Who knew when we started the mushroom peeling conversation that it would not only be such a huge topic on that thread, but is now over on this one :eek: :rotfl:

I peel. Don't judge me.

Dried onions are used here in soups, stews, sauces etc.

I never knew that you could/would peel a mushroom...I just use a collander and wash vigorously.

I've never peeled one either! I use a damp piece of kitchen roll and wipe them clean, which is how I was taught all those years ago in Home Ec

i believe that mushrooms are porous so would suck up water and not have such a good flavour...i am going to try and wash them the next time i cook something with them in and see if is acceptable

I peel my mushrooms. Find it really therapeutic. Is that sad?
