>> No.14950123

It depends on how serious you are about different flavors and refining your palate. Are you the kind of person that tries to mentally reverse-engineer the food you taste? Do you sample different things and catalogue their differences from your other experiences? Do you have some disposable income? Then you'll probably be interested in at least trying them. That being said, some mid-western Cletus is likely to have no appreciation for them and be offended by the cost. And for everyday use, it's not realistic. But for a once in a while thing, they're unique and can really add to a dish.

>>14950094
This but be careful. A ridiculous percentage of "truffle oils" are artificially flavored and pretty inaccurate. It's the difference between a watermelon and watermelon-flavored candy.

I really don't like truffle. I can only tolerate it in risotto. I'm not sure which is worse for me, the taste or the smell. My mom/sister and wife love it and every time I go to an Italian restaurant with any of them, they order something with it and the smell alone ruins everything else. It's probably on-par with restaurants that allow smoking and the smell is so powerful it overpowers everything else completely.

>> No.14950690

if you think it's overpowering you're probably just eating shitty fake truffle oil. real fresh truffles are subtle.

>> No.14950714

its overrated and expensive shit that overpowers everything it's in, or you cant taste it at all

>> No.14950718

>>14950690
Most foods usually have both.

Both taste and smell are VERY different between truffle oil and fresh truffle. Fresh truffle barely has a smell and a very odd taste. Not overpowering at all. Truffle oil on the other hand overpowers everything with ease. For example, decent Italian restaurants serve truffle pasta with truffle oil and real truffle flakes on top (which is why it costs so much, real truffle is very expensive and rare).

If you were to have only real truffle, it would not really be a truffle dish.

>> No.14950737

>>14949819
tastes really great but its really hard to use without it being either overwhelming or not worth the price. besides the taste is fairly easy to fake with a few chemicals and as with many luxury ingredients the difference between the chemical and the real deal is simply not worth the money.

I never ate truffle but when I compare actual bourbon vanilla to vanillin, it's two complete different things. The synthetic vanillin has a harsh metallic and sharp taste, like an actual poison. While real vanilla has a soft, creamy and full-body taste and aroma.It certainly takes an actual ghetto nigger to enjoy the synthetic vanillin before the majority simply never stated the real stuff. I regularly bitch when I eat out or even get an icecream and the chef thinks he can get away with using vanillin while calling it vanilla ice.

they smell more than taste. not that they lack taste but that's not really what they contribute. you know how thyme totally fills the kitchen with thyme smell but if you were to pinch your nose and stick a thyme sprig in your mouth it would taste pretty much the same as any other twiggy thing with bitter small leaves? it's like that. texture and taste of a tough mushroom. strong smell.
