How To Appreciate A Morel

in #wildcrafting5 years ago

Our neighbors found some morels. Lots of them, so many they invited us up to enjoy some with them! That is sort of like sharing your first born child, or your pot of gold!

Eggs, crushed saltines, butter and MORELS!

I have had morels cooked in a variety of ways, but THIS is the right way. Everything else is just someone thinking they are a fancy pants trying to get cute. Batter and fry those babies - SO MUCH YUM!!!

Taylor cooked up another round and we were all stuffed like happy hobbits!

Now, as we dined on these forest morsels, I felt deeply grateful for this gift. The people who shared with me, the little mushrooms with such tiny short lifespans that gave their existence to sustain mine - AMAZING! It makes me a little sad for the people who have chosen to take this false "high moral road" of plant based diets that simply prove they do not really appreciate plant life. That little morel fought for its life. It learned to produce toxins, so that if you just walk up and eat it, it will make you sick. It did not really want eaten, it wanted to grow and spore and wither and die of old age. It got to grow and spore, but it died of being picked and eaten. I get that, I appreciate that, I give solemn thanks for that. The life it surrendered is no less precious than that of my chickens or cows or even my own. It is a life eat life world, and I am blessed to be a part of it. Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ.

This is the kind of stuff vegans either do not know, or do not really understand. "Plant based" diets still kill living things. Life is a sacred cycle and NO ONE gets to live without killing, so learning to be humble and appreciative of the things that die so you may live is critical to being a decent human. Pretending you are on moral high ground because you refuse to admit plants are sacred, living creatures is ridiculous in the extreme. If vegans ever learn how sacred plant life is, they will either starve to death or learn to eat what is put in front of them with gratefulness like their momma taught them.

"No one gets to live without killing"...it's true and worth thinking about. Let me agree with this simple truth with a 100% upvote.

Thank you, I appreciate that very much, too!
