You wouldn’t be disappointed.

These are something that I MUST forage for myself. When Thea showed me the Alberta Porchini (that’s what I call it – but our official Alberta mushroom from the Porchini family) I was IN. That was last summer at the Greens Eggs and Ham picnic. She then made a fritatta out of them with duck eggs. They had a beautiful texture, but were so delicately flavoured (not anything like the Porchini) that I would call them flavourless. Jack’s Grill also highlighted them at this year’s Slow Food Edmonton Indulgence 2010. There was no flavour then, either. So, I was not interested in foraging for a mushroom that is local, and flavourless. Is that bad? Maybe. I was still THRILLED about the knowledge, and the find, and the tasting experience. But, these LOOK flavourful… well, so did the Alberta Porchini with their beautiful orange caps. How do these taste?
