Slice them into strips. Shallow fry them in a mere film of butter and dip them like soldiers into poached eggs. 😋

i could eat them with bacon...........but i dont think my stomach is strong enough to have them with a poached egg....just a little bit toooo french for me:sick:

I saw something about eating puffballs on a Facebook group I'm part of, I just couldn't trust myself not to pick up the wrong thing and give myself the squits.

What would you compare the flavour to?

TBH .. you can't get these wrong really ... just a white ball.

I found a massive one the other year and it was tasteless and unpleasant to eat ... maybe due to it's size?

A bit boring really, not a lot of taste to them.

Hard to confuse a puffball with anything else, most are the size of a football.

Did indeed, for the purpose of scale. That is an ostrich egg, and not a hens, despite appearances. 
Despite it looking impressive, and giving off a great ‘shroom smell, it is absolutely tasteless! Perhaps it was too big? 
We have another still growing which is only grapefruit sized. We’ll see if it tastes any better.

did you put that egg on top of the puffball on purpose ?

They do appear over night, and like warm moist atmosphere, 👍

Having a photo of a GIANT puff ball with the egg on can only mean 1 thing.

The hen had obviously had a kip over night in a field and the recent high temperature activated the giant puffball spores and there it starts. The hen laid the egg in her sleep and woke up on top of the giant puff ball, not being too keen on heights flew off. Thats it,

I've always fancied a puffball sandwich ( ooeer missus ). I like the idea of cutting a slice of puffball , an inch thick,  and the size of a slice of bread , then fry it in very garlicy butter ,until the edges get crispy , then put it between two slices of bread 😊.
