I'm genuinely horrified!

Ooh, I like boiled mushrooms. I think its because of my upbringing. I am with your OH on this. 😁

You’ve lost your tiny mind too.

Or possibly a Korean wife? Jesus.

Canned mushrooms exist. I imagine boiled mushrooms would be like canned

On the very rare occasion we have domino's, I have double cheese and double mushroom. The kids all call it "sliced slug pizza". They know nothing!

Not a fan of fennel though.

Boiled mushrooms sounds like something you'd use in a Hallowe'en guessing game.

I have never heard of BOILED mushrooms. EW.

As for the Korean pancakes, YUM! I make "Mexican" ones with Corn, Red Peppers, Black Beans, Courgette, Coriander, Paprika, Cumin & Jalopenos (if you like it) and a bit of grated cheese to help hold it all together. Great with some sour cream and sweet chili sauce.

Mushrooms are awesome however they're cooked.
Just give me all the mushrooms.
So I've voted YABU

100% I will only eat raw ones.. Cooked turned my stomach. My family growing up would have fried mushrooms and they always looked liked shriveled up slugs to me. I have only ever been able to eat them sliced up raw or not at all!

And in regards to the original post.. I shouldn't presume.. But if this husband is the husband she has children with.. I am presuming she has known him a while.. Yet your only just finding out now he boils mushrooms? I feel like that's something yourd discover with in the first few months of knowing someone.. Depending how often they eat mushrooms ofcorse..

So my concern is if this is the first time her husband has boiled mushroom and it's not normal for him.. Then maybe he needs keeping a eye on as he might be turning a bit loopy 😂

My OH always grills mushrooms which turns them into shrivelled lumps, yuk!

Sometimes I cook them in a non-stick pan, sliced, with just Worcestershire sauce. No oil or fat. Good few shakes of it. They absorb it all and it's delicious.

@PyongyangKipperbang definitely still a no from me it's the entire taste altogether plus the texture
I chop it really finely and put it in stuff like cottage pie and that's ok

I don't like fennel either or parsley or coriander

I've just checked as I know that years ago you could buy tinned mushrooms (yuk)!

You can still buy tinned whole mushrooms in water and the preparation guidelines say you just pour them into a saucepan and heat them up (so effectively boil them).

When someone says "boiled mushrooms" and another person's reaction is a horrified "YUCK", I just assume it's to do with taste or experience.

I love mushrooms. I eat lots of mushrooms. I have eaten about 12-15 different types of domestically-produced mushrooms.

Some species of mushrooms lend themselves to being eaten raw as a salad component, the 'hero' feature of a salad or just sliced or slivered on their own.

There are a couple of types of mushrooms that enhance flavour and/or texture when they are steamed or boiled.

I oven-bake some mushrooms to sweat the juices in them. I fry mushrooms in butter or oils. Some are salted; some not. Some get a range of condiments; others few or none.

Sometimes I randomly cut (or tear) large mushrooms into rustic-looking chunks for casseroles or stews. Other meals get mushrooms in ultra-thin long slivers.

It all depends!

Now, I have had some people who have describe mushrooms as Satan's preferred poison. People who've sworn off mushrooms as children or youths. And that's what may have happened here.

I'm guessing that many of the commentors have only ever tried one, maybe two, types of mushrooms ever. Maybe they are not adventurous nor curious home chefs.

People are different. Please don't assume.

I microwave button mushrooms, which probably taste much the same as boiled. They are really tasty. Tbh I find the thought of fried mushrooms nicer than the reality.

Cooked celery tastes as different from raw celery as raw cabbage tastes from cooked cabbage.

A lot of the bitter taste that celery has is lost in the cooking process. Great in stews and as a soup.

I wouldn't think of boiling them! Mostly I have them in stews but if I was cooking them to go with something I would probably do them in a pan with some butter and garlic

I mean I don't like celery to start with so applying boiling water to it wasn't improving it!
But yeah just boiled in water

Wow. Genuinely thought boiling in water was the most common way to cook mushrooms. It's how I usually eat mushrooms. Except when I fry them or put them in a stew.
Sometimes I boil chopped mushrooms in with the pasta...
Didn't realise people thought this was odd
You learn something new every day.

My oh did this I asked him what the fuck the smell was it’s like dead body

I boil mine in butter. We'll cook in a pot in butter (cover them with melted butter) Delicious
But plain water is insane

Gently simmered mushrooms taste lovely! They taste of mushroom, not garlic or butter or whatever else....they taste like the thing I like....mushrooms!

Mushrooms are Satan's Own Food in any form, whether raw, cooked, chopped, fried or boiled. So the boiling in itself is fine as far as I'm concerned, makes absolutely no difference!

I love raw mushrooms! And wierdly hate cooked ones 😅

Boiled celery featured in school dinners when I was a child. 🤮
It must have been very cheap I suppose.

Cook mushrooms Greek style.stir whole mushrooms around in a little olive oil. Place on a roasting tin and squeeze lemon juice over all the mushrooms. Cook in oven until cooked.
