Errr… Is this allowed to talk about?
It’s weird that the mushrooms apparently just got scraped off and the kids were fine. Because I read in some book once (fictional, about a cult) where they were making amanita tea. Implying stuff leaches out with moisture.
But then other stuff says the death cap poison is not soluble so maybe it’s just the hallucinogens are or the book was wrong. So they could have removed it and been okay because it didn’t permeate the meal?
I have no idea. My interest in mushrooms is from a botanical standpoint and checking them out as a kid. Going down a research rabbit hole out of curiosity. What info is right
also the in-laws started getting sick that day but the kids still ate the beef wellington for dinner the day after?!
I'm interested in this beef Wellington pie. So not a traditional beef Wellington but a pie version. Was it a large pie or individual pies? And if it was a large pie how fucking big was this thing that feed 5 people plus leftovers for the kids plus samples for the cops? Was there more than one pie? So many questions.
I thought about this but more so a silly question of how many mushrooms does it take to make this big meal. Probably enough to reasonably say all the purchased shrooms have been used in cooking and nothing left to test. Also I just looked up a beef Wellington and I didn't know it just looks like a giant sausage roll.
It's a very labour intensive giant sausage roll. You don't use a lot of mushrooms but in a pie who knows. Now she has said that her kids don't eat mushrooms so she scraped them off which tells me it was perhaps a traditional beef Wellington and not a pie because you would "dig them out" if that was the case.
It could all be semantics and technicality. Pies come in all shapes and forms and people make up their own version of a recipe.
A beef Wellington is a sandwich
Me no like these confusing and unappetising foods
