These came from a farmers market here in Louisiana. Family fungi is the farm name. A bit pricey at $10 for the ammout you see used in my post. But they sure are tasty. Strong umami flavor that shines through even the bbq sauce. Highly recommend them.Siv said:
Wow, that's cool man! Looks like shreds of pork!
With the high temps dropping below 80° in Louisiana. It's gumbo season! Aheee!! Fresh okra is the main star of my wife's secret okra gumbo recipe. Goes great with potato salad made with homegrown potatoes and fresh yard eggs.
Buffalo ChikN' sandwich. Wing sauce made from my own starfish garlic ghost pepper sauce. Topped with thin sliced yellow starfish pepper and pickles. Plant based Patty is Gardien brand. Served with air fried sweet potato fries dusted with cayenne salt.
Beyond meat burger splashed with Worcestershire and cooked on cast iron. Topped with a local jalapeno and habanero pimento cheese, hatch Chile crisp and BBQ sauce.
Simple breakfast. Morning star "bacon" with toast and grits. What makes it special is that small dollop of relish you see. This is the fieriest of relishes out there containing both death spiral and big black mama. A friend of mine sent me some fresh pods so I threw them into my last batch of relish.
that looks great! We do a similar thing with the pith of Honey mushroom stems.. Love that stuff!
I need to learn how to identify honey mushrooms I'm told they grow wild all around my area
Rough day at work made much better when this is what greets me upon arrival at home. Creole red beans n rice with pickled jalapeno, and beets covered in ghost pepper sauce and cornbread. My wife knows me so well.
Just had an impossible burger at Red Robin. Ordered the new "scorpion" burger sub impossible patty with a side of scorpion sauce for my fries. Flavor was really good. Burger itself was perfect. Sauce was tomato based much like a ketchup. Heat level was only about a strong medium. 5 of 10. Overall was quite pleased with this commercial version of a spicy burger.

Happy New Year's!! Here's my annual black eyed peas and cabbage done in a non traditional manner. Cabbage is simple. Black pepper, garlic and mushroom broth boiled to perfection. The black eyed peas are slow cooked with chipotle and served with brown rice and roasted sweet potatoes. Topped with thin sliced fresh starfish peppers. I'll be eating this for the rest of the day.
Nothing spicy but this was way too good not to show y'all. And I'm pretty proud of this one. mock Japanese style crispy chicken made with Giant blue oyster mushroom fillets. Crispy skin comes from Vietnamese rice wrappers for spring rolls. We tossed it in teriyaki sauce and served it with white rice and veggies.
If you told me that was peking duck...................... (and I used to live in Chinatown).....
Looks Real Good 
That's why I included pictures of the process. The final picture does not look like mushroom at all.
