Bisbee Gal Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 The labeling on pkg. is no help, bought at Walmart a few days ago. The pics are accurate to color...bronzish grey top with very white stems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx. They certainly are far tastier than the normal oysters seen here, all white, little flavor, IMO. Adding: panfried one for a test. The stems are quite different texture. For today's menu I will saute' tops and maybe play with stems another day---may be fine with longer cooking in a stew or soup??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyjillin Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 As a forager for 'rooms almost all my life, alpha1, has correctly ID'd them. Gotta get me some! I wish these were in Mexico. Biggest ones I ever found in Alberta-ya can bread and fry them like a steak. Yes I also found a 'room called fried chicken right across from my house in Millet. I used to oven and sun dry but then discovered that putting them in freezer for later use was almost as fresh as the day I picked them.

Tingting Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Setas I don't know squat about mushrooms but I buy these all the time at WM and that's what the package says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Setas is Spanish for mushrooms, generally. The ones in your pic are common white oysters. Not much flavor, sadly. The King Trumpet Oyster shrooms in my OP were very flavorful. Not a regular Walmart shopper so no idea if the Kings are available routinely. They were that same brand as in your pic.

Tingting Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Thanks...they sure looked like the smaller ones that I get in a package. Since WM only sells 3 types usually (white, "setas," and cremini with portabellos every so often), I never even thought to check the name. Since I've only heard folks using "champinon" for mushroom in the past, it never dawned on me to look "seta" up to see what they actually were. Lesson learned! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Years ago I bought a pack of shiitakes at Walmart. Like I said I rarely shop there, but it seems they sometimes sell interesting shrooms. fyi, creminis are often called Baby Bellos....they are juvenile portobellos. I have heard (and seen on menus) the terms champinons, setas and hongos to refer to mushrooms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I love mushrooms but hate cleaning and chopping/slicing them. Fiddly. I have started buying the La Huerta frozen ones and they work just fine for spaghetti sauce. Last night, I heated a frozen Red Baron Pepperoni pizza. Took it out of the freezer, put the frozen mushrooms on it along with some finely sliced onion and topped it with shredded Jalapneo Pepper Jack cheese. It was fabulous...for dinner and breakfast this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Commercial Champignon[Agaricus bisporas] 'rooms are the common white or brown[same size] that is the most common for sale here or anywhere for that matter.I tried some of the others at wally and soriana and vendors at a couple markets-not worth it,the champignon has more flavour. They don't need cleaning,ferret.and they easily slice real thin with a sharp knife no chopping involved even if you do small bits. Kids just brought us some Knorr wild mushroom soap mix to which I will add some champignons. I want to get some wild in season like I posted in another thread.

Nope, whenever I was single I treated myself very well on the cooking front.If you don't like yourself enough you won't be prone to like others much either. There are certain dishes that mi esposa doesn't like that I do for myself only still, unless my son is here,like breaded chicken hearts. I am worth the effort!

rafterbr Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 The hearts look very good. My favorite parts of the chickens are fried hearts, gizzards and liver. Many of the quick stops and small grocers sell them to go in Oklahoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a psychologist now? Believe it or not, some people simply dislike cooking. I can think of 100 other things I'd prefer to do than cook.
