Chicken and mushroom don't go together...

They don't! Both have a fairly bland flavour...unlike other combinations which work well such as eggs and bacon or vinegar on chips....chicken and mushroom should not be a thing.

AIBU?

Add some cream – another bland thing. Plus salt.Yum.

RainbowMum11 · 06/12/2020 03:43

YABU

Sparklfairy · 06/12/2020 03:45

Add garlic and cream and some cracked black pepper. Definitely a good combo!

DramaAlpaca · 06/12/2020 03:50

You're totally wrong. With the correct seasoning they go together beautifully.

Chicken and cheese now... just eurgh.

It usually helps if you actually season your food, you know.

Yabu. Esp in light of the amazing chicken/mushroom combinations in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese cuisine for example.

Tartyflette · 06/12/2020 04:12

You need to get bloody expensive upmarket chicken..... and the garlic , black pepper etc

orangejuicer · 06/12/2020 04:14

YABU, and I love chicken and cheese too Grin

Monty27 · 06/12/2020 04:14

White sauce with loads of wine and garlic 👍

TheNestedIf · 06/12/2020 04:17

Chicken and mushrooms go together so well they actually make Pot Noodle sort of palatable. YADBU.

joystir59 · 06/12/2020 04:18

Chicken in general is awful. Especially in sandwiches. Chicken sandwiches are not acceptable and chicken and mushroom pies, just yuck!

Tarty I don't need shopping advice! I'll never eat chicken and mushroom..I always buy organic chicken but wouldn't sully it with mushrooms! I do like mushrooms but fried in butter only.

add a bit of leek, perhaps some ham or bacon

IHaveBrilloHair · 06/12/2020 04:39

I think they do, however chocolate and fruit is a revolting combination.

I agree about chocolate and fruit. It should work but doesn't. Skips No thanks! I just avoid it completely!

Love love this combo

Onceuponatimethen · 06/12/2020 05:02

So yabu Grin

wildraisins · 06/12/2020 05:19

It's only bland if you don't cook it properly. Lots of foods are bland on their own, that's why you add seasoning, spices, sides etc :)

twittwootwittwoo · 06/12/2020 05:27

Also chickens on real life will not eat mushrooms, just saying

lopdedop · 06/12/2020 05:31

You are being deliberately provocative.
And you are definitely unreasonable.
It is a tried and tested combination.

grosspointisland · 06/12/2020 05:34

Starting a thread about chicken and mushroom together ffs get a life.

JillofTrades · 06/12/2020 05:38

You can't cook if you cook it and find it still bland.

IHaveBrilloHair · 06/12/2020 05:57

Well that's you told @FortunesFave.
How dare you have food preferences and an opinion!

Zilla1 · 06/12/2020 05:57

I know how to cook and I don't need shopping advice? What other settled certainty do you want to share, OP?

For PPs, what seasoning would you use? Tarragon, thyme or ??
