I didn't know what it was but figured I could look it up.  OMG this is going to be so very good.  So many mushrooms!!!!!!  Have you guys made it yet?

[Mugwump]

not yet....Jan's not big on mushrooms...so I'd make a half/half....

[LizStreithorst]

I adore the lovely little fungi. I wish I could find wild, but the ones at the grocery are good enough.  They give a deep earthy flavor to a dish.

That looks scrumptious!!!!!!

I bought the ingredients for this today.  I had everything but the wine and chicken breasts.  I bought a meat mallet to flaten the breasts with.  I usually do it by pounding them with the side of my butcher knife

I will either make it tomorrow or Monday.  I'll let ya'll know if it's as good as it sounds and looks.

I made a Coq Au Vin for my first inlaws when I was in my 20's.  It was kind of their invitation to our house for a nice meal before we were married   I didn't know that the father didn't like mushrooms or I'd have made something else.  I found out after the fact.  The flavor of the mushrooms was all in the sauce.  All that was left of the muchrooms themselves was devoid of flavor.  My FIL to be raved about the flavor of the sauce but picked out every mushroom he found.  Since then I've wondered if people who don't like mushrooms really don't like their flavor.  I love them.  They are very earthy.

That's a really good point Liz.  I think it has more to do with their texture.  I've watched the grand kids struggle with mushrooms on pizza, but gobble them up when minced in beef stew.

I don't think it's the texture.  Could it be the shape and the color and the fact that they are a fungus?  Surely not. 

Muggers, have you ever tried serving Jan a mushroomy dish with the shrooms taken out?  It would be a fun experiment
