I think the rap on truffle oil is that it's crutch to make things seem "fancy."

That's entirely it - it's overused like woah.

Or, as Rick Bayless said about truffles, "They don't make things better, they just make them more expensive."

One drop of truffle oil is all you need in a HUGE DISH.
My 2 good friends/fellow-OBOD-druids are vegetarians, and Kaleb is an EXCELLENT cook. They've been nursing the same tiiiiiny bottle of truffle oil for, like, 5 years.
It's totally overwhelming if overused. And easy to overuse.
And can turn a very MEH tempeh dish into I WILL EAT IT ALL NOM NOM NOM.

I had some truffle fries in Seattle that were pretty good.

You infuse a mild oil (like corn) with truffles, much in the same manner you use to make infused vodka.

Or, as Rick Bayless said about truffles, "They don't make things better, they just make them more expensive."
And truffle oil doesn't make things taste like truffles. It makes them taste like truffle oil.
My favorite restaurant in NYC serves a truffled egg toast (made with truffle oil) that is TO DIE FOR, but it's an exception rather than the rule.
Truffle oil in salad dressing? EW EW EW. GET IT OFF.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
he saw his therapist on Tues. We see the psychiatrist today, probably more prescriptions. and we see the therapist on Friday again.
I can't manage getting him anywhere for more than that.
I have really only managed one call to an advocasy group. Hopefully they will call me back today.
Well he refused to go with grandad and uncle and so is pouting in a cube at my work (against company policy) and now we leave in 2 min for my appt with his therapist. good times.
