Mmmmmm on buttered bread

Just had our little batch of harvested oyster mushrooms on fresh bread at 88.

Melt a knob of butter in a pan, add some garlic and a little squirt of anchovy paste (magic ingredient). Let this froth away for a minute or two and then add harvested mushrooms, toiled over for a month, spraying and talking to and watching. Ok this may work with bought mushrooms too. Also add a bit of thyme with a sprinkle of pepper and just a tad of salt. Cook til mushrooms done. Breathe in that delicious aroma. Just at the end throw in a splash of cream and let that bubble for a minute. Serve on buttered fresh bread, untoasted, and most importantly eat with fingers. Mmmmm...not bad.

Actually I think everything tastes better eaten with your fingers. Fish and chips, cream cakes, pizza, a chicken leg, even a curry with a good supply of chapatis. I seem to have invested and perhaps put in that little bit more effort if I eat with fingers. It's that bit more primitive and you also get to lick them. But shhh.. don't tell the children.
