Am I just a philistine? I sincerely don't get why this is basically put on nearly everything in haute cuisine. And I'm not just talking truffle oils or using it for aroma, I see people cutting up huge chunks of this stuff and throwing it into sauces or just chucking it on the plate. They taste like literally like dirt.

Because they taste fucking delicious. If you don't like truffle you don't have a refined enough palette for good food, enjoy your tendies though. Truffle oil is garbage and anyone who says it's nice is retarded.

It's the new parsley. Remember when every place would throw a parsley sprig on the plate?
Henry Cox
nah hes right, your refined palette shit is the same emperor has no clothes bullshit that drives these food trends and others like gluten

Some people don't like musky tasting stuff. I love mushrooms and such but I get why people dislike stuff that tastes like dirt.
Samuel Hughes
Yeah, I remember it being a big deal in the 1860s.

>truffle oil is garbage
OP was talking about the portion sizes you retard
Kayden White
It was around in shitty US diners well through the 80's and 90's.
Wyatt Reed
Note how everyone who has ever tried to describe truffles just calls the flavor "earthy" aka like dirt.

Why is cooking the only profession where non-professionals think they know better than professionals just because they make Mac and cheese every Tuesday at home?
Bentley Jones
>the only profession
not true at all
and if someone doesn't like something, the chef isn't right for insinuating that they actually do
Andrew Ward
Wtf are you talking about I get retards that worked at the IT helpdesk for a summer that talk shit to people with 30 years of industry experience. People are just dumb, it's not limited to a single field.

it isn't
>I see people cutting up huge chunks of this stuff and throwing it into sauces or just chucking it on the plate.
no you don't
>They taste like literally like dirt.
no, they don't. they taste like very concentrated mushroom.
Angel Murphy
Mushrooms taste like earthy, kinda like dirt.
Anthony Harris
they don't taste like dirt. have you eaten dirt? just because they grow on and sometimes have dirt on them, doesn't mean they taste like dirt. eat some dirt and then you will see that mushrooms do not in fact taste like dirt.
Luke Lee
Yeah, anyone who has worked earth has tasted it by mistake. Kinda tastes like mushrooms.
Andrew Bailey
People with pig genes enjoy truffles.
Cameron Hughes
no they don't, stop being stubborn, you sound retarded
Elijah Carter
>dirt's distinctive taste is due to fungi in the soil
>"fungi don't taste like dirt!"
Cameron Johnson
dirt's taste is due to a ridiculously huge diversity of stuff. the 'earthy' taste people identify is probably due to geosmin, which is present in mushrooms, but nowhere near as much in your standard shroom as, say, in the skin of a beet
Jacob Sanders
I guess saffron tastes like dirt too you fucking pleb
Jeremiah Peterson
>refined
>says palette instead of palate
Joshua Hall

Dominic Bennett
Because using overpriced shrooms makes you a better cook
Benjamin Perez
You're such a pleb. I'm so highfalluting that I fertilize a bathtub of beluga caviar before eating it.
Carter Taylor
Probably because they're not real truffles, they're some identical species from China that have none of the taste and all of the dirt
Worst of all, you have people importing them to Europe and trying to pass them off as good quality European truffles
