#5321: Viet Cuisine Shiitake Mushroom Instant Rice Noodles – Vietnam

#5321: Viet Cuisine Shiitake Mushroom Instant Rice Noodles - Vietnam

Another shroomy one from James of Lakeside, California – thanks! The first one of these I reviewed I was very surprised by  insofar as I actually liked it. I’m not a fungi (well, my wife thinks I am at least) and have never really been all in for mushrooms.
