the other great thing about truffle-containing products is reading the ingredients label and seeing the truffle content at like 0.05%

Asymmetric POSTer posted:the other great thing about truffle-containing products is reading the ingredients label and seeing the truffle content at like 0.05% to be fair on that a little goes a long way with truffle. the burger in the picture will surely taste way way too much of it.

a lot of bougie food is dumb af but part of the reason i bartended in so many 5 star joints is so i could eat some top quality fuckin food and theres a ton of poo poo that is absolutely worth shelling out for if youre into really fuckin good food. and im not saying $800/person tasting menus either. theres a ton of really great food at the $40-60 pricepoint (and a LOT of garbage) but ill stan bougie foods because good caviar on a tiny cracker slaps

five guys burgers are way too wet and sloppy for my taste they always come out as a soggy semi-spherical wad of meat and toppings, and the fries are practically mashed potatoes after a few minutes

yeah, i used to work at the horse track in my hometown cleaning the bar after 12th race, and there was so much food ordered and then left untouched b/c the betters lost and got mad and stormed out. we ate very well.

truffle oil, basically without exception, is one isolated flavor component synthesized from corn. usually 2, 4-diapenthane

I think the truffle oil I tried wasn't synthetic and it was still the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life I just added a tiny, tiny bit to mushroom risotto or something and it was so gross I nearly vomited and I had to throw it out

Wikipedia posted:Today, dogs—known as truffle hounds—are commonly used for gathering truffles in place of truffle hogs, as pigs have been known to eat too many truffles in the field. aww pig buddy just wanted a taste to see what all the fuss was about

mystes posted:That seems like a fairly convenient/affordable way to get a taste so maybe I'll try that, thanks i mean, truffles taste super earthy, the common characterization of "dirty sock flavor" is not entirely unfair. i kind of like them, but they are super easy to hate without it needing to be the circumstances of how you tried them.

I’ve had a tough time finding a really good burger in nyc, honestly, though I haven’t tried very hard either. I live right near Emily but afaik their burger, while well-regarded, uses a mayo-based sauce which is not something I’m really interested in
