At the Marché aux Truffles

Posted by Adam Kuban, December 5, 2006

Maki of I Was Just Really Very Hungry visits the Marché aux Truffles in Richerenches, France:

I choose a modestly small one, a tad bigger than a golf ball, too shy to touch one of the big, multi-lobed ones. I take it to my nose, and inhale. I wish that at this point I had more poetic words to describe the sensation, but the only thing I can say i s "Wow". That pungent aroma is so unique that it's impossible to articulate. Earthy? Slightly gamey? It's just what it is -- truffle.

From choosing the truffle to cleaning, preparing, and eating it.
