussel sprouts as well? As an adult, they have become one of my most favorite vegetables and DD even likes them, and she is picky about which veggies she likes.
I think it's totally ok to just not like something. That is why I don't eat meat. I just don't like it. Ditto mushrooms. I really just do not like them. No matter how amazing any particular recipe is... I just don't like them. Nothing will change that. Although I wouldn't choose to eat them, I will not gag on some of the less fleshy wild type. People are always aghast: you are a vegetarian who doesn't like mushrooms? how can that be?! I have no idea where mushrooms and vegetarians got connected. It's never made any sense to me.
Interesting. They can be very "meaty" so I guess if you are a vegetarian because you don't like meat, it makes perfect sense to also dislike mushrooms. But if you are a vegetarian (for ethical or whatever else reason) but miss meat, you'd want some mushrooms.
I've never understood this. They don't seam "meaty" at all to me. They seem slimy and they taste like dirt. Neither of which I associate with meat. But, I do avoid a lot of meat substitutes for this reason. If they are too meaty, I can't eat them.
BA, how is this going?
Here's something easy and good I made the other day -- I had a pound of sausage (seasoned ground pork, not in links) that was quite spicy. I browned it all, and then added northern white beans and sauteed bok choy. It was really good on its own, DH had some over pasta. So simple, it's not really even a recipe, but it was a good combo of stuff that I had.
Whoever came up with cauliflower rice is absolutely brilliant! I had it with chicken breast today and it was pure heaven. I almost felt guilty eating it. Almost!!!
I'm loving the roasted cauliflower Bonita posted somewhere here in the FF. I make what I think is a big batch, enough for two meals, then it never is! So yummy and better for me than layering it in cheese to give it flavor.
No matter how much I make there is never any left over!
