We are knee deep in truffle season at the moment here.<br />I'm hitching my wagon to the truffle express finally and am planning a truffle dinner or lunch in the next month.<br />Your point on the scent and flavour is a good one amd I reckon its why some epople just dont get all the hoopla about truffles as apparently they have been dudded.<br />We've been enjoying some 'not-truffles' that are found under a mates Spanish hazelnut trees. Look and smell like truffles (though small) but very little flavour at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
