Available at Wegmans much of the year; I don't think I've seen them outside of the range of $600-$999/pound. I've long been curious about the average weight of one truffle. According to that source they're about an ounce each. |

I was in the Piedmont 2 falls ago for the truffle festival. The entire town smelled like truffles. Most seemed around golf ball size, give or take a ball. And all the restaurants served truffles on just about everything. I was in heaven. Mary |

When I was in the European portion of culinary school, we went truffle hunting in the Piedmont. It was fun, and the dog found one. I knew of course it had been planted for our benefit, but try to tell that to Chef Peter...he was convinced it was real. lol... I much prefer white truffles to black. Amy |

I'm hoping that the second season of Oregon truffles is better than last year's. I never use truffles in anything here, they're too darned expensive. Truffle oil is about the limit of it. |

Bumping this. I found a jar of truffle salt I had been given as a gift. God lord. Seriously good. I have been eating it on hard boiled eggs with a little mayo on flat bread but what else can I do with this??? One thought was to add it to the mushrooms in the individual beef wellington recipe you all made me crave. Would that go? Brie was my other thought. If someone has some good ideas for me I would love them. Mary |

Hi, I once had an opportunity to purchase truffles but realized that they were ridiculously overpriced. That was in 1972 at the brand new Bloomingdale's Home Store in Chestnut Hills, MA. They had a beautiful kitchen department with about 15 kinds of mustard and a glass quart mason jar filled with black truffles for $37. Outrageous! Having bought many bottles of Chateau Margaux for $1.79 a bottle in college, I was attuned to bargains.... Tim ps: I must he be the oldest crepitation on this bb! |
