Truffle season is upon us. Release the hounds, (and pigs) . Hearing great things about a truffle farm in the area of Italy known as Umbria. Up in the hills between Assisi and Spoleto is Athenor "La Madia." I was at Zabars up on 80th Street in Manhattan a few weeks back, and people were really getting into it at the truffle demonstration. They were devouring truffle cream, truffle sauce, and dipping into truffle oil. There was also a new product Trufella, (black truffles with cocoa and chocolate nibs).
So what's the deal about "better than sex"? Ok I'll admit it - there is nothing better than actual sex for me, but then my experience is limited. When it comes to food, and you are talking to chef, can you say anything about truffles EXCEPT that the dish just prepared is better than sex?
