I eat some fresh ones (buffalo burger gravy over biscuits) , sauté some lightly in margarine not until fully cooked (kinda blanched) put in vacum bags in freezer till the liquid sets up then vacum seal, we also dehydrate some and store in jars for soup and stews the following year. I used to have a spot that I would go to you could sit down and fill up a grocery bag a friend and I used it for years its now being turned into a large housing development
