I've never had a real truffle before. Plenty of the the recently-debunked "truffle oil", and the occasional black-fleck microshavings, but never the real thing. My dad just brought me back a 12,5G black truffle from a reputable dealer in Provence. It's in a little glass jar with maybe 1/2 tsp liquid in there, the ingredients say black truffle, water, salt.
How should I eat it? I've been told omelette, I was thinking of just shaving it up coarsely on a little mound of fresh pasta, maybe after heating it in some butter. Any other ideas? (aside from just eating it straight, which I will definitely do with a piece)
I know I'm probably making too big a deal out of this, but it's fun, so, let me know what you think!
