In Iowa they bread and fry them and I had no idea I grew up eating a true delicacy!There is nothing quite so enchanting, in this state (Michigan) which geologists tell us was carved by retreating, melting glaciers at the end of the last ice age, than to go into the woods, along the Lake Michigan shoreline, find a good lot of these, morel mushrooms, take them home, and pan fry them in a bit of red wine ...
I think that's how my gf does them as well: dip them in egg yolk, lightly breaded with crumbs, and then, with a combination of spices and herbs, pan sear them in just a bit of red wine, for flavor, but at high heat so that the alcohol burns off (after all, wouldn't want to get drunk on (legal) shrooms). You are correct: they are a delicacy, and, to me, are as much fun to find as they are tasty to eat. I hope you find some down there in Iowa, if that is where you presently are, but be careful, as you know, because there are some deadly "false" morels.In Iowa they bread and fry them and I had no idea I grew up eating a true delicacy!
I've never hunted them but that is good to know!!I think that's how my gf does them as well: dip them in egg yolk, lightly breaded with crumbs, and then, with a combination of spices and herbs, pan sear them in just a bit of red wine, for flavor, but at high heat so that the alcohol burns off (after all, wouldn't want to get drunk on (legal) shrooms).

Love incense. Creates a magical atmosphere in any home, can't compare it to those chemical 'refreshers' that are everywhere in stores now.Interesting fact, back in the day each family in different cultures would make their own bukhoor.
Being grateful for everything is essential to enjoying life methinks....thanks @Haich!I keep a prayer journal where I write all my prayers and thoughts. I try to write in it every week and document what I'm thankful for and what I hope to achieve with my small family.
I totally agree! I burn some nearly every day.....Love incense. Creates a magical atmosphere in any home, can't compare it to those chemical 'refreshers' that are everywhere in stores now.
My favorites are sandalwood, patchouli and rose.
