[@PolishAndPoly]

I haven’t watched your channel in awhile (I mean years) and I come back and it’s entirely “different” and whimsical and, well it’s always been whimsical and beautiful in a sense but this is… truly, beautiful. Thank you for making me smile for the first time today. Also? I knew what it really was, even after all these years your cooking skills are still unmatched. 😊 Much love.

I love that you said not to take everything when going to forage. 💚 Nothing will grow next year if we take it all. Also, our animal friends in the woods need what's growing there to survive, whereas for us it is just a luxury. 😘

As a austrian myself I suggest you try the Schnitzel next time with lingonberry jam or if you don't have that cranberry jam.

In Poland we also have chicken mushrooms, but they don't grow on trees. They are smaller and we call them small chicken - kurka (plural - kurki), or pieprznik. I use them to make sauce for potatoes. I stew kurki with onion and smoked tofu in a pan. Then I add sour cream and lots of fresh dill ♥ Damn, I'm really hungry now 🤤

[@StrikeValkyrie]

A couple of years ago my wife found and harvested some Chicken of the Woods. I've been vegan for about a decade now but had certainly eaten my share of KFC in the past. She made KFC Secret Recipe Fried Chicken with Chicken of the Woods and it was hands down the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life. Some workers were around our house at the time and she gave some of them the fried Chicken of the Woods to try and most of them couldn't believe it wasn't chicken. Someone needs to grow this stuff in a controlled environment for mass consumption because it really is fantastic. We see it a lot where we live but you have to be careful and make sure it's not infested, rotten, or otherwise degraded. Usually if it's high up and light in color it's okay to collect up and use. Great video and, yes, you did scare the crap out of me for just a second.

[@mnoir8888]

You bring a smile to my lips and inspiration to my heart. Thanks for all you do.

[@kaiagoodwin4229]

Thank you so much for all of your videos! I think I found your channel in 2020 (not exactly sure)? But as a try-all omnivore (I've been vegan, raw vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, you name it), I've been overjoyed with your journey of vegan exploration. You always find something new to do and explore in your craft/ artistry. You can also make a lovely, vegan, chicken fettuccini with these mushrooms full of protein and flavor. Coconut cream is a brilliant base for bringing out the hint of sweetness and garlic-umami in the sauce when you add a kiss of lemon juice (and a teeny bit of sumac and nutmeg) to the garlic sauce. It's delectable! Cheers to you and all you do!

FYI you can pick it all and not harm the fungi. What you see is the fruiting body of the fungi. Essentially it’s like picking the apple off the apple tree.

[@GreenWitch1]

I would never take it all! That’s just pure greed. Paul Stamets would disagree with you.

[@jadeinamorata]

@@GreenWitch1 Depends on the situation and area… for example, private vs public land….Perhaps some really need that extra food….Sometimes you come back to check on what you’ve left only to find it rotting…. To say it’s “pure greed” is very black & white thinking.

Herb sauces go wonderfully with Schnitzel. I come from Frankfurt, Germany, and there is a local dish called Frankfurter Schnitzel. It is a Schnitzel served with Frankfurter Green Sauce, which consists of yogurt and sour cream and large amounts of herbs: chives, parsley, chervil, cress, sorrel, borage, tarragon, dill, and savory. I have often made this dish vegan myself, and I think you would really like Green Sauce! Love your recipes! Greetings from Frankfurt
