Hello @NW_du_Toit ,

Thank you for sharing these photos with us, everything looks very delicious! Did you make this on your own, or you got some help?

Is this a famous meal in your country? Is it a dish that one can have at a restaurant as well?

I love mushrooms, but I never tried them with bacon! I usually like to prepare mushrooms with butter in the oven, very tasty too.
