Morel Mushrooms are too Forking Dirty to Eat!

After only trying to prepare Morel Mushrooms twice I decided they are too Forking dirty for me to ever eat.

A year or so back I had the same exact Forking exsperience I just had this week with Forking Morel Mushrooms. I saw little worms coming out after I washed them. It bothered me.  Not too long after that Chef, TV Personality and Cook Book Author Sara Moulton was accepting Food Related Questions via a Morning Show and I asked her about how do you clean all the worms and stuff out of Morel Mushrooms. Chef Sara said you have to cut them in half and clean them out to see what ‘s in there.  She also said they are so dirty but also are so tasty you just gotta eat them. The Forking Truth!  Not too much latter the Twitter Emeril Lagasse ( I don’t think it really is him and maybe is a paid employee???  Don’t Know!) was taking food related questions and I asked him, how do you clean Morel Mushrooms and he said, “With a Mushroom Brush”.  The Forking Truth!

I decided maybe I just just got some Forking bad ones from AJ’s? I saw some nice looking Morel Mushrooms at the Farmer’s Market and decided to give them another try.

They looked nice but after a day in my Fridg.

I see worms all around the bag. I still try to soak the morels in salt water like you are suppose to do for a day.  A few hours latter they looked like this.

I saw these little white things. Not sure if they are Maggots?

I rinsed them out and then saw another worm coming out and my stomach turned.

I just have to say NO to Morel Mushrooms because they are too FORKING  dirty for me to eat!
