“Who ever says truffle, pronounces a great word” … and these are not my words, but nothing less than Brillat Savarin. A wrinkled, often black tuber that is part of those “gastronomic myths”. There is the category of “regulars” as meat, wine, cheese, poultry … and the “exceptionals” like a pistil of flower (saffron) or an underground tuber (truffle) or fish roe (caviar).
