Mushrooms

Mushrooms constitute one of the greatest flavoring Vegetables known to the scientific cuisiniere. They are used in all manner of sauces, and when veal, game or fish are cooked en braise, or en saute. They are used in matelotes, and in nearly all forms of farcies. The Creoles, like the French, think it a crime to cook this Vegetable in any form that would destroy its own peculiar flavor, or that which it is capable of imparting to the most ordinary dish.
