Flysmallie Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I envy you. Do you ever share/sell? I've been known to share some, BilletHead Yes he has, darn good cheese. But screw all this sharing crap, I want to move in. Is Saturday good for you guys? I don't have much stuff.
BilletHead Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 JDmidwest , I have eaten boletes from a friends white pine grove. Chestnut or granulated bolete is what I came up with. Now he doesn't share them with me. Go figure? Spoondog, These are not really canned but jars were sterilized and contents went in hot but not pressure canned. They sealed but are stored in the fridge like you would make some types of pickles. I mixed hot and sweet peppers and onions in mine. I can copy (wife will) and post but I might suggest getting a copy of one of two books offered by the conservation dept. The recipe for the pickled hens and the hearty hen soup are in these books. "Missouri's wild mushrooms" and Cooking wild in Missouri" Both are worth getting. Ronnie, Can you cook, clean, butcher critters? Oh heck we will let you just photograph our adventures and let you tie flys. Plenty to eat around here and just wait until you see what I stumbled into this morning I'll have to post in in another forum, BilletHead "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

ness Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 That soup looks amazing. What's going on in there? Pickled mushrooms sound weird, but I'm sure not passing judgement. John
BilletHead Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 What's going on in there ness says? I'll tell you that pot of goodness is getting happy with onion, butter, shrooms, dill weed, veggie stock, tamari or soy sauce, Hungarian paprika, flour, milk oh and we did half and half instead of milk so it is better for us , lemon juice and salt and pepper. Oh yea pure goodness. Darned shame Mrs. BilletHead will be late tonight getting her CPR refresher course. I might have to eat soup without her. After eating it I may need CPR, BilletHead "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

jdmidwest Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 How did you fix the boletes? I will try to snap a pic tomorrow and let you gander at them. Fresh ones are coming up after the last rain. Just have to pick them before the neighbor dogs wizz on them.. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
BilletHead Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Just scraped the cap clean and washed up some. A little butter in the skillet and a sauté. Nice nutty flavor I thought. Just had enough for a good tasting. Depending on the reference book you look at some recommend boletes in Mo and some say there are not enough good eaters to mess with. Stay away from red pored or any that stain blue when bruised. Take a test on the toungue, you want no bitter taste.

Leonard Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 You sir... are very mean!! I have yet to find a hen this year.. guess Im walking the woods this weekend The Hearty Hen soup... is very good... we made it last year... 4 times! also Hen goes really well in wild rice soup.... that was really good! http://www.taneycomonights.com
BilletHead Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Thanks Leonard, I think the hen is one of the most versatile mushrooms out there. I have eaten it so many ways. One of the texts I have read says it can be eaten raw in salads. I have munched a time or two on a raw piece. Will be looking again today.
