This soup -- chanterelle mushroom with spinach -- has got to be the least appetizing thing I have contemplated ingesting in a very long time.

The texture goes perfectly with the appearance, and that's NOT a good thing.

It tastes okay... but I am having serious issues getting past the look plus texture for only "okay" taste.

It's like someone scooped up the contents of a shallow pond, heated it, and poured it into a soup container.


Update: I won the battle of wills and ate the soup. Let's say it won't be a repeat purchase. Now for the egg salad sandwich, which should actually be enjoyable experience.

I know, my life is fascinating beyond measure. Let me know if you want more detail on the soup. Hint: the strips of mushroom kinda looked like leeches and that wasn't a happy thing for me.

That sounds vile. I wish I could cook you fresh-picked chanterelles from my chanterelle garden, sauteed lightly in butter with a few leeks and a little cream. They are terrribly delicious, cooked properly. When I was a kid, my mom would do mushroom demonstrations in classrooms. She took kids out hunting and then cooked up some chanterelles that she brought with her (assuming they wouldn't find any near the schoolyard). They were lightly cooked in butter and served on crackers. Mmm. Very yummy.

Respectfully submitted: I'm not sure if the thought of eating the soup or an egg-salad sandwich frightens me more.

No more detail on the soup, but many thanks for offering. You're too kind.

*gags a little at the thought of leeches in pond-scum soup*

Ah yes... Pond scum and Leech soup... I remember that from university. They thought thye were being terribly cordourn Bleu [or is that Cordon Blergh?]. But when it's the only thing left after a long day at the lab when you were too busy to eat lunch...

well lets just say I almost contemplated walking a mile into town to find an all-night kebab place.

I'd almost forgotten what that was like... thanks.
