+Synochra because you're supposed to go thru the USDA and stuff to legally have customers purchase some of your product specially if you're gonna say it's from say Italy even Tho it's from Washington or wherever.

Man these are some vicious ass comments. These ladies are doing what they love, basically hiking around the forest with their dogs for a living. And YES she treats her dogs well, she has to because she relies on them for business. This was an interesting look into a not very explored industry , Thanks Munchies!
ytube777 it’s one of the most overrated ingredient ever. Delicious indeed, but fine dining made it huge. So now restaurants charge ridiculous amounts of money just for a few shavings of it.
Have u ever heard of a old classic video called two girls one cup I hear that's what it taste like on a delicate palate you picking up what I'm dropping
It seems like everyone's mad at her for being the person to find something that's expensive. yea she made a lot of money in that deal but there are actual operating costs to business. truffle prices are nowhere near gold prices (I don't think she knows how much gold is actually worth). saying she makes a ton of money because what she's finding is worth a lot is like saying a diamond mine worker must be rich because diamonds are expensive.
Agreed, it takes ages to train your own dog to be able to find truffles like hers do and, from what I understand, most foragers just buy dogs that are already trained by someone for much more than that dog species would normally sell for. Not only that, but videos like this that are well edited and trimmed down to *JUST* the interesting or entertaining parts can tend to mislead ignorant or oblivious people into thinking that she made those $400 just in the 10-20 minutes it took them to watch the video. Not only that, but that basket that she showed at the end of the foraging part was what they'd found after HOURS of foraging, and that was not even a whole pound, especially seeing as they hadn't been processed yet (meaning even with the bits that get trimmed away and the dirt that is washed away, that was not a pound in the basket). I forage for mushrooms that grow above ground like Chanterelles and Morels, etc. and in order to make anything resembling a living doing this you either need to have years of experience, a college degree level of mycological understanding, and work 10+ hours a day when the good stuff is in season, OR you need to have excellent sales skills, and connections to MANY well off chefs/individuals in your area that are willing and able to charge out the ass for what you offer. Also, mushrooms/truffles have become MUCH more well known in recent years, meaning there is more competition between foragers/distributors for what was already a small customer base. The added availability has caused the value of truffles and exotic mushrooms to fall quite a bit, making it harder than ever to make a profit, much less a living. Most people that think this is a way to get rich quickly realize after only a short while that it is by no means easy, and generally not worthwhile if you're main objective is to earn a good living. It's best practiced as a hobby that you can occasionally earn some supplemental income from if you get lucky and find a good growth, or if the weather during that year's season is particularly favorable.
It's hard to describe exactly what truffles taste like because they are unique from pretty much any other food; the best way to describe it would be to imagine the smell of fresh gasoline at the pump. Not the chemical smells, but that sweet earthy smell that catches your nose first when it first starts pouring out. Truffles have the same kind of really strong earthy scent and taste, almost as if they have been fermenting in the rich soil for thousands of years. They also have other underlying tastes which can be similar to mushrooms, nuts, cheeses and even fruit depending on the species of truffle, but what brings them all together and what is essentially the trademark unique flavor of the truffle is that rich fossil fuel-like intensity.
2nd lady you see and her dogs leash is bundled and tucked nicely and rewards the dog with a toy. 1st lady, 0 disregard for the dog choking or getting tangled gives treats ever 2 seconds lol smh gj 2nd lady
In Italy they use pigs but like everything in life a pig is a pig cause if they find a truffle they just want to eat it so they have to fight for their truffles
I think the some people are misunderstanding this. Truffle is sort of like salt in a way, as it enhances the flavor of certain things, but by itself it's not good. As you would not take a bite out of a truffle, you would not stuff a handful of salt down your throat.
@@jeffyproductions8595 There are many different species of truffles, so idk what you are eating, but it is certainly not the kind of truffles shown in this video, or the type most people are talking about using in fine dining. The truffles in this video and that most people talk about are closer to the consistency of those orange "Circus Peanut" candies but obviously with very different flavor. They should be like semi firm marshmallows in terms of texture/consistency.
@@RealEnglishNow She didn't say she's a tweaker .she's talking about people going up there and digging and destroying the forest by digging massive holes and leavening them open

its like what diamond rings are to women. useless but someone said they were valuable and the more expensive the more beautiful they are. truffles are the same thing. it's all BS.
+Bruce Wayne I disagree entirely. I have worked with truffles my whole career and they add immeasurable value to a dish simply for their effect on the palate, not to mention the effect of truffles on the psyche. For truffles are more than just a food, they yield a complex collection of aromas whose action is akin to that of pheromones. However truffles have to be of the correct species and as she explains in the video they aren't always ripe. When a customer gets a bogus Chinese truffle masquerading as a perigord truffle, worst case scenario, or merely a truffle harvested before properly ripened, they wonder what the fuss is about and why they are so damned expensive. Properly used truffles are not wankery.
Being stationed in western washing ting and recognizing all the areas they visited, this was a really interesting short. Makes me want to head out into my backyard and explore.
Whats really wierd is i used to take my pit hiking with me when i got into morel hunting. When we hiked for hours looking for morels he ran off on the hike back. A mile down the trail hiking back there he was standing right infront of a pound of morels i walked right by on the tree line .
Truffles smell like sex. It's what attracts animals (pigs, dogs, etc.). Similar to pheromones of an animal in heat (reputation as an aphrodisiac) .I have found that people either love them or hate them. I consider them to be a totally unique experience, like tasting luxury in a biological form. They are truly diamonds of the Earth.
You may have Pecan truffles in your area- but there isn't a ton of info on where you'd find them. They are good- but again, have a different kind of aroma- @Beth Bullock
Having truffles is like a intense experience. For example when you haven't had McDonald's in a long time and you bite into a cheeseburger you get that aroma with the beef and cheese. Truffles are like that intense experience but times 1000
Truffles aren't really that good. They just can't mass produce them yet. It's just shit in the ground where if you were walking and found one you would never, ever eat it, yet train a dog and sell it in some fine restaurant and it's amazing.
lol that truffle deal was sketchier than any drug deal I've ever witnessed.
+Chris Mcquade If I was driving by, I would think they were dealing drug for SURE.
Let's go into my "office"
+LocumRex hey, could you elaborate, please? why is this kind of food trade illegal?

Those complaining probably never tasted a good truffle before. This is a really great episode.
Harry my lord and saviour nigga fuck the truffle. Bet it tastes like fucking shit but I'd be in it for the money
Truffle is definately good, but horribly overpriced compared to the taste.
there are better mushrooms
I get it! It makes food COMPLEX!!!

I still don't know what a truffle is, but I guess it makes food complex.
It has a really unique taste that takes time getting used to. First time I had it in Italy, it was so strong just from a few shavings

Wow. Thanks for describing that. All this time (ihavent tried truffles yet) i imagined the aroma of salted egg or a strong cheese
It is so fun to watch the relationship that they have have no equal is the most incredible relationship that you could have

Drinking game! every time she says "complex" you take a shot
I really want to try truffles now
You can find these at Italiano stores
I’m sorry but the thought of some tweeker digging in the forest all hours of the day and night searching for truffles 😂
They're usually up in the hills burning cable not truffle hunting this is how some of the wildfires get started in Oregon f****** tweakers
why would you think shes a tweaker?

wow truffles on everything, living like a queen. Husband must be a lucky man
