To Peel Or Not To Peel That Is The Question

[mallyh]

do you peel mushrooms or not ?

[dannyk13]

Most mushrooms yes, apart from Shi-itake & Oyster mushrooms.

[rockyracoon]

God no. I've never peeled a mushroom.

[mallyh]

thanks for your answer ,I always peel ,hubby doesn't, just wondered who is right x

[Mamyalynne]

No, I mainly use button,chestnut or dried porcini.

Never peeled one.

[hc4361]

no

[237SJ]

I do - probably because we always picked our own and they were from fields that had had animals in so the habit has stuck

[mallyh]

oh dear looks like i'm wrong again lol x

[mallyh]

and I pull the stalks out and throw away x

[Mamyalynne]

There's no right or wrong, some peel some don't.

[Voltage]

Nope don't peel and eat the stalks too

[hc4361]

stalks are the best bit

[MallyJ]

I only peel the really big ones.....right or wrong?? All down to individual taste. I would bet his mum didn't peel mushrooms and yours did.

[Mamyalynne]

Do you have much left after all that?

[NoMercy]

No, never peel them or wash them. I simply wipe them with kitchen paper.

[Buenchico]

Until I read this thread it had never even occurred to me that people might peel mushrooms!

[mallyh]

lol his mum was from Yorkshire she wouldn't waste anything .x
