[quote="roundcoconut"Vegpedlr, re your marsala / maderia sauce, I think I should tell you that WHENEVER I have the opportunity to encounter shiitake mushrooms in anything, I absolutely like to give them top billing. Like "Wine shit sauce" and "Broccoli shit soup". This amuses me to no end, and it never gets old for me!

You'd fit right in with my sister and I. We use shiitakes every chance we get, always pronouncing them:
SHIT-loud, (heavy, emphasis)
tahki- (very quiet, mumbled)
Always funny, never gets old.
