Shrooms are something I really am not a fan of at all the rest, apart from the vino, is cool. The term for mushrooms in Gaelic is Balgan Buachrach which translates literally into English as Bubbles on shit or shitty bubbles and that says it all for me.

My Hebridean Granny instilled similar ideas into my father’s head. My Cumbrian mother loved mushrooms but had to sneak them into the house past him. Diced into a sauce he ate them approvingly without ever knowing. Our little joke!

There is a thing in Celtic folklore about mushrooms that dances on the edge of the ‘wee folk’ and Druids tripping out of their skulls. My Dad was probably the last generation of Scots to worry about Kelpies dragging him down to the depths for transgressions in his diet!
