"Nature alone is antique, and the oldest art a mushroom." -Thomas Carlyle, Sartor Resartus
The refrigerator light goes on...
This mushroom spread is perfect for your next party: the rich umami flavor of the mushrooms is fantastic served with raw or roasted vegetables. Yes, it's good for you and your guests, but who cares? - it's delicious.
The best part is that if you have leftovers after your party (doubtful), the spread is great on sandwiches or on top of roasted fish or chicken.
