I wish I had a camera phone

Seen on the 7th Avenue right next to the convention center: Random mushroom deal at 10 a.m.

No, not drug mushrooms, these appeared to be big cooking/eating mushrooms. The “salesman” had a car full of them and a portable scale. Is that a normal Seattle sight and I’m just a yokel or is that weird?

    A little strange? Maybe… However, growing up in the South, I saw almost every foodstuff imaginable being sold out of people’s trunks on the side of the road… crab, shrimp, boiled peanuts (yes, boiled peanuts!), roasted chili peppers… Once I overcame “who would buy seafood out of someone’s trunk?”, I found that the food was usually very good.

    They might have been matsutake mushrooms. They’re considered a rare/expensive delicacy, and they grow wild up in the Olympics. Was the salesman Japanese?

    (Man, I *hope* they’re matsutakes. That would mean they’re in season again!)
