Maria Chmelarova Jul 1, 2012:
mashroom/mushroom je aj v cestine hrib ako aj houba ako aj houba (plodnice ) plus mnoho dalsich moznosti ............. - Volny
Sarka Rubkova Jul 1, 2012:
Dubák (hřib dubový)(Boletus reticulatus) není hřib smrkový neboli pravý neboli bílý (Boletus edulis). Mashroom není v češtině hřib, ale houba. Žampion není hřib, ale je to houba. Neplést prosím.
Maria Chmelarova Jun 28, 2012:
bile hriby (prave hriby) dubaky su prave hriby (Boletus) v tomto pripade (edulis ) na rozdiel od biele hriby - white m. in USA, Kanada ... zname zampiony. Na jedalnom listku su alebo biele h. zampiony, al. wild m.
Sarka Rubkova Jun 27, 2012:
Každá houba chutná trochu jinak, a proto se uvádí z jakých hub se omáčka dělá. Takže bych tam ty hříbky uvedla
Gerry Vickers Jun 26, 2012:
or just to make it sound really fancy: 'sauce aux cèpes' . Posh restaurants like to use French versions if they can, e.g. 'Doigts de poisson avec pommes frites cuites à l'anglaise'
Petr Kedzior Jun 26, 2012:
I would prefer not to include the latin or any other name of the mushroom if it is to be part of a restaurant menu, it will just be confusing for most guests, as they probably don't know this specific mushroom, anyway. Latin is expected from doctors/lawyers rather than waiters, I guess.
Hannah Geiger (X) Jun 26, 2012:
Personally, I think it is important that a reader of the menu knows immediately that it is a mushroom sauce, in a busy season the waiters do not like to be bothered with the what is what type of questions, IMHO
Hannah Geiger (X) Jun 26, 2012:
Jiří Perhaps you remember that for a long time we had not known what žampiony were, i.e. from practical experience, and that, to my knowledge, houbová omáčka byly pouze a vždy hřiby. Your reference is to a Californian species of boletus, unless I am mistaken.

Gerry Vickers Jun 26, 2012:
... which is what I suggested below :)
Jiri Lonsky Jun 26, 2012:
It seems that Italian for hřiby is porcini. This had become a common culinary term in the USA in the last five years or so, but mostly refers to imported dried mushrooms. Considering that it may very well be the cause with the meal in question, think about using the term "porcini sauce".
Jiri Lonsky Jun 26, 2012:
mushroom sauce Everyone will take this to be made with white mushrooms (žampióny) Better be specific. Wild won't cut it either, IMO. (see my comment to Wild mushroom sauce answer)

Maybe you could specify the type of mushroom in the title - various names for it, e.g. cep

agree Petr Kedzior : although "is the best mushroom the forest has on offer" is arguable...

Thanks = depends on how it is cooked. I suppose 'most sought-after mushroom' might be better!
agree Rad Graban (X)

Thanks!
neutral Jiri Lonsky : any mushrooms that are not farmed can be called wild. That is not specific enough

king bolete sauce

This is English version of a Rumanian menu, but why not?
Evidently the king bolete is a widely used term.

Lately, italian dried porcini (their name for hříbky) have become a common occurence in US markets. (I am not sure about Britain) You may consider calling it "Porcini sauce" - that sounds pretty good.
