Truffles and all things delicious about them!

[Crayzital3]

Is anyone else here completely obsessed about fresh winter truffles?

From the musky slightly earthy scent when cooking with them, or shaving them fresh into something, to the very pronounced earth flavor when you cook them in a dish I just can't get enough. Your winter/summer whites are great albeit very pricey (especially for the winter white). More affordable and highly sought after are the black winter truffles with a more pronounced/stronger flavor.

I'm personally not as big a fan of the artificial truffle oils as I am of the real deal.

Anyone else ever cook with them or have a great dish at a restaurant that incorporated some truffle to give it that perfect touch?

I love them! Black and white, I'm not a truffle racist. lol

I love them with mild mushrooms in risotto, I love them with snails, I love them in Parmesan grits, under the skin in roasted chicken, and really love them with eggs!!!!

I am not a huge fan of truffles but that may be down to the fact that many so called chef's over utilize them and end up overpowering the dish. I prefer them in very small doses to simply add a hint of their earthiness to the meal.

Love them in risotto, on top of pizza and eggs as well. Just hard to find in Toronto at a decent price.

Love 'em. Very easy to find in London, as you'd expect.

The price, on the other hand........
