The Angel (my son) can't stand the feel of standard baby button mushrooms in his mouth (even the most delicious a la Grecque); another friend recoils at Okra (lady fingers) as soon as one hits his tongue. And even I, and I eat virtually anything, have a gag reflex: What's that stuff called, forgotten now, that looks as translucent as frogs' eyes,only white? Oh my god. It's slime at its worst.<br /><br />UAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-82244255538445562016-05-30T12:23:03.215+01:002016-05-30T12:23:03.215+01:00I've just come back with a slightly better hau...I've just come back with a slightly better haul.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-41310540268210097862016-05-30T12:22:39.516+01:002016-05-30T12:22:39.516+01:00I cannot imagine not liking mushrooms.
