Truffle pate? really. Sounds marvelous.

I tend to shy away from food and beverages labeled as being “earthy”. Just saying….it’s for the birds!

I know that flavor, and I agree with your Richard. True, earth-y is good, and we certainly are of the earthy. Trouble is we don’t like the taste of it. Pate with that thingy over the e (deludes me which keys do that at the moment) sounds wonderful if you’d maybe cover the must with chocolate. You could mix half a good dark chocolate truffle recipe with your pate then roll your earthy/choc trufs in nuts, coconut or cocoa powder. I’ll be lookin’ for my box any day now…lol. 😉

Pass the choc, please 🙂

I think I will pass on the truffles. Thanks for the heads up as I shop Costco all the time and never tasted anything there I didn’t like.

This is the one time I’m in favor of the squirrels. (I can’t believe I said that!)

This could become one of those family Christmas stories that is told every year with great merriment.

Interesting how a mistake can turn into an adventure…

Enjoy the cooking! I’m sure your heafty tablespoons of love will make everything all that better!

I don’t eat dirt… and I have eaten truffles before. I think you were QUITE kind in your description.

That’s something I have yet to try!
I’ll probably like truffles. I seem to have expensive taste. Not sure where it came from, I grew up eating garden produce and meat traded for my father’s tractor repairing. :-} Of course, it was almost all organic, although we didn’t call it that. Just what we had, and pesticides cost more than the old stle methods LOL.

I’d be curious to try one but would then move on to the pistachios.

You think the squirrels would like the truffles?

Fun –

I adore them – they hit me at a spinal level. Funny how tastes are so individual.
