http://FXcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=131Stuffing a bread with white truffles is not cheap, but boy is that good! en-usWed, 22 Apr 2026 00:16:53 GMTFXcuisine.com5 Hey FX,Thanks again for your beautiful blog!  I just bought my first white Alba truffle as a present for a chef friend.  It was a fortune, but worth it to see the look on his face.I love this line of yours: If friends worthy of the expense of this dish are hard to come by, do not hesitate to eat it alone.It made me think of one of my favorite quotes from the Buddhist classic, the Dhammapada:"If you find a friend who is good, wise, and loving, walk with him all the way and overcome all dangers.If you cannot find a friend who is good, wise, and loving, walk alone, like a king who has renounced his kingdom or an elephant roaming at will in the forest. It is better to be alone than to live with the immature. Be contented, and walk alone like an elephant roaming in the forest." Wishing you a wonderful New Year filled with friends worthy of truffles...Sarahhttp://FXcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=131Thu, 27 Dec 2007 23:11:01 GMT Clive, amazing that you tried my humble recipe and that it worked for you! Having appraised your qualities as a cook first-hand I have no doubt the rest was just as fine. Happy Christmas from the land of your ancestors!http://FXcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=131Tue, 25 Dec 2007 10:44:26 GMT François, you know my love affair with truffles. I tried this out yesterday with a rustic  Portuguese "pao" and it was divine. I didn"t have fleur de sel to hand so I used the Algarve equivalent, sparingly as it"s quite robust. This was a test run for a Christmas dinner starter; only thing is will the rest of the meal live up to it?http://FXcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=131Sun, 23 Dec 2007 08:25:09 GMT Arthur thank you for your comment! I personally guarantee that just looking at the picture does not increase risks of heart diseases. Hope to see you around!http://FXcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=131Wed, 12 Dec 2007 09:11:39 GMT Ah, yes, expensive dishes are difficult to serve. Friends might be worthy but then wonder about the occasion or be wary of inviting you again by fear of not being up to standards. Much better to eat the truffle alone when in doubt.http://FXcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=131Wed, 12 Dec 2007 09:07:50 GMT "If friends worthy of the expense of this dish are hard to come by, do not hesitate to eat it alone."An absolute gem of a line!
