They taste like mushrooms dipped in grape jam.

We're all assuming here that the Plump Helmet is a fungus.
I believe wholeheartedly that the Plump Helmet is really a Smurf.

Then again, the question becomes what the hell does a Smurf taste like?

Heheh. Just thought about a Smurf getting minced 30 times into a +Plump Helmet Roast+

It's nice to see a mushroom thread without phallic undertones.

I think they would taste kind of like Portabella mushrooms, except with a more spicy, pepper taste to the skin. The juice would taste slightly like ginger.

That way, Dwarven Wine would have a very distinct spicy taste. An extra kick to keep your dwarves running.

Interesting.

Ug. mushrooms are not my kind of food, so I try not to imagine what they taste like.

Probably cave scrapings.

Although purple is a strong contender. Maybe they just sprinkle purple on the ground, the mushrooms grow naturally, so its really just symbiotic flavour seeds.

I'd think that they'd taste like potatoes. With the texture of a mushroom.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking. Some kind of bland-but-starchy taste like potatoes or bread.

So I'm presuming that either Dwarves drink alchohol so strong a shot can turn humans blind, or that they're just sugary enough to ferment without killing you.

The idea of Dwarven Wine being antifreeze is a decidedly strange thought.

It's good for two things: de-greasing engines, and killing brain cells.

Same here. I think the wine would be mostly tasteless, probably bitter but unappealing.

Just as a side-point, they don't actually eat the rock nuts.  They eat the leaves from the quarry bush.  I think of those as kind of like bay leaves.  I do confess that I think of plump helmets more as purple than as mushrooms, although I do know they are supposed to be mushrooms.  Maybe they are beets?

Someone once told me that beets could not be fermented, and that was why beet juice was in V-8 juice.  I tried to ferment some V-8 juice, and it ferments quite nicely.  It made a nice, dry, straw-colored wine.  Unfortunately I forgot that V-8 juice has salt in it.  I drank the wine heated, in a cup, like an alcoholic vegetable broth.  It was nicely warming on cold winter days.

Beet wine? That sounds interesting. In DF, we have alcohol made of everything except... well, grapes.
