My wife, Claudia, was out walking with our dog in the fields out back of the house and came across a giant puffball which she picked and brought home. I sliced it into one inch slices and fried it up in olive oil and a little butter and we dined on it, one night with steak and another with broiled salmon. It fried up golden brown on the outside with the interior texture reminiscent of softish tofu with a delicate but definite mushroom flavour, quite a delicacy I must say.

I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this and what is your opinion of it?
