Fabulous Food: Fungi
Mushrooms. Earthy, elegant, rich, meaty.. Extraordinary. Mushrooms fall into the love/hate category. You either love 'em or... not so much. Kinda like George W, Eminem, country music, and Jim Carey. No middle ground. Regardless of which group you inhabit, mushrooms have long been the subject of great fascination. They are found the world over and date back throughout man's history.
In a Jurassic Park-like moment, a scientist recently found a mushroom encased in tree sap that is many millions of years old. In ancient times, Egyptians were so enamored with mushrooms that they called them sons of gods, sent to earth on bolts of thunder and declared them food fit only for Royalty. No commoner was permitted to touch them, much less eat them. The Romans were obsessed with fungi and passed laws declaring mushrooms as "the food of the Gods."
