Love them love them love them.  Used to gather them as a kid, and remember bending to pick a huge morel, standing back up, and there was a huge black bull snake right in front of me on a fallen tree.  It scared me to death but I got my morel!

I've been foraging for them the last couple years with no luck. Hopefully this will be the year! I've had lots of luck with ramps. Check out my 5 pound haul here: http://www.livetocookathome.com/2010/04/foraging-for-ramps-ramp-giveaway.html

Oh love spring time!! What a great website! Has a great source of grass fed beef tooo!! Thanks for sharing!

The absolute best way to eat morels is with to lightly flour them before frying...yum!!! It's making me hungry for them right now!

When I was younger I could find morels in the woods nearby my house, but I'm not in an area they're easy to find anymore. Thanks for the idea of going to a gourmet food shop or that website - it will definitely come in handy when I have my annual craving for morels!

 

Brilliant idea for dinner! Thank you ..... This just screams for some really great red meat! and now a great wine to accompany, I'm thinking D2 ~ cab.
cheers Michael,

ohhhhhh and fresh strawberries, honey and balsamic for dessert!

i remember when i was 8 went mushroom hunting with my parents and find the first morel i am in love with it since... 

I'm curious to know why you don't salt them until after.  You don't want to draw the liquid out of them while cooking?  Great info!  I learned a few things.  Thanks.

You had me until "buggy." Ugh, couldn't do it. We even have a backyard vegetable garden. But I let hubby do the dirty work. Then I'll cook! :)

love them... time to get some in the restaurant.  Also just found out that soft shell crabs are ready!  Great time of year on the East Coast... now just waiting for Jersey tomatoes and strawberries!
