Phil's Parilla Tip #1

If you haven't had mushrooms for a while, and you're at a Parilla, and you see something that looks like a mushroom, a Shitake mushroom maybe, and you pick it up, think for a while if you really remember what a mushroom looks like, then slowly put it back on the grill.

I'll admit I'm not the most adventurous eater, but I try. Last night however I had to elegantly, yet quickly remove (read spit out) what I thought was a mushroom during dinner. Turns out lungs look kinda like mushrooms... go figure. I had to recover by eating a Chorizo sausage and drinking a couple of glasses of beer.
