PollDo you like Truffle?
92 votes
I love the flavor of truffle, but both my parents find it to be too strong. My father especially scrunches his face at the aroma.
EDIT: Truffles are a particular mushroom that grow underground beneath trees. They can only be hunted, not farmed, as the exact requirements they need to form are too hard to replicate by human means. They are a culinary delicacy, and are one of the world’s most expensive ingredients per pound. With that being said, a little bit goes a long way, as they have a distinct potent aroma and earthy umami taste.
I'm just picturing someone laying in the grass like they're in combat, watching special mushrooms through the scope of a fancy wildlife net. After a swift pull of the trigger, she did it! She bagged a truffle!
Then when she proudly shows it off to her wife, they have a long talk about whether they should mount the truffle onto the wall of the den, or if they should eat it.
Love your little fanfic!
