Puffballs

[Greenfield Bob]

Do you guys in the UK have Puffballs (mushrooms) and if so have you eaten them?

If you downl^Z^Z^Z^Z^Z buy a copy of the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall River Cottage series, in one episode they cook a huge puffball.

Try slicing about half inch thick, dip in beaten egg and cover in breadcrumbs, then shallow or deep fry for a few minutes, serve with an egg or two on top, fried or poached, and a bit of crispy bacon on the side. Should be good!

Cheers, Paul.

Bob,

They are rather tasty but also I find them quite rich. Couldn't eat more than one large slice. Very good in an omelette too.
