Fresh truffles (the season runs from Sept to Dec) are also tres expensive, and not every palate "gets it." The white truffles (which I think are slightly earlier than the black) are the more flavorful. Adding just a few drops of truffle oil -- to an omelette, a risotto, etc -- is like cheating.

I've always been put off by the harvesting process.
 How do you stop the ol' hog from munching the find? Stop the Holy See men! |

as some of you know, i'm into cooking. so, we have this traditional dish that everybody eats during the solstice, but it is pretty complicated to make. they are called "pasteles", and i'll be making some to sell this weekend. (they are pricey). it's a masa made out of green bananas, pumpkin, green plantains and a potato like tuber that we grow here, stuffed with a cooked mixture of pork and chicken, with raisins, roasted bell peppers and green olives. think tamales but not made out of corn masa and without the corn husk wrapping.
got me some clients for them lined up already. will also make smoked stuffed jalapeño poppers (20 bucks a dozen!) and posibly some prize-winning bbq ribs. (people are begging for them). things are bad, gotta make some money!

In September I found a ginormous chicken mushroom in NW Connecticut -- had to weigh 10 kg. It took a couple days to cook all of it in several batches -- some with tomato sauce and peppers, others with garlic and olive tampanade -- and froze tons of it. Was a huge hit at Thanksgiving.
  I have a couple quarts left in the freezer... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ La propriété, c'est le vol ... |

It has the texture of chicken.
The italians call it 'penale', because of it's penile shape when it first emerges from the wood. I said *wood* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ La propriété, c'est le vol ... |
