I've never tasted them either....because they look too much like dog poo.

earthy - like mushrooms.

Yes, they are expensive, because they are hard to find and I believe they only come from one region in Italy (or somewhere in Europe)

I have had them... in the thin sliced version on my food and have had truffles in olive oil-- I don't remember what it tasted like... but I don't remember hating it either.

I agree, to me they could have used a portobello or something because the taste was the same to me. With all the seasonings in the dish it really didn't matter anyway.

We had dinner 2 years ago at a fancy schmancy restaurant and someone got a truffle risotto - she requested some shaved truffles on top, and it cost an additional $80 Chat Icon
