King Oyster Mushrooms (aka Eryngii), that have meaty texture, are suitable for crumbed fries. As King Oyster Mushrooms don’t have strong smell or taste, these crumbed fries can be enjoyed with different flavoured sauces. I found my ‘Curry Ketchup Sauce’ was good. Mexican Salsa and Italian Tomato Sauce were also good. What sauce would you like to eat with?
