Yeah hate to say it but wild chanterelles blow cultivated oyster mushrooms out of the water. Mushrooms are my new favorite food! Wow, I never heard those details about the Farber butcher shop. What a huge Thanksgiving. Sounds like you could have used my 26 pound turkey. We’ve got lots of frozen stock and meat to cook with. Ugh turkey liver isn’t good though. I tried to make sauteed liver and onions with ours. Chicken liver (and duck of course) is better.

Laura – Have just caught up on your blog. Sounds like you had quite the Thanksgiving! All the mushroom talk reminded me of when we were in Richmond and we met oyster farmers at Ellwood and Thomson. We bought those mushrooms and they were just fantastic! Cannot even imagine how wonderful your mushrooms were! As for the turkey, it brought back memories of when I was a little girl and I used to spend time visiting my grandparents in Brooklyn, NY where my grandfather was a butcher. I would watch him eviscerate the chickens; the sawdust on the floor and the chickens hanging from the ceiling. Yikes. Glad you enjoyed this experience although I can’t say that I remember enjoying the chickens! We had 22 people for Thanksgiving and I made 2 13-lb. turkeys. It fed us for dinner and two lunches plus we sent home care packages with my mother and Amy. We are back to more normal eating and activities now.
