This weekend, a festival celebrating porcini mushrooms of the area, along with other local specialities such as meat, cheese, honey, liquorice and homemade pasta, was held in the tiny town of Oriolo Romano. Although the weather hasn’t cooled off much, it was nice to enjoy these meaty mushrooms in every dish – from fettuccini pasta with ragù sauce and mushrooms to fried mushrooms, veal and mushroom stew, mushroom bruschetta, plus bean and mushroom soup. This year’s festival was a huge success amongst Italians who consider the Porcini mushroom KING in the world of wild, edible mushrooms. Buon appetito!
