If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

So I shouldn't order any for my birthday present to myself? That and the salt were on my list, since I totally forgot about it for Christmas. I guess I shouldn't be apologizing to Maryann about now, either....LOL! The oil and salt were supposed to be part of our presents, as well as the gift for Ashley's BF, but I forgot to order it!

Weigh in here Jean, Lorraine (and Gil), and Sharon....I now at least you use it!

Hang in there, Maryann. Since I don't know the difference....the truffle oil may be fine. It's not like I'll ever have 500 dollars worth of truffles in the fridge on a regular basis, or ever! I'm thinking the oil would make for a nice experience....even if it wasn't real. It's not like I'd know the difference....LOL!

Roy Rogers just got up, so will have to read this article later and comment. Hope they aren't knocking infused truffle oil OR salt - it's great!
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

FWIW, I use both truffle oil and truffle butter and love the results.To my plebeian taste, it adds a lovely flavor to TJ's microwave ready fingerling potatoes or frozen veggies. Then again I like marshmallow fluff on hot fudge sundaes too, so you might take my taste with a grain of salt. Trader Joe's used to carry some I like. I have that an WS which I don't like as well.

I had the best deconstructed beef wellington at a restaurant in Redondo Beach for my son's birthday. They served a couple of small scoops of truffled mashed potatoes (either oil or butter, not the real thing, I'm sure) on a phyllo pastry shell with the fillet on top and lightly sauteed wild mushrooms on top of the steak. It was a beautiful presentation and better that the real thing imho. The whole dish was light and tasty. I plan to try to recreate it. So I don't plan to throw away my truffle oil or butter. Just my .02

Several good opinions here, but Daphne's hit home. It's not like WE would ever know the difference anyway, so it would be a nice flavor addition for whatever we used it for.

I love my infused truffle oil. It's what I put on risotto or a baked potato...great finisher to a dish.

I can't open the article.

The Oregon Truffle Festival is coming up. Hmmmmmm. Might have to think about that. BTW - not giving up my truffle oil, truffle salt, or truffle butter!!! Unless it causes breast cancer - then I might think about it.
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
