Are these the tasty African bush mushrooms or the tasteless ones from the shops
Nalimo Chikolowa. Me, I long for Nshima with Tente, not vama soup ma soup ivi. Since Tente is not found here, I just prefer “Pfifferlinge” which is about next in taste.
@ Nabali Misere from the picture it looks like button mushrooms but what should stop you from trying the recipe with what mushroom is available to you since it just says mushrooms.
Of course they are from the tins and the ideas from the websites, people do not invent anymore but copy from other websites and pretend it is their own new ideas.
I think the biggest question here is whether Kanta is married or not. I would love to know more about her and the mushroom recip.
