Mountain and Sea Fall Special


Visited my mushroom picker in Granville Island and picked up three kinds of fresh mushroom--yellow chanterelle, slippery Jack and hawk's wings.  One of the best way to eat wild mushroom is rice, risotto is one.  The rice takes up the flavour of the mushroom wonderfully.  The fish is coho, marinated in water, salt, sugar, soy sauce and maple syrup.  It is seared quickly and the skin is crisped up along side.  The combination doesn't work so well together.  The fish crashing a bit with the risotto.  I should have eaten them separately.  Two perfectly good things don't always come together well. Things are like that sometimes, aren't they?

they definitely are. another such combination that clashes in my opinion: chocolate and bacon. i tried it and found it wanting, or actually, not wanting enough.

I have had chocolate coated potato chips, who is to say there is no chocolate coated bacon being sold somewhere out there. Probably good as dessert following deep fried butter.
