I've been known to paint a bit
and sometimes sketch. Occasionally I manage to turn out something I'm genuinely proud of but mostly I get about two-thirds done and think 'well, this is shite' and abandon it.

I don't mind paying tax. It's not like I know any different and I quite like having public services and that.

yeah, but those services would still be there if you personally stopped paying tax

Yes, but then I'd be taking advantage of a system I don't contribute to
and I wouldn't be comfortable with that.

I bought some chanterelles from Borough market last year
I found them extremely disappointing. I was expecting an awesome taste sensation and what I got was...mushroom. But expensive.

Fresh mushrooms can be rather subtle.
If you want a hardcore mushroom taste go dried and reconstitute them yourself, as the drying concentrates the flavour.

Porcini are a good choice.

I have only ever used dried porcini in duxelle for beef wellington
I can't honestly say I noticed a vast amount of difference...
