PrintThe Truffle Baskets of Lalbenque
As a city dweller most of the food I see is pre-packaged now and in stores, so it's easy to forget farmer's markets aren't just novelties in other parts of the world—they're the way people buy and sell food every day. Pim visited the famous Lalbenque truffle market in France recently and posted photos of the lovely baskets the truffles are brought to market in. I talk to the chefs in my neighborhood who prepare my meals, but seeing these baskets, "some handsome, some old, some new, some quite wretched workmanship, and others a marvel of homemade glory", is a reminder of how rarely I have a human connection with the people who work with the ingredients that make up those meals.
