Chocolate molten cake with crushed pistachio and cream

Having only enjoyed truffle but two times, is it possible to have too much truffle in a meal? What I mean is, doesn't the strong flavor start to take over the other elements of the meal? Or, is that just crazy talk?

Not to partake in the white truffle season would be criminal.

What a beautiful lunch!

CSM - a little birdie just delivered 4 -14gram bundles in a stryro box sitting right in front of me......

mangiare, it was in anticipation of this evening's festivities that I made my post. I think I can smell the deliciousness from my office...

I had a big chunk of my tongue for lunch today as well as about two bites of a proscuitto sandwich... Knocking teeth out as a kid bled less.

I guess I'll just have to eat your share of dinner tonight

I pierced my tongue before it became a fashionable thing. Fell out of a tree from about 16 feet, and bit a hole right through my tongue. Amazingly, I didn't break anything.... I used to be Gumby back then... Now I'm more like Humpty Dumpty.
Looking forward to seeing you later.

I TRULY don't think it is possible to have too much truffle... There is something so intoxicating about its aromas...when you are in a restaurant where everyone is enjoying truffles, the smell is absolutely captivating... There are very few things that rival it- the more truffle, the better!
