Portobello mushrooms

Post by Jay » 15 Dec 2004, 13:10

I had never heard of these until I went for a Festive Meal with a friend last night at a pizza restaurant uptown. Their festive offering was Pizza Natale, with roast chestnuts and Portobello mushrooms - well, naturally I had it. Very tasty it was too! :thumbleft: :lol: :lol: :lol: I was told the Portobello referred to is in Italy. Maybe we should try growing these mushrooms in Porty, and Carlo's can offer a Porty Pizza!

Bizarrely, the Porty calendar has just landed on my desk through the internal post, too! Although, I think I know which of my colleagues sent it (I don't work at RoS).

Aren't they usually spelled with an "a", though? Everywhere I've seen them they're "Portabello" - which makes no sense, since that would be Portabella mushrooms.

Strictly speaking they are Portabella Mushrooms, I thought you would have known that Bellababe?

Do they still sell Portobello Wine? It was crap but worth it for the label!

Yes Epykat I think so - well Haddows did a couple of months back, don't know if they still do now :) As you say it wasn't very great but a nice touch for a pressie if you're visiting folk who live elsewhere :)
