My mother is trying to turn me into a fat bastard. My brothers are well on the way.
Had my first matsutake of the year last night in matsutake gohan. Three large rice bowls is now my limit. Japanese in the motherland pay extreme prices for matsutake, I get it free by going and wandering in the woods on my uncles property. Even had fresh shrimp from my uncles beachfront with the matsutake gohan and the night before, crab cakes made from my uncles freshly caught crab.
So, the point I guess is Matsutake is valued so highly for the seasonality it represents. Feelings of fall, etc..
Many of the so called delicacies are used to invoke the sentiment of the seasons. What kind of Japanese foods do you like for the seasons they are supposed to represent.
And where does Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Dunkin Doughnuts, and Starbucks fit into this idea? :D
