What is Chanterelle Mushroom?

The chanterelle mushroom, scientifically known as Cantharellus, is a wild and enchanting fungus that thrives in forested areas across the globe. Its distinct appearance sets it apart from other mushrooms, with its trumpet-like shape and bright golden or yellow color that seems to glow amidst the forest floor. These captivating attributes make the chanterelle mushroom a sought-after ingredient and a fascinating subject for both culinary exploration and mushroom enthusiasts.

Foraging for chanterelle mushrooms is a rewarding and exciting experience, immersing you in the beauty of nature and unveiling the golden treasures of the forest floor. However, it is crucial to approach mushroom foraging with knowledge and responsibility.

To ensure the sustainability of chanterelle populations, practice selective harvesting. Only mature mushrooms are gathered, leaving smaller or immature specimens to grow and contribute to future generations. Avoid disturbing the mycelium, the underground network responsible for mushroom growth, by using a sharp knife to cut the stem near the base rather than pulling or uprooting the mushroom.

The chanterelle mushroom is a captivating and highly sought-after fungi that has become a culinary delicacy. From its culinary versatility to potential health benefits, the chanterelle mushroom continues to captivate our palates and nourish our bodies. As you embark on your culinary journey with chanterelle mushrooms, remember the importance of proper identification, safe harvesting practices, and responsible consumption.

Itacho Sushi (板长寿司) is currently holding a Premium Hokkaido Scallop Festival with up to 30 per cent off their range of innovative scallop items. As a seafood lover, I can’t afford to miss this chance to savour the shellfishes. Heading to the branch at ION Orchard on a weekday morning to beat the peak lunch time crowd.

Flipping through the online menu via the tablet, I quickly zoomed in to the Scallop Sushi promotion page and started sending the items to the cart. Took a slightly longer time to decide which are the dishes I wanted as they all look equally delectable. In the meantime, scooped out a small spoonful of wasabi and poured soy sauce over it.

Didn’t have to wait for long before the first plate of sushi was served. From the left are two each of Roasted Salmon Skin Soya Sauce (S$1++ each) and Roasted Salmon Skin Soya Sauce with Cod Fish Caviar Mayo (S$1.20++ each) sushi. The salmon sushi were melt in the mouth soft and so yummy. If not because the restaurant limits each customer to just two pieces per type, I would have order it over and over again.

The three scallop sushi on the right side of the plate are Roasted Scallop Sushi (S$3.50++), Roasted Scallop with Black Truffle Sushi (S$3.90++) and Roasted Scallop with Cod Fish Caviar Sushi (S$3.70++). All three of the scallop items were so fresh and sweet tasting just like those I had in Hokkaido. The toppings on the two of the sushi enhanced the overall flavours to raise it up a notch.

The next plate I ordered is the 3 Kinds Scallop Sushi Set (S$5.80++). The scallops are un-torched and came with different toppings of tobiko mayo (seasoned flying fish roe), black truffle (paste form) and lobster salad with avocado. Again the raw scallops were just so yummy and the toppings complemented the whole package.

The last dish to be served is this Baked Scallop Spicy Salmon Mayo Egg with Rice (S$8.40++). A beautiful dish topped with six scallops, an egg and baked till golden brown. The creamy and spicy salmon mayonnaise completely covered the white rice underneath. The oozing egg yolk added a wholesome goodness to the rice dish. Even as I walked to the cashier to pay the bill, I am already planning on the next trip to try out the other dishes on the menu.

Was thinking of FFM, specifically the bit about the island being effectively isolated from the outside world. That means it's entirely possible for different strands of plant life that otherwise went extinct or had evolved different characteristics remain in suspension, only affected by the things Wukong himself brings onto the island.

Pigsy is a food connoisseur. He only uses the freshest ingredients. In Century Egg Au and Slow Boiled, he effectively becomes a parental figure to Wukong. One, who would very much likely make many a trip to FFM to check up on Wukong. Same for TMKATI except Wukong doesn't live in the mountain in that one and therefore there's less reason to visit. Imagine how he'll react when he realizes the mythical island not only has the freshest ingredients but the rarest as well!

Pigsy seeing an isolated island with some very tasty looking rare tree fruits from the view of Sandy's ship, only to learn that it has a impassable magical barrier:

He's ok to let the matter slide... for now. He reasons with himself that whatever is on that island is better off without his mitts on it.

Until he's shaken awake by a very excitable Tang, holding a book on island isolation and evolution, rambling at a mile a minute about how the plant and animal life on the sheltered island has likely evolved completely separate from the outside world, and if this island is part of the fabled lost country of Alolai - then it likely is teeming with wildlife that evolved after the mythical Floods and Burning.

Pigsy, groggy: "Tang... how'd you get in my room???" Tang, highly-caffienated: "I haven't slept in two days!" Sandy, texting: "Is he at your place now?"

Eventually after forcing the scholar to calm down and take a rest before his heart gives out, Pigsy is told something that really tickles his inner connoisseur.

Tang: "Before it was introduced and selectively bred, potatoes could only be encountered in remote areas of the Andes mountains." Pigsy: "And?" Tang: "Imagine if you discovered the next potato." Pigsy: *squeal of intrigue!*

Needless to say, Pigsy has his own Nerd Moment™ the first time he actually touches down on the island and recognises a bunch of rare species.

Pigsy, side-tracked by a tree: "Sweet Chang'e! This is looks like a button mangosteen! I've never heard of them growing this far north! The skin is more red-orange though, maybe it's a branched variety back when the islands were connected to the mainland? Button Mangosteens taste closer to tangerines than their purple cousins, I wonder if that intesifies based on colouration." Sandy, delighted for his friend: "You seem to be having lots of fun!" Pigsy: *nodding happily*

He's equally delighted in the TMKATI au to have "Such a resourceful employee!" when Wukong comes back from his visits to the island bearing gifts. It caught him off guard the first time though.

Wukong: "Hey boss, I got you something." Pigsy, opening a box: "Wu... are these fresh truffles?!" Wukong, wondering if he did something wrong: "Yeah, why? Did I mess up? I overheard you talking about wanting to have enough to experiment with and-" Pigsy: "No no! I'm... I'm so grateful, I don't even know what to say... How did you even afford these?" Wukong, genuine confusion: "Afford? I just gathered a bunch from the lime orchard at home. There's hundreds of these things - I don't like 'em personally cus they taste like dirt to me. I normally just toss them in the hotpot when I run out of the chicken-tasting ones." Pigsy: "Excuse me."

I hc that in the direct aftermath in returning to FFM during the White Bone Spirit chapter of JTTW; Sun Wukong did a lot of gardening and farming in order to ensure that his people would have a sustainable source of food. Probably convinced Zhu Bajie to "show off his super-cool 9-Toothed Rake" to start the farmers off.

He also plants a bunch of super-rare and super-divine plants on the island that he picks up in his travels.

Wukong, chilling on a tree clearly not native to the island: "What? I like using the leaves as nesting material."

And lets not mention the super rare species of animals that managed to survive/escape the Burning.

FFM probably has an undiscovered wild cat or two that Sandy accidentally befriends.

[flygefisk]

man. joked abt raspberry n truffle being long lost sisters and. that doesnt really fit w lore as truff is Considerably older but it would be cute if they were like,, some kind of related. they're probably friends at least anyway- rasp is a chocolatier n truff runs a little cafe out in the orchard (largely for non/semi dragons) so it tracks that they'd collaborate sometimes

A Culinary Journey Through Stockholm: Exploring Rich Flavors in Every Season

Stockholm, the vibrant capital of Sweden, is a city that offers more than just stunning architecture and picturesque waterfronts. For the food enthusiast, Stockholm is a haven of culinary delights waiting to be discovered. A culinary journey as varied as its seasons awaits you in Stockholm, where you can find everything from modern, inventive food to centuries-old, traditional meals.

Seasonal Flavors: A Taste of Stockholm's Weather

Stockholm's weather plays a significant role in shaping its culinary landscape. The city experiences four distinct seasons, each offering a unique bounty of ingredients that inspire chefs and home cooks alike.

Spring (Vår)

As winter recedes, Stockholm awakens with a burst of fresh flavors. Spring brings a sense of renewal, reflected in the dishes that grace tables across the city. Look for dishes featuring the tender, young shoots of asparagus, the first harvests of flavorful wild garlic, and the delicate sweetness of freshly sprouted peas. In restaurants and homes, you might find classics like 'Vårkänslor' (Spring Feelings), a dish celebrating the season with new potatoes, pickled herring, and sour cream.

Summer (Sommar)

Stockholm summers are a time of abundance, with long days that seem to stretch endlessly into twilight. This season brings a bounty of berries—lingonberries, blueberries, and the coveted wild strawberries. These berries find their way into jams, desserts, and savory dishes alike. Seafood shines in the summer, with crayfish parties (kräftskiva) a beloved tradition. Imagine tables filled with boiled crayfish, Västerbotten cheese pie, and crisp, fresh salads.

Autumn (Höst)

As the leaves turn golden and the air becomes crisp, Stockholm's forests offer a treasure trove of mushrooms and game. Chanterelles, porcini, and the elusive 'black gold' of truffles make their way into hearty stews and creamy sauces. Autumn also marks the beginning of the apple and pear season, with orchards heavy with fruit. Indulge in warm apple pie topped with vanilla sauce or explore the savory side with pork dishes accompanied by tart apple compote.

Winter (Vinter)

Winter transforms Stockholm into a winter wonderland, with snow-covered streets and a cozy atmosphere. It's a time for hearty, warming meals that fortify against the cold. Classic dishes like 'Ärtsoppa med Pannkakor' (Pea Soup with Pancakes) are a comforting staple, especially on Thursdays, a tradition dating back to the 15th century. Rich, meaty stews like 'Köttbullar' (Swedish meatballs) served with lingonberry sauce evoke cozy evenings by the fire.

Traditional Staples and Modern Innovation

While exploring Stockholm's culinary landscape, one encounters a blend of tradition and innovation. The city has a deep-rooted respect for its culinary heritage, evident in dishes that have stood the test of time. Yet, Stockholm's chefs are also at the forefront of culinary innovation, constantly pushing boundaries while maintaining a focus on local, seasonal ingredients.

Traditional Dishes:

Smörgåsbord: A quintessential Swedish dining experience, featuring a vast array of dishes from pickled herring to cured meats, cheeses, and savory pies.

Gravlax: This cured salmon dish, typically served with dill and mustard sauce, is a celebration of the city's abundant seafood.

Surströmming: For the adventurous, this fermented herring is a pungent delicacy best experienced outdoors due to its potent aroma.

Modern Takes:

New Nordic Cuisine: Inspired by the principles of using local, sustainable ingredients, this movement has put Stockholm on the global culinary map. Restaurants like the renowned "Fäviken" and "Oaxen Krog" epitomize this ethos.

Foraging Culture: With access to pristine forests and coastline, foraging plays a significant role in Stockholm's cuisine. Chefs and home cooks alike venture into the wild to gather ingredients like wild herbs, berries, and mushrooms, adding a fresh, earthy dimension to their dishes.

Exploring Stockholm's Food Culture

Exploring Stockholm's cuisine goes beyond just tasting the food. It's about immersing oneself in the culture that surrounds it. Visit local markets, such as Östermalms Saluhall or Söderhallarna, where vendors proudly display their fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and seafood. Engage with locals to learn about family recipes passed down through generations, or join in seasonal celebrations like Midsummer, where traditional foods are central to the festivities.

Fika: The Stockholm Art of Coffee Breaks

No exploration of Stockholm's culture would be complete without experiencing 'fika'. More than just a coffee break, fika is a cherished tradition of pausing, savoring a hot beverage (usually coffee or tea), and enjoying a sweet treat. Indulge in cinnamon buns (kanelbullar), cardamom-scented cakes, or almond tarts as you join Stockholmers in this daily ritual of relaxation and socializing.

In conclusion, Stockholm's culinary scene is a tapestry woven with the threads of tradition, innovation, and the rich bounty of its seasons. Whether you're savoring the tangy sweetness of lingonberries in summer or warming up with a steaming bowl of pea soup in winter, every bite tells a story of this beautiful city. So, pack your curiosity and appetite, and embark on a culinary journey through Stockholm—you'll discover a world of flavors waiting to be explored.

Favorites in See’s truffles 🍫, and Angry Orchard Strawberry hard cider 🍺

[greedyapron]

29/11/2023 - Dinner

Surrey Hills Grocer, Ion Orchard

Restaurant charges service charge and GST but it was not reflected in the prices here

🍟 Triple Truffle Fries ($19)

Super truffle-y. Large portion. Fries thickness are pretty good.

🍝 Wagyu Curry Pasta ($28)

Wagyu minced pasta with a hit of curry flavour. Feels like curry rice but pasta form.

🥩 Chimichurri Ribeye Steak ($48)

My end of the steak was kind of tough. It got better towards the middle but for this quality, it's quite overpriced.

🍞 Cereals Crusted French Toast ($24)

Nice crispy cereal crust topped with whipped cream, fruits and rosemary ice cream. Couldn't really taste the rosemary, tastes like vanilla. Texture of the french toast was like a pastry rather than just bread. Perhaps it's worth coming here for the fries and desserts instead.

1 for 1 Cocktails

🍹 Yuzu Make My Heart Mojito ($25)

Black tears white rum, yuzzuya yuzu juice, gula malacca, mint leaves and soda. Good mojito with a nice hit of yuzu. Refreshing but could be a little sweeter.

🍹 Tropical Spritz ($25)

Chamboard Liquor, passionfruit puree, lemon and pineapple juice. Topped with prosecco. Tastes sort of like a mild cough syrup but gets better later on when the passionfruit comes through.

Black Truffle Gold in California

Black truffle gold is a rare and expensive type of mushroom that has been used in cooking and medicine for centuries. Found mostly in the wild, it has been highly sought-after due to its distinctively earthy, nutty and slightly sweet flavor. This luxurious ingredient has long been considered a culinary delicacy, especially in countries such as France and Italy where its popularity dates back hundreds of years.

In recent years, black truffle gold’s popularity has seen an exponential rise among chefs and home cooks alike. As more people have become aware of its value, it has become increasingly sought after by those who appreciate its unique flavor and want to incorporate it into their dishes. From pastas to risottos, black truffle gold can enhance the flavors of various dishes with its distinct taste.

The discovery of this truffle gold deposit has had far-reaching implications, as it not only provided an opportunity for financial gain but also brought attention to the plight of truffles and other underground fungi species that are increasingly becoming threatened. Truffle Gold is highly sought after due to its unique nutty flavor, which makes it ideal for both cooking and medicinal uses. Thanks to advances in technology, finding wild deposits have become much easier than before, giving farms like this Sonoma County one a chance at true financial success.

Joining the craze surrounding black truffle gold doesn’t need to be difficult – whether you’re new to cooking with this ingredient or an experienced gourmand looking for something new – there are plenty of ways for everyone to participate in this exciting trend! Contact us today.

I usually have the dwarves eating lots of root vegetables and drinking goat milk and mead and beer. Hardy crops like beets and kale and hopps and barley are grown in the mountains and foothills and brought into cavernous storerooms where they also brew and refined things. Dwarves probably have a secret system for making beet sugar.

Halflings are more wine folk to me, with outskirt halflings being more the moonshiners. They probably also cultivate orchards and various fruit bearing plants and make fantastic breads with fruit and nuts. Halfling elk butter is a rare delicacy and no one knows how they manage to get the elk to stay still long enough to milk it.

Elves make absinthe and everclear for special occasions (they can ferment and still things for ages) and otherwise subsist almost entirely on aged cheese, figs, honey, brioche bread, and aged meats.

In my mind orcs are more cattle folk and plant either large plains monoculture crops like corn and wheat or have incredibly intricate rotation calendars for soil replenishments. Consequently, they have a rich culture of brewing a wide range of drinks. They probably have food and trade festivals.

I want to say that gnomes are weird. Gnomes eat a lot of raw plants and they probably smoke a lot of meats (small game and probably venison from trapping rather than hunting) and other preserves. Gnomes, after all, have a strong affinity to wood and trees, and a variety of hardwoods are excellent for smoking (especially hardwood shavings from carving). They are probably excellent fungi foragers and are very secretive about where they get special things like truffles and rare shelf fungi. Gnome jams and jellies probably make non gnomes get the flavor sweats from how concentrated they are.

And humans just grow and eat whatever they can wherever they end up. I like ruling that humans are survivalists that thrive through enduring places that not many cultures would end up.

I suppose one of the reasons why this whole “Dwarves don’t ever farm or grow/raise their own food” thing started is because Dwarves are mountain people, and there aren’t real mountains in Britain for reference. Growing up in Germany and first learning about agriculture as a little child, the area that had the overwhelming focus was the Alps… despite living half a country away from said Alps. I forgot most of the details but I’m sure we spent at least half a year learning about cattle and plant industry up in the mountains, and really every mountain region I know of has its own flourishing industry, the exceptions being mountain regions that just don’t have anyone living in them in the first place. So yeah, especially in a possibly volcanic region such as Erebor might be farming would be the obvious thing to do. Also goats are a thing. And livestock gets kept inside during the cold months anyway so there’d be no issue keeping them inside the mountain either. It’s been years and still this “Dwarves don’t provide their own food” makes zero sense to me

Revel in the delights of the Rogue Valley

Revel in the delights of the Rogue Valley

I began falling in love with the Rogue Valley years ago, when I first went to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, then later when I returned to explore Crater Lake National Park and again, to do a multi-day rafting trip down the Rogue River. After my most recent visit, I confess I’m now completely besotted with the place. Salmon Piccata at Pomodori This vibrant Southern Oregon locale has…

Adding S$2 for Green Tea, Salad and Miso Soup was a no-brainer. The greens was crisp and the dressing refreshing for an appetizer.

Bunny turned carnivore today and opted for this animal protein based Foie Gras Truffle Yakiniku which smell real good. Pan-seared foie gras, US black angus short rib, onsen egg, truffle soy, black garlic brown butter over mixed rice. So sinfully good and yummy delicious. The three slices of pickled daikon is to remind her she is still a bunny no matter what she eats. :D
