How I Celebrated

Ah chocolate truffles. I have had some pretty waxy ones in my time. I love the lindt ones, but this time we tried whatever the brand is we found at the dollar store. Very hit and miss, but much more adventurous. This was a hit, the chocolate was soft, smooth, and rich. The cocoa was strong and it did not taste waxy. Let's hope the stomach also enjoys it.

Diet Helpers

  The mushroom truffles are sugar free. Here is a recipe for a sugar free dessert truffle. Tuna is also gluten free.

History

 Punchbowl
I have only recently (like within the last year) learned what the actual fungus truffle was. I also only recently tasted it in umami burger. Not my favorite. Now I can understand why a chocolate truffle is called such, it looks like the ones that occur in nature.

Merchandise

A lot of pretty fish
