Hi All

Does anyone have good advice on the best technique to remove those wriggly little critters from the shroom?

I am not too bothered if the odd one gets fried up, extra prtein, but SWMBO, our kids and our guests may get a little perturbed if they discover a little crawly thing!! :D

Cheers all

Give them a squirt from either a tap or hose or alternatively brush them from between the gills with a cut down artists paint brush (hog hair type).

In penny buns (ceps, porchini) you will just come across them as you either slice to prepare or whilst tucking in.

Then collect them together and make a nice tapas dish with some chilli, tomatoes, onions and garlic........
