I'm genuinely horrified!

I do most of the cooking at home, which is fine. My husband will do some basic meals, also fine.
Tonight I made some Korean vegetable pancakes that my girls like. Also made some pork.
As my husband doesn't like the pancakes, I asked what veggies he'd like to do for himself.
He proceeded to boil some mushrooms!
I'm genuinely horrified. He said he likes them.
Is this a thing? Do people eat plain boiled mushrooms?
What ways of cooking foods weird you out?

In gravy I could understand but just water? That's wrong.

Woah, woah, woah….boiled in GRAVY???

Boiled? Wtf LTB

I’m sure Chinese food has boiled mushrooms, it’s what gives them the squishy consistency (which I love…might be on my own there!)

SaulHudsonDavidJones · 09/01/2025 22:28

I added mushrooms to a Japanese noodle and veg broth I made tonight. They were lovely.

BitOutOfPractice · 09/01/2025 22:29

Mmmm mushroom slime!

Pointpoint · 09/01/2025 22:29

Your DH could be friends with my friend who eats mushrooms raw as a snack

Rainee123 · 09/01/2025 22:31

I LOVE mushrooms, will put them in most dishes (within reason), but boiled? No chance 🤢

Lifelover16 · 09/01/2025 22:31

Even worse - my MiL used to boil them in milk

I do this. I also like to squirt Gia garlic puree on them. It's probably why I'm single.

He's probably sick of living with a pretentious wife. Just give him egg n chips next time.

Hang on, what?

Endofyear · 09/01/2025 22:37

No idea why anyone would boil mushrooms when you can fry them in butter!

UndergroundOvergroundWomblingFreeby · 09/01/2025 22:39

I hate mushrooms and I don't care if they're fried or boiled.
I have to say boiled mushrooms sounds particularly vile.

Twatty troll.

Needmorelego · 09/01/2025 22:44

If I am boiling pasta I sometimes add a can of mushrooms to cook at the same time.

TheNuthatch · 09/01/2025 22:45

I love love love raw mushrooms. I don't even chop them, just scoff them whole 😂

LegoTherapy · 09/01/2025 22:45

I'm
Going to try the pancakes. But not the mushrooms.

BlueWalker · 09/01/2025 22:46

I love mushrooms in pretty much any form. This thread has reminded me I haven't had boiled mushrooms on toast in ages. They're delicious - boiling them kind of concentrates the mushroom savouriness but you get a lovely almost bursting texture you can't get with fried mushrooms. And you can then add the mushroom water you've drained to a soup or gravy for a major umami punch

TianasBayou · 09/01/2025 22:46

Is this what tinned mushrooms are? Disclaimer: I've never bought them but they put me in mind of an hotel breakfast.

Bojo72 · 09/01/2025 22:47

You obviously have South Korea influence while he prefers North! Pork and fucking boiled mushrooms! Yak!

Pieceofpurplesky · 09/01/2025 22:49

No. Purple. No. Don't .......

Can't help it! He sounds like a fun guy .....

Oh and gross but making those pancakes tomorrow.
