Re: Truffles - I want to try them!

I do not see what is so appealing in truffles. Part of it might be an aversion to foreign food. American for me always.

Re: Truffles - I want to try them!

Do you like mushrooms? That's what made me try them... and a matter of how often could I try a risotto that was more expensive than I would normally pay for 2 or 3 entire meals. So I tried it, and the taste, was AMAZING!!!!! Believe me, it's not like caviare (sp?), where I think that's more of people saying it's so great but the taste needs to be acquired. I hated it... but truffles, this ole hillbilly loved them. They were really great.

It grows in the south so if you have land in the south, and you are interested that might be an option. The market for these has not really developed yet but I think in the next 10 years, it very well might take off as the “Eat Local” movement takes off and this is a new potential gourmet food item. I really think southern chef’s will go nuts for this if they become available with some consistency.
OK I already have a 30 tree mature pecan orchard and I'm a Local Harvest farmer. Now I must find out about growing truffles on my trees. Wow thanks!

No shrooms for me either. I prefer garlic and other spices.

T2W, you MAY already have truffles.

if you have pecan trees, and live in the south there is a pretty good chance you have Pecan Truffels.

the University of Georgia is doing some work on that. They might direct you on how to get an animal that can find them.

Truffles are described by some as having a garlicky, buttery, honey taste.

Dear sweet sister, I have always loved you marvelous contributions to AFF. I even love every last duck and goat on your farm with all my heart...

Just let me know when you find the truffles and I will give you the shipping instructions.

Your humble servant, Hoovie

Truffles - The allure of truffles - It's all about the smell!

Did You Know?

You smell them and you become willing to do whatever you have to do to have them.

Truffles are the culinary equivalent of sex. You love them or you don’t. You smell them or you don’t. You need them or you don’t.

That most women describe the aroma of fresh truffles and truffle oil as earthy and very sensual? That most men just laugh and give you a funny look when you tell them what women think of truffles and truffle oil? Remember that I said most men and not all!
