    Fun fact. Some places hide truffles ahead of time so the guests don't feel let down. There is a reason they are so rare.

    I've visited Italy several times, this makes me want to go back...In the Umbrian region that thick soup is usually served in a big bowl, they call it something like "pilgrims soup"...it's cheap to make but very delicious. And yep, many places that serve steak will cook it their way and it's usually very rare.

      Weirdly enough, in Tuscany, that's not true. Eat it like asian noodles, but do try not to slurp. I grew up with that culture. Twisting would have gotten you scolded. Maybe they twist now, I dunno. Been a while since I was there.

    Actually we don’t fully know why truffles grow the way they do. They favor conditions but we don’t know all of it like why they choose one spot over another when the conditions are exactly the same or why certain types of truffles like that spot. All we can do is find them and that’s all.

    • @andrewg.t9714
      @andrewg.t9714 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Farmers grow truffles by inoculating the roots of saplings with truffle spores, then harvesting the truffles in 6 to 7 years. This technique was first recorded in 1969. However, growing truffles requires a complex combination of appropriate weather conditions, soil chemistry, and a bit of luck to grow successfully.

      Every time I tell people leaner meat has more concentrated beefy flavor they freak out. I get more flavor from something like a filet or a strip than a ribeye. Ribeye is too rich and I dont mean in flavor, it's just fat and fat it self doesn't have flavor like the actual meat does. The perfect steak is a nice marbled strip or filet.
