Looks and sounds delicious.
Where can I find this in the civilised world OP?

Fiddleheads are sorta unknown in America. Not sure if other countries are even aware of them.

I'm excited for Jurassic World too guys

>>6290561
I worked for a chef that loved those things. If I remember correctly you can only get them for like 1 month out of the year. He also loved some crunchy seaweed that he used in salads and just tasted like salt water.

>>6290549
How is the situation with mushroom hunting in your country?

I don't think you can ever go back to your generic Agaricus from the delicious, rich shroomy flavor and texture of amazing forest mushrooms like Armillaria, Lactarius, or even Suillus or Cantharellus. I never could, anyway.

Had to do some little research to find out how this one was spelled. Cupim barbeque, which is basically zebu hump, slowly roasted over a fire.

Had it once when I went to Brazil on vacation. It's quite fatty (and, therefore, tender) and stringy. Sounds weird, but it's quite tasty.

>>6290580
Samphire? They are fairly common as a herb here in Australia.

>>6290605
Tried Chanterelles, sport?

>>6290561
>sorta unknown in America.
Not in the north east. Its not super common, but I've seen them in restaurants, especially in Maine, plenty.

>>6290561
>>6290648
How are those? I wanna try them

>>6290646
Yes, I like to hunt for them because they are 100% devoid of worms and insects, not to mention their spicy flavor.

>>6290651
They're just bitter. Sort of like a bitter, grassy asparagus, maybe with a touch more acid.

I wasn't a fan, but I'm not a huge fan of bitter, crunchy green things.

>>6290795
>like a bitter, grassy asparagus
This is spot on. Also they're slightly toxic, so best not consumed in large quantities.

>>6290646
Chanterelle is the common name for cantharellus.

>>6290605
OP's picture is of armillaria. Armillia mellea. The honey mushroom.

Morel season almost here

Why does America have such boring fruits?
Bananas apples and oranges, wow so much variety, so fresh.
Fuck, like can I get one god damn cherimoya?

>>6291129
Cause all they have in America is apples, oranges, and bananas…

They let you do things on your own? Hm?High functioning autist are you? Momma give you a dollar and drop you off in the parking lot?

>>6290617
That thing's not samphire. Have you seen samphire before?

>>6291161
Literally the fuck are you talking about?
Up your shitty fruit game America.

Bong here struggling to think of things we have that aren't at least infamous.

>>6290561
I had a salad of these in a stuffy restaurant in northern michigan.

peyote

>>6291129
What shithole part of the states do you live in?
My neighbor grows them. I get those all of the time. She calls them soursop or something close that that spelling.
That and I have access to most fruit that are grown globally.
Seriously where are you from? Do you live under a rock?

>>6291129
>never heard of paw paws
they are basically cherimoyas of the southern US. texture's a tad different.

>>6291079
Thanks for the input Attenborough.

>>6290527
Russian currently living in a 3rd world shithole (and no I don't mean Russia) here. They are god-tier and I do think they grow in my country but I refuse to risk poisoning myself for opyata.

The bolettes here are great though.

alot of mushrooms thread on /ck/ right now

>>6291129
>he thinks those bananas were grown in the US

Don't forget to complain about the smug avocado eating cool librul arts hipsters at starbucks, you ignorant rural

>>6290605
>Suillus
>Not Boletus or Xerocomus.
Why even bother with slippery jacks? It's so much work to remove that umbo or else you risk stomach upsets.

sunt tibi suilli; fungos ego sumo boletos

>>6290561
Fuckin love fiddleheads, seared in a little butter, drizzled with some vinegar they're great.

>>6290580
Well the season is a bit stretched out cause of some opening more slowly and they freeze well tho I'd imagine the peak is the time of wide availability to restaurants and stuff.
The fern is actually very widespread and common but there's only a foraging tradition in some areas.
They're pretty easy to grow too, I've wanted to try that japanese thing of hanging moss balls as a planter and ferns are actually the most common plant used for that.

>>6290651
See >>6290795 but when you cook them right they take on a great nuttiness too.

>>6291027
Eh so's rhubarb but that wont stop me.

>>6291167
I think they were referring to the crunchy salty seaweed.

Bongistan here, I have several friends in the US that either haven't heard of or haven't tried baked beans. Are these things really not common over there? We fucking love them.

>>6292644
I'm having them right now, in my army base stew. Shit is based.

>>6292644

"baked beans" are a very common thing in the US, but generally people make them themselves--you know, by baking the beans in the oven.

As far as canned beans go, that brand is not common in the US except in the British import section. However, pic related is very common in the US and tastes nearly identical to Heinz.

Yes, I know it says "pork" on the can, but that's really misleading. There is a tiny little bit of pork in there that's hardly worth mentioning. The beans and sauce are 99% the same as what you posted.

>>6292655
can i get baked beans with kosher pork?

>>6292655
Huh, learn something new each day.
I wish pork and beans was more common over here, I can't get enough of it.

>>6292662

Sure bro. They sell it on February 29. It's right next to the unicorn tears and fairy farts.

>>6292666
>They sell it on February 29

So, uh, every 4 years?

Fe'i Banana

Only found in Molucca to Hawaii, but in this case cloudforest Maui

Less sugar than plantains, orange colored fruit, each bite has a slightly different flavor, very beautiful and wonderful in cooking tostones

>>6292644
Baked beans are pretty big in new england

>>6292123
Edgey

>>6292707
Those look awesome. I want some, dammit.

>>6291027
>rare
>tastes bad
>toxic

So what's the point?

>>6291129
What do these taste like? I've seen them at the store and they're quite expensive, so I don't want to waste money on something I'll end up not liking.

>>6290527
Samphire, rearely seem to see it anywhere outside of the UK and even then it isn't heard of much here unless you shop at the high mid class supermarkets like waitrose - got some hype recently in the UK again as a hipsterish sort of side

It tastes very salty yet fresh and crisp - fucking great with fish

Blue crabs. We have a polar craft and a trot line in my family. We go out every other week during the season and get a bushel or two for big summer crab parties with beer and crabs. If you've never had the chance to try one, put it on your list. It's pure sweetness, saltiness, and savoryness. Wash it down with a nice pale ale.

>>6294707
I want to try those, they sound delicious. I also want to try ramps

>>6294729
You can grow ramps fairly easily

>>6294707
San Fransisco bay area here.
they are sold as sea beans around these parts.

>>6290651
They're ok, but they're toxic if harvested too late in their growth spurt. I personally make it a rule to avoid foods that might cause me to need a kidney transplant. . . .

>>6292276
Why are you not defending the glorious Motherland from fascist Jewish Nazi Europeans? Run get your AK-47 Ivan!

>>6294551
Tastes good when prepared right.
Plenty of foods have minor toxins but aren't an issue because people don't consume them constantly.
It's a local foraging tradition too.

>>6294707
Love those, so refreshing.
It's available outside of the UK but isn't the biggest thing in common cuisine and more often used at fancy places.
In the past it was used in glass production as a natural source of soda thus its other name glasswort.

>>6294865
I saw them in Vancouver as sea asparagus

>>6292146
paw paws are better thought. kind remind me of durian.

>>6291129
hurr durr 'murica got boring froot.
>>6292707

>>6292644
negro you're full of shit. Everybody in the states eats baked beans. wtf?

>>6294718
you better fucking steam those with old bay

>>6291129
When I lived in the midwest I couldn't find these fuckers ANYWHERE, and trust me I looked. I fell in love with cherimoya on a vacation as a teenager. Luckily for me I moved to southern California and we have tons of crazy fruit up in this bitch

>>6292707
had those in Hawaii, can vouch for deliciousness

>>6294729
you're getting close to the season when you can find ramps at stores, they're usually packed in near the leeks and green onions.

>>6296039
molucca to hawaii only includes one US state, and those bananas don't get imported to the US. sadly.

>>6291161
>bananas
>America

Practically every single banana in the country is imported from Latin America where fruit corporations chop people's hands off and whatever.

>>6291181
Fuck I wish these things grew anywhere in America besides the tropical south.

>>6290605
I live in an area of Northern Canada that gets huge, undisturbed forest fires.
The morel picking is unbelievable. People come from all over North America after a fire to pick them.

>>6296211

We use Slap Yo Mamma from New Orleans. It's hotter. It's pretty much Old Bay with more cayenne.

BEST. FRUIT. EVER.

>>6297070
It feels like eating a skinned testicle.

Anyone had stinkbeans? They smell nuttier than your urine after you've ingested asparagus. But it's so savoury with sambal.

>>6297017
Old Bay a shit

>>6294561
They're really sweet an soft. It's has a lot of seeds which are covered in this white "mouse", this white thing is that something you eat.

If you're visiting Canada, try to hit up Montreal and get a poutine. A poutine anywhere outside of Quebec is disgusting

>>6297557
Camu camu. It's from Peru's rainforest. You can find it also at the capital.
Peru's Pinkberry sold this flavor for a while, the description was refreshing and tasteful.

I haven't eaten them in its solid form, i have drinked it as a juice

Also from Peru, aguaymanto or goldenberries

Bitter sweet. I'm not really into them

Potatoe/Egg Bovist
It a big white mushroom that looks like a big egg or football.
These are probably known to some other countries but in germany they get cut into 2cm thick slices and get breaded and then thrown into the pan. Tastes like Schnitzel.
