Yeah, I discovered my 8 liter basket to be rather too small when I found a bunch of them a while ago ๐Ÿ˜

Can I just bite it?

[โ€“] Ildar@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Yes you can, at list once

In fact, this mushroom tastes like a champignon

I haven't tried it raw, but it's delicious fried.

Fun fact, Pepsi (and most other popular sodas) in US are sold in following sizes:

  • mini cans (7.5 ounces)
  • classic cans (12 ounces)
  • 16.9 ounce bottles
  • 20 ounce bottles
  • 1-liter bottles
  • 1.25-liter bottles
  • 2-liter bottles

why? fu, that's why ;-)
