Quote:If you have ever smelled truffles you would probably want to eat them right then and there, or you would loathe the smell. It is kind of like Patchouli oil, or Musk cologne in that respect; people either love or hate them.

It's kinda like an acquired taste?



Ah the display picture I saw was the Oregon Black Truffles. Sounds delicious though I've not tried it yet. I wonder if I'd love it..

Heh, I've never tried truffles, so it'd be interesting to come across.

Then again, I've tried to eat peas before and I almost threw up. Not a big fan of them. lol

I'd soak em in gravy

By chance, were they 9 days old?



Lame ...

Welcome to the forums, Falhalterra.

You mean the peas, Sae? lol

Welcome Kristen!

Welcome Kristen, and sorry for the derails in your welcome thread.

ps, I love truffels but they are way too expensive for me.

Not at all! It is a binary response much like Patcholi or Musk. One experience sets your response in stone! For example, when I found them I HAD to buy them because the smell was so appealing, for other people (Though not many) they HATE the smell and people don't change their reactions to these sorts of things. If you ever happen across someone with Truffles for less than $10 an ounce, buy an ounce and then grate one button into a grilled (Tillimook Cheddar) cheese sandwich and it WILL be the best one you ever had!* The fat from the cheese captures and distributes the flavor. I've Truffled some eggs too but it didn't work as well.

Vegemite is an acquired taste, beer is too because most people do not like their first experiences with either but many people have learned to appreciate both.

Leo,

When has a welcome thread NOT been derailed? I am lucky to live in Oregon and I found a guy selling them for $5 an ounce which I thought was high until I went online and realized the cheapest ones were $75 dollars an ounce!

*Unless you hate Truffles

$75 and $5...that is a BIG difference lol

The way you describe it certainly sounds heavenly! I'll see if I can find some in my area. Thanks for explaining it to me, bro!

Welcome Kristen, I've been 18 in my mind for a long time too


And Rhizo, it looks like a basket of turds.
