And I didn't make up the concept, the Frug did, Jeff Smith often mentioned
which foods go together and which don't... many times he harped on how
seafood, mushrooms, and cheese should never be included in the same dish.
He was very enamoured with the Chinese contribution to cookery, and often
reminded how the Chinese refrained from serving mushrooms with seafood and
didn't include cheese at all... the Chinese prepare a lot of seafood dishes
and use a tremendous quantity and variety of fungi in their dishes but never
with seafood or water fowl... you'll never see the Chinese serve fungi with
duck. I like duck and eat it often, I love 'shrooms... I can see how duck
with mushroom would be TIAD. I really don't care much for mushrooms with
chicken either... mushrooms go best with beef and pork dihes, and of course
go best with vegetable dishes, and go especially well with grains. But
mushrooms don't belong with beans unless they're greenbeans or peas.
Mushrooms don't belong with cooked greens... mushrooms with cooked spinach
is awful but raw mushrooms go well with raw spinach salad, go figure.
