The trouble with fatted truffles is the fact we have to wait until this coming Saturday for the Truffled Pork Sausage! OH we suffer so. Man, just like last week, they’ve got tons of great items. From Saucisson Sec to … oh my gawd. I just saw something. Truffled Guinea Hen Terrine. YAR MATEY !!! AVAST YE PATE !! PREPARE TO BE BOARDED !!! Eeek, ya know. I was going to say something about getting some of the Hoffman Farm Quail with Boudin Blanc & Chestnuts, or whatever. But I can’t think right now. I’m going to curl up in to a fetal position and just mutter “Truffled Guinea Hen Terrine” until Saturday. You go read their newsletter, I gotta take a 10-100.

Have you noticed anything missing from our holiday reveries? We have celebrated the crepinettes, lauded the lardons, praised the pates, and practically tied you up and forced you to try our rillettes. (ooh! ow! real painful, and SO worth it, we know.) We want to be thorough, we want to be complete, we sit up nights (honestly!) wondering, wondering, if we have turned you on to every goodie in our bag. Are you down with duck? Are you friends with Fegatella? Are you angry about alliteration? Well, last night, after we FINALLY got to sleep, we had a dream. We won’t go into too much detail; let’s just say it involved two dirty pigs and a very funky odor. After a few moments of feeling a little ashamed, we realized the meaning of out dream: Truffles. We haven’t touted the truffles yet! And really, in the circles WE all run in, what is winter without that wonderfully aromatic knobbly little turd of a fungus? AND, just like you we see in a fanc y restaurant, we have Truffles Two Ways: Truffled Pork Sausage (use it as part of a stuffing, or grill and enjoy with potatoes or polenta), and Truffled Duck Liver Mousse (on an appetizer platter with cornichons, smeared thinly on a baguette for an incredible sandwich, you know the drill). C’mon, admit it; it’s what we all dream about.
