What we are about to present to you is a simple and tasty autumn first course, made with champignons. The champignon (in Latin Agaricus campestris) is an edible and excellent quality mushroom belonging to the Agaricaceae family. In some countries it is considered the best mushroom for the preparation of first and second courses, while it is rejected in others. The Romans considered it excellent, so much so that the illustrious poet Horace made a commendation of it: "Pratensibus optima fungis / Natura est; aliis male creditur" (in English: "the champignon is the best mushroom in nature; we should not trust the others").
