CNN has the scoop:“There was a delicious mushroom dish. I was not aware that these mushrooms had hallucinogenic properties. I learned that later,” Yellen said about the group dinner that clarified that she didn’t organize nor did she do the ordering....
Yellen then said that she had “read that if the mushrooms are cooked properly, which I’m sure they were at this very good restaurant, that they have no impact. But all of us enjoyed the mushrooms, the restaurant, and none of us felt any ill effects from having eaten them,” Yellen said....
Well, then... it's nothing. But... "any ill effects"... wait a minute. Were there effects that were not ill? Maybe there were delightful or mystical effects. But, you will argue, she said there was "no impact." No, she said IF they were cooked "properly," then they have no impact. I still think there could have been an impact — an effect — but it just wasn't ill. And perhaps part of the effect is to heighten the caginess of speech, and Janet Yellen is already a person dedicated to taking great care with her speech.
These mushrooms are called jian shou qing, which means “see hand blue.” That's not because when you're under the influence you see things, such as your hand, in different colors, such as blue. Rather, when you push on the mushroom — slicing it, perhaps — it turns blue.
Stunning — isn't it? — that the Secretary of the Treasury was fed psychedelic mushrooms by whoever it was that did organize that group dinner.
From the Guardian article on the same incident:
After a Weibo user posted about Yellen eating at the Yunnan restaurant called In and Out during her trip.... The chain said on Weibo that Yellen’s visit and choice of dish had caused several branches to sell out within hours.
“At 2[pm], the Sanlitun store was the first to sell out; from 8pm, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Xi’an, Xiamen, and Tianjin stores were in a hurry until they were completely sold out,” In and Out said on Weibo.
“Two weeks after that meal… colleagues from headquarters in branding, personnel, finance, etc. collectively transferred to another job and turned into mushroom cutting workers,” the restaurant said in a later post.
