    Truffles are so precious that you must not waste them to make simple
    recipes
    with simple ingredients such as eggs.

    Why? As far as I'm concerned, it is exactly because they are precious
    that they ought to be enjoyed mostly for the own sake. Eggs are a
    perfect vehicle, no different from simple pasta in this regard. Like
    pasta, they provide a nice, neutral background to underline the flavour
    and aroma of truffles. The very best truffle dish I have ever had was
    "oeuf mollet aux truffes", a soft-boiled, shelled egg with truffles, in
    the Dordogne (Périgord-Quercy) region of France. To me, it opened up
    the "essence" of truffles.

    Victor

    Perhaps is like you say, but pasta or risotto are better, IMHO, to exalt the
    "essence" (as you call it).

    Pandora, may I compliment you on your English. You sentence and punctuation
    are better than a lot of English-speaking persons.
    No one so far has corrected your English and you have absorbed how others
    write when they are write as if they are speaking.
    There is only one little word missing in your sentence. It is after
    "perhaps," can you guess what it is? I'm writing this as a compliment and my
    amazement as to how you've improved your English.

    Pandora, I wrote incorrectly "when they are write..." I should have written

    yes, sometimes I read words that I don't understand because some people

    Is it true?

  5. Well, scrambled eggs and truffle were a big disappointment.

    Truffle two, last night was shredded over d'affinois cheese on toasted
    french bagette coins. Same disappointment.

    Truffle three this morning was shredded over remaining french bagette
    coins after french toasting in egg batter, topped with cream cheese.
    Total disappointment.

    I need to travel to where they hunt them to know their true flavor
    before I spend another $25 for an ounce of tastelessness, dagnabbit!!!

    Perhaps I was on to something saying that I thought they were around $1K
    per lb. Maybe you need to spend more. I calculate $416 for the ones you
    bought.

    Yes. But the black winter truffles are priced about 4x more, from what
    I've seen offered over the internet.

    Are you a gambler? Let's go in halves??? 😉
