. . . If You Go Down To The Woods Today . . .

. . . I sure was in for a surprise (do you know that song?) Anyhow, here's one I picked earlier LoL! Penny Bun . . . (Birch Bolete Mushroom?) I think that's what they're called, supposedly edible - but would one really want to eat a mushroom that size - you'd gag surely  . . . I'm not responsible for the image - I'm the one holding the mushroom, found in the fields/woods at the end of or our road during late summer - couldn't get over the size!!! No, I didn't cook it - it went in the dustbin . . .



Now, I know I said I wouldn't meantion miniatures - but I just HAVE to make some of these now don't I?

Ostrich Burger . . .

Now many of you may or may not know, that I don't eat 'red meat' . . . so, my husband decided (seeing as I will eat poultry), to serve me up a freshly cooked Ostrich Burger !?! Darn big poultry LoL!

Well, I broke off the tiniest piece; and to tell the truth it wasn't that bad! Bit 'strong' on the flavour, but not wildy overpowering; and slighty 'gamey' to say the least. It was just the thought of eating the poor bird that got to me . . .

Anyhow, I tried and ate and enjoyed! Here it is . . .



Bon Apetit !
