This afternoon I received a phone call on my mobile, and immediately dropped into hushed-tones and moved to a quiet area to continue the call ( Read more... )

Oh. Wow. What are you going to cook with it?

Have you read what Isabelle Allende had to say about truffles in her cookbook?

I plan on doing a simple, classic truffle-omelette this Saturday.

Drool.

Can I just say I am bucking for scambled truffled eggs over smoked salmon on a turkish bread base?

Apparently we get two serves out of this 50gm so I happy to concede one meal :D

I will never feel guilty about spending a stupid amount of money on one item ever again (in my case, boots) ... we have both enjoyed the initial outlay one way or another :D

That would be a fine thing to try...

The only truffles I've tried were in my housemate's risotto, brought here from his hometown in Italy. Damn, they were good.

Wow. I am in awe. I don't think I've ever eaten one.

"I don't think I've ever eaten one."

Which is on par with saying "I'm not really sure, but I don't think I've had a three-way with Monica Bellucci and Angelina Jolie".

If you're a food-freak, it's not the sort of experience you can easily forget.

The word "magnificent" was invented purely to describe the aroma of the damn things.

They turned up this morning. They rock.

Oh, you've just reminded me of possibly the best thing I ever put in my mouth.

I was doing a solo driving holiday in Tasmania, and had just driven up the east coast. I had dinner alone at Stillwater, and did the degustation.

The first thing was a sashimi scallop, which had been sliced very finely, and served with truffle oil and a few drops of artichoke essence. It was a religious experience. It tasted of the depths of the earth, and the sweetness of the sea and like springtime, all in one mouthfull. It was amazing.

Now you've got my attention. Next time we meet up - this is the first topic of conversation.
