One unnamed daughter-in-law has penned a letter to an advice column pleading for some advice about her boyfriend's parents, who use the food as an ingredient in every single dish they serve, even going as far as to sprinkle mushroom powder into mashed potatoes.

''They even added mushroom powder to the mashed potatoes at one holiday dinner. (sic)
