Spelling word again. Of course, all you gourmets know they are an expensive Japanese
mushroom. Expensive enough I abstained.
shiitake My dictionary says "ii" is like long "e". Not a diphrhong as I thought it would be.
and dictionary says final "e" also long "e". I thought it should be long 'a"
n.
5Jpn6 an edible, Japanese mushroom (Lentinus edodes) from a family (Agaricaceae) of basidiomycetous fungi

Well OK, maybe not a mushroom. Yesterday our local hypermercado had a locked case in the produce section with about ten truffles at $249 a pound. Yup, no decimal point in there.
Take (and I'd pronounce it as maybe a short e, tah-keh) is japanese for mushroom.

Gee, Faldage, that price was a bargain. A couple days ago I saw on Internet price of over nine
hundred dollars a pound. It'll snow in hell before I PAY such a price.

We shoulda scooped some. I wonder how much one weighs. Then there was the time we ran into the kopi luwak, coffee beans that had been preselected by a civet cat. $300/lb.
