Canned mushrooms on pizza are superior to fresh mushrooms
Something about the texture paired with the added salt makes them a superior topping. However I’ll admit it’s the only scenario in which canned mushrooms are better than fresh.
Gotta second this. The only exception I would maybe throw in there is sauteed fresh mushrooms. But that brings the texture more in line with canned. I don't care for fresh onions either, while we're on the topic.
Sauteed would absolutely be the best choice, but it's not really a fair comparison. Raw mushrooms = little flavour. Canned mushrooms = some flavour, better texture. Mushrooms freshly sauteed in tasty fats = superior flavour, considerable effort.
Everything sucks when you don't know how cook it. Even the raw mushroom need some preparation. Place on top and pretend that heating is enough to make tasty don't works so good.
