It's the annual Fête de la Truffe in Sarlat this coming weekend. Karen and I will have to miss it this year, we're away visiting friends and family but there'll be other years. The weekly Saturday market will still continue to be perfumed with the scent of the 'Black Diamond' through 'til February - so there'll still be 'truffly' opportunities!
There's a cookery 'theatre', truffle hunting demonstrations and loads of fabulous atmosphere.
I've never tasted a truffle, although I hear about them all of the time on Food Network. lol Happy New Year Rob!
ReplyDeleteIt must be the Food Network I can pick up here on satellite. Happy New Year to you.
DeleteA most happy new year to you Rob - hope that it treats you, your loved ones and your garden kindly. Enjoy your time away and the truffles when you return.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Anna. I'll invest in a small truffle before the season ends, put slivers under the skin of a good chicken and poach it.
DeleteI have also never tasted truffle, one day!! Happy New Year Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane Happy New Year. Try one, then at least you been there, done it, got the T shirt etc...
DeleteOnly had truffle oil, and only a little of that. Sorry to hear you are missing this years event. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. Truffle oil is always a good way to add a 'truffly' hit.
DeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great time with your travels.
Thanks Freda. Happy New Year.
DeleteAh Rob, catching up on your wonderful blog has brightened my day up no end! Ruth and Laura would have loved those chocolate shoes!!!
ReplyDeleteA very belated Happy New Year to you both.
Happy New Year Liz
