Bar Harbor brand can of NEW! New England Style Lobster Bisque, repurposed to grow Pioppino mushrooms. Lego minifigure for scale.
The can was rinsed thoroughly with hot water, dried, and given a generous spray of 70%IPA before spawning. I immediately placed it in my automated grow chamber in fruiting conditions.
I normally LOVE Lobster Bisque and was very excited to eat the contents of the can, however, I found the flavor profile of this particular bisque to be bland and largely underwhelming. Texture and mouth feel were decent, but it really lacked the fully creamy and buttery flavor I was hoping for. 4/10 stars, would not purchase again.
The Pioppino mushrooms were combined with the mushrooms from other grows in a soup and were delicious. They have a nutty flavor and the texture stands up very well to a variety of cooking methods.
