These pickled mushrooms are a great snack by themselves or a wonderful addition to an antipasto platter. I started my catering business over 40 years ago by making antipasto platters for friends. At first I was just charging what it cost me and I had so many requests that one day I tripled the price and no one blinked. The beginning of my career as a caterer. My business was "Loaves & Fishes" and I have to say we never ran out of food when we catered. God had his hand on me from the beginning. I retired a few years ago when we moved to a sleepy little country town in So. AL.
