Stuffed Mushroom Day

    February 4 is Stuffed Mushroom Day. Also known as National Stuffed Mushroom Day, this made-up holiday clearly encourages people to make and consume lots and lots of stuffed mushrooms.

     A popular party dish, stuffed mushrooms are made by removing the stems and stuffing the resulting hollow space with meat and vegetable filling. Stuffed mushrooms are usually savory and are typically sprinkled with breadcrumbs and cheese and baked before being served.

  While mushrooms are botanically neither fruits or vegetables, in many parts of the world, they are considered safe for vegetarians to consume and are often considered to be a meat substitute.

What To Do

• Make a huge batch of stuffed mushrooms and have them for all your meals of the day. Start will egg and bacon stuffed mushrooms for breakfast, have sausage stuffed mushrooms for lunch, and end the day with sweet potato and parmesan stuffed mushrooms.
• Host a stuffed mushrooms party. Have your guests bring their favorite stuffed mushrooms to share.

FYI…

Person or an animal who eats mushrooms and fungi for nutrition is called a mycophagist?
