Because books.
I'm sure the doctor and/or the pharmacist probably mentioned it, but remember that any meds might take a while to start working if they need to reach a certain level.
Hang in there, msbelle.

I had some truffle fries in Seattle that were pretty good.
It's one of the better uses. Similarly, I've had amazing truffled tater tots. No. Really.
I also like it used sparingly in things like mac 'n' cheese, and certain types of tomato sauce. But it gets overused, both in amount and the number of things it's in.

I've never had truffles or truffle oil. Does it taste like good mushrooms?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Truffle oil is a modern culinary ingredient added to foods, which is intended to impart the flavor and aroma of truffles to a dish. Most truffle oils are not, in fact, made from actual truffles, but are instead a synthetic product that combines a thioether (2,4-dithiapentane), one of numerous organic aromatics odorants found in real truffles, with an olive oil base. A few more expensive oils are alleged to be made from truffles or the by-products of truffle harvesting and production, though the flavor of truffles is difficult to capture in an oil.
"Their one-dimensional flavor is also changing common understanding of how a truffle should taste," Daniel Patterson complained in a New York Times article.

And it's irritating the because people assume that the outrageous price is due to the use of expensive truffles, but it's all chemical.

Rent a car and go see minor league baseball games for a week.
Or maybe Portland. You can go to cool brew pubs and comic book stores and Powells.
