We visited the market in Perigueux with our Thanksgiving visitors. That market is always lively, particularly as the holidays approach. There is a section reserved for all things duck and goose and a section devoted to truffles (the fungi not the chocolate). We purchased 2 small truffles for 15 euros and looked forward to a feast. Truffles are very fragrant so it is best to store them in something that will absord their scent such as eggs or rice. We planned on omlettes later in the week so we stored the truffles in a bowl of fresh farm eggs.
The first meal we cooked was a simple one: truffle shaved over tagliatelle with some olive oil and butter. Delicious!
