Oh, food world. You’ve really gone and done it now.
I found this amazingness/ridiculousness in a gift bag following a press event last week at Fiamma. (Yes, it’s closed, but they’ve still got a branch open in Vegas so they flew chef Carlos Buscaglia in to preview his truffle-tastic spring menu.)
I just felt the need to share with you all that such a thing exists.

someone recently explained to me that chocolate truffles are not made from a mixture of a truffle mushroom and the cacao bean. I’ve never cared for chocolate so I simply didn’t know…. and well…. I assumed (which as we all know makes an ass out of me – but gives u all a nice chuckle at my expense)
that’s like not even fair.
so what’s it taste like!
@ gansie – mushrooms!
correction: fancy mushrooms
I know this sounds pretentious, but I really never know how to describe truffle-y things. Kinda earthy, but in a rich, hearty way. Weird to eat in licking form, but kinda great.
