Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Little Mermaid,

Ce que je me souviens (si je retenais tout ce que je lis, je pourrais écrire une encyclopédie). C'est que dans certaines régions d'Europe (Allemagne et Suisse en particulier ?), il y a des écureuils qui mangent beaucoup de champignons. Et entre ce qu'ils stockent et leurs déjections, ça favorise la propagation des spores.

Concernant les champignons comestibles pour les humains, en France, dans toutes les pharmacies on peut demander ! Il suffit de montrer son panier, et ils nous disent ceux qui sont bons à manger, et ceux qu'il faut jeter. Et il n'y a que si je prépare une omelette aux cèpes, que je n'irais pas demander.
----------
What I remember (if I kept everything I read, I could write an encyclopedia). Is it that in some parts of Europe (Germany and Switzerland in particular?), There are squirrels that eat a lot of mushrooms. And between what they store and their droppings, it promotes the spread of spores.

Concerning edible mushrooms for humans, in France, in all the pharmacies one can ask! Just show his basket (bag ?), and they tell us which ones are good to eat, and which ones to throw away. And only if I prepare an omelet with porcini mushrooms would I not go and ask.

BladeD,

Congratulations, Knight of Rosie !

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

You’re welcome, BladeD, it’s well deserved.
stefada, that’s a wonderful business plan your pharmacies have developed in France.
And altruistic as well.
One would think they could get a better profit selling antidotes …
Do you get the evaluation of your ’harvest’ for free?

Good Morning Base Campers!
Business
SNURK and friends is awaiting the participation in the THOR Challenge 2018 Y3-W1 starting September 24.
It’s an impressive list so in the meantime we intend to man up the best we have learned
and already today we have a new member whom we hope will stay with SNURK and friends after
Base Camp’s GRAND GALLA SNURK CELEBRATION trek is over.

to BobMcGee
You have already earned the badge for this trek biggrin whether you feel like Base Camping or not.
Sometimes we force those badges on crunchers laughing

Chit-chat
Busy day. I’ll see my blood doctor, go mushroom hunting in the rain
and proceed to wash my car ’Rosie’ for waxing tomorrow so she is shiny when I go to Copenhagen
to view our Queen Margrethe II leave her royal ship ’Dannebrog’ to be freighted on shore to her castle by a chalup
Expect my posts to be few and far between … sad
EDIT: How will you cope with hurricane Florence in NC, BladeD?

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

LM - Weather alert says we won't be impacted until Friday evening. I'm 200+ miles inland. In fact, I'm closer to Myrtle Beach SC than I am to Virginia Beach VA. A lot of people around here are losing their mind. You'ld think we've never had a hurricane come through before. They're acting as if we were right on the coast. Guess we'll see how it plays out.
At least I got the new roof on the project house before this as the old one had developed a bad leak.

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Little Mermaid,

C'est gratuit oui ! La seule chose, c'est que si il y a beaucoup de clients, on va sûrement nous demander d'attendre pour les servir en premier. Que ça prend du temps d'examiner les champignons un par un.

En fait, je n'y avais jamais réfléchit avant, que j'ai toujours vu ça, et partout où j'ai été en France (Bretagne - Sud Ouest - Alsace) : Quand on a fini la cueillette des champignons, on va à la pharmacie vérifier qu'ils sont tous bons (sauf si on est avec quelqu'un qui connaît vraiment bien). Je ne sais pas d'où ça vient. Peut-être que traditionnellement le pharmacien est celui qui s'y connaît le plus en médecine, donc c'est à lui qu'on va demander, qu'on ne va quand même pas déranger le médecin pour ça ? Peut-être que tout simplement, qu'aller ramasser des champignons ça se fait beaucoup en France, et que sans ça on aurait des épidémies d’empoisonnements ? En général, c'est l'occasion de faire une balade à plusieurs, et ensuite de partager un bon repas et la récolte. Par exemple : La dernière fois que j'y ai été, à deux en une heure, on avait ramassé un peu plus de 5Kg (un bon coin) ... Autant dire qu'on en a donné et fait une 'monstrueuse' omelette aux cèpes pour 8 (vous amenez la bouteille de rouge les copains, on a des champignons frais et des œufs fermiers).

En tous cas, c'est super pratique. Je m'en sers surtout pour les girolles. Dans la région, il y a un cousin de ce champignon, qui lui ressemble comme deux gouttes d'eau, mais avec lequel on attrape une indigestion carabinée (pas mortel donc, mais très désagréable). J'ai déjà du tout jeter, que je n'en avais pas un seul de bon. Mais c'est toujours mieux qu'être malade. Et si je ne dis pas de bêtise, pas une fois il n'y en pas eu au moins quelques-uns qu'il ne fallait pas manger.

Bref ! Je crois que c'est plus une tradition, qu'un 'service obligatoire' dans une pharmacie. Mais si vous passez en France, et que lors d'une balade vous tombez sur un coin à champignons : Profitez-en, maintenant que vous le savez ! C'est tellement sympa de manger des produits frais qu'on a cueillit soi même, et c'est encore mieux si il n'y a aucun risque.
----------
It's free yes! The only thing is that if there are a lot of customers, we will surely ask us to wait to serve them first. It takes time to examine the mushrooms one by one.

In fact, I never thought about it before, that I always saw it, and everywhere I went in France (Brittany - South West - Alsace): When we finished mushroom picking, we go to the pharmacy check that they are all good (unless you are with someone who knows really well). I do not know where it comes from. Perhaps the pharmacist is the one who is the most knowledgeable in medicine, so we're going to ask, we're not going to bother the doctor for that? Maybe simply, that going to collect mushrooms is done a lot in France, and that without that we would have epidemics of poisoning? In general, it is an opportunity to go for a ride, and then share a good meal and harvest. For example: The last time I was there, two in an hour, we had picked up a little more than 5Kg (a good corner) ... In other words, we gave a part, and made a 'monstrous' omelette with porcini mushrooms for 8 (you bring the bottle of red buddies, we have fresh mushrooms and farm eggs).

In any case, it's super convenient. I use it especially for chanterelles. In the region, there is a cousin of this mushroom, which looks like two drops of water, but with which one catches a [strike]carbohydrate[/strike]no tranlatable? ==> big ? indigestion (not deadly so, but very unpleasant). I already throw at all, that I did not have one of good. But it's always better than being sick. And if I do not say stupidity, not once there were not at least some that we should not eat.

In short! I think it's more of a tradition, than a 'mandatory service' in a pharmacy. But if you come to France, and during a walk you come across a mushroom corner: Enjoy it now that you know it! It's so nice to eat fresh produce that you picked yourself, and it's even better if there is no risk.

smile


acpartsman,

Bon courage, et tant mieux pour le nouveau toit ! Vous devez avoir l'habitude des ouragans, mais quand on est loin, ça fait s'inquiéter.
Mon petit frère habite à coté du volcan Osorno au Chili. La dernière fois qu'il a vraiment bougé, et que ça passait sur toutes les TV du monde, on a fait une visio-conférence : Il était mort de rire ! On a l'habitude, tout est prévu, au pire, on sera évacué en 30 min si vraiment il y a besoin.

C'est un peu bête, mais c'est rassurant d'avoir des nouvelles des gens sur place. Alors, s'il te plaît, passes faire un coucou samedi, qu'on sache que tout va bien.
----------
Good luck, and all the better for the new roof! You must be used to hurricanes, but when you are far away, it makes you worry.
My little brother lives next to the Osorno volcano in Chile. The last time he really moved, and it happened on all the TVs in the world, we did a videoconference: He was dead laughing! We are used, everything is planned, at worst, we will be evacuated in 30 min if really there is need.

It's a bit silly, but it's reassuring to hear from people there. So, please, have a look around on Saturday, let us know that everything is fine.

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

I changed my signature and added my new SNURK and friends Base Camper decal to Escher 1 right next to the others.



I think it looks grand. I am so exited about the THOR Challenge 2018 Y3-W1! Maybe SNURK and friends wins this year.

Cheers coffee

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

stefada, I'm proud to say that I found an entire basket of mushrooms
- many different kinds - they tasted very well - and I still live
NixChix, I like the decal collection on your aeroplane. Perhaps we should take up an old tradition
and make a pin-up badge some day.
I also share your enthusiasm for the Grande Finale with the Thor Challenge.

Good Morning Base Campers!
I hope all of you have braved hurricane Florence and the water she brought without harm of any kind.
Business
I share NixChix's enthusiasm for the Thor Challenge which SNURK was kind enough to enter us into.
SNURK and friends is in itself a sturdy team, but I think we'll need more
crunchers to join this trek, if we shall do una bella figura.
So, please join us! You get cake, a badge and the chance to thank SNURK for your sign
in a tangible way.

Chit-chat
Not much to say. Our Queen Margrethe II arrived safely on shore from her royal yacht,
and after a salute of 27 firings, she did pass and as tradition bids wave especially to the four of us
standing at the railing of the frigate Peder Skram
- American built and owned, but manned with Danes during the Cold War and bought back to Denmark
at a relative bargain price to be restored and serve as a museum ship.

Lima Mike for Sierra ...

Avec l'ouragan, ça a pris un petit délais, mais avec des copains on a trouvé comment faire : Ils vont passer dessous !
Une petite surprise pour SNURK. Pour demain normalement.



With the hurricane, it took a little time, but with friends we found how to do it: They will pass under!

Re: Base Camp.......The team that isn't

Well, stefada, I have to take a dive to see if I can find out what you're up to ....
My curiosity outsizes my patience by many submarines

NixChix, a co-cruncher collected a signature from a 'mermaid' in Disneyland.
Could it happen to be your daughter?
