I pick a lot of mushrooms up here in the cold north and thought I would share the good ones so you can learn and pick them and die.

Boletus edulis. King of mushrooms. Does not need boiling, fry it like a steak. Tastes like the best meaty mushroom in the world. Hard to find fresh ones, 90% are too old or eaten by bugs.

Gomphidius glutinosus, grows by porcinis, cook it like porcinis, tastes like lemons and soy sauce.

Lactarius deterrimus. Hard to find in good condition. Easy to identify. Delicious nutty flavor.

Chanterelles. Mushrooms for babies but they're good.

Ramaria something, it's one of the good ones. It didn't kill me.

Hydnum repandum. Smells like oranges. Tastes like pork. Plentiful and easy to ID. Best fricking mushroom ever. Needs thorough cooking though.

Cortinarius caperatus. Hard to ID. Amazing fragrance and taste. Deadly doppelgangers. Only for experts like me.

Suillus bovinus. Literally "chewy cow mushroom" in my language. Delicious, good texture, plentiful.

Chanterelle ice cream! Recommended.

Amanita virosa. Delicious white mushroom, tasted mild and nutty. Trashed my liver and kidneys and killed me. Do not eat!!!!

If you need mushroom IDs in Europe, or mushroom recipes in general let me know!!!

I don't know how to make them embed....thank you for clicking.....sorry......

I refuse to make pizza without it from now on

Another Scalfani banger

I'm working on my plating. Food tastes better if you separate the different parts and clean up the plate before you serve it.

I didn't have any ham so I used chicken burgers because I'm

Any other meal prep Sunday dramatards? Made enough pasta for the week, at least to last until Thanksgiving.

The offending post: Little country boy trying his hand. How'd I do with spaghetti and meatballs?:

Frick that fake tilt shift, who thinks it looks good? 75% of the picture is blurred. I also hate the title, but that's not why we're here.

The top comment:

Good but not Italian, we don't put meatballs on spaghetti, that's american [+81]

So you're telling me that in the entire history of the nation of Italy, no one has ever put a meatball on top of spaghetti? [+4]

We first eat pasta, then as the second plate we eat meatballs [+1]#

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. So basically if you have two Italian foods and you eat them separately, it's Italian. But if you put them on the same plate it's not Italian. Like I said, dumbest thing I've ever heard. [+1]

Well my nonna used to make spaghetti and meatballs ...

Death to all nonna-posters

you can do whatever you want with your food, but it's not Italian. [-1]

The gatekeeping in this sub is off the charts. [+1]

Enter /r/iamveryculinary

Did somebody say "gatekeeping" in a food subreddit? /r/iamveryculinary's monitoring dashboard lights up like a Christmas Tree and it gets reposted there: Someone posted meatballs in the Italian sub. The whole thread is bickering and probably unseen gesturing.

As always the comments are full of hilarity, these really are witty redditors:

If an Italian makes a ball out of meat, they die instantly.

No, the spontaneous combustion only happens when the meatballs touch pasta.

Hot take: if we subtract all the dishes that get eliminated by that sub as "not Italian," Italian cuisine would not be voted the most popular cuisine in the world any more

Where would Italian cuisine be without hot pockets and the Little Caesars lunchtime special?

My hot take is that I don't think Italians do themselves any favors by hyping up Authentic Italian Cuisine(tm) so much. I've been to Italy and I was actually mildly disappointed by the food there at first, I think because it was so ridiculously hyped up in my head.

I'd love to see this Redditor's holiday pictures

Wait until you see all the mean comments I get for my perfectly dark and precisely reproducible roux for gumbo. The Cajuns go beserk when I say I made it in the microwave instead of wasting 30 minutes stirring it on the stove like their memaw, lol. This is, of course, after they've tasted it and liked it.

This post is sponsored by this week's anti-gatekeeping campaigner @Not_a_R-slur. I'd like to thank @Lappland for his weeks of dutiful service and I wish him a happy retirement.

Look what happens to sugary drinks if left out for a very long period of time. Gross!

when you Google pollo al mattone her recipe is at the top. I will be using Alice Waters' instead

So one of the major negatives of Singapore is our fricking weather, where a thunderstorm could erupt suddenly on a scorching hot day. That coupled with how everywhere's air-conditioned because frick the heat means that we alternate between hot and cold temperatures the whole day... and I guess I finally succumbed and got the sniffles or covid or something, which was coincidentally after a trip to our fake snow city. Speaking of the fake snow area, how the frick are people able to wear masks outdoors in the cold? It was such a horrible experience, and I can't believe people are actually advocating for it.

Much like in the West, a chicken soup is our go to for comfort food for when we're feeling under the weather, so maybe we're not that different after all. Then again I remember how cordyceps are literally a parasitic fungus that grows on caterpillars as I slurp them down, I guess we might be that different after all... Hmmm yummy

Close enough to the picture I guess...

So dramautists, what's your favourite comfort food? Any unique ones in your culture that people should know about or try?

It's the reddit of words. It's a word said by soy inner city shit libs going to their overpriced cafes that sell shit with "deconstructed" next to them.

It makes me wanna give you a frickin deconstructed headbutt to the frickin skull.

Brunchcels seething.

This is the quintessential Singaporean dish I crave for when I'm in a cold and foreign land

The soup is laden with herbs and spices, and tinges strongly of pepper and garlic to warm your cold, cold heart.

Admittedly I fricked it up and doused a bit too much of dark soy sauce since it's not supposed to be this dark

It's supposed to look something like this on the left in the picture below, but right now mine looks like the Malaysian () variation of the dish which is darker coloured and more herbal tasting and much less peppery. And I feel like an r-slur for peeling 20-30 pieces of garlic after seeing in the picture that it wasn't necessary I was trying to recall if the garlic was peeled or not and I remembered wrongly, I guess it's one of those ingredients you don't really notice since they're not the star of the dish, but yet they're an essential ingredient in making that dish.

It's usually served with dough fritters (top in the picture) and rice, and braised pig trotters (right in the picture) if you're feeling fancy but I didn't want to overeat and also since this was my virgin attempt at the soup which I wanted to focus on. Jk I was lazy

Unlike our Hainanese Chicken Rice or Chilli Crab dishes I'm not too sure if it can be found served in the West, but I've definitely seen outlets that specialise in serving this particular dish around Asia.
