If you could only eat ONE food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
That's one of those questions that was on every "get to know you" questionaire from kindergarten through some of the Liebster posts I've seen. And usually the response is: steak, mac & cheese, pizza- you know, the typical stuff.
Naht me.
I used to be a "steak. definitely" person but now, it's fries. Yes, if I could eat ONE THING and ONLY ONE THING for the REST OF MY DAYS, I would eat fries. Not just any fries tho; truffle fries. With parmesan and a tiny bit of parsley.
Not kidding guys, this shit is BOSS. I order it EVERYWHERE. I base my desicion on where we will be going out to eat on if they serve truffle fries or not. OR if I think I can get them to make them for me even if they aren't on the menu. (most places will if they can so askkkkk)
I usually take pictures of when I order them because I <3 them so much. And here is a little collage for you.
I also mentioned them in this post as a way to act super prententious but they are so fucking good I don't care. I also just bought this tiny bottle fom amazon because I want truffles on everything and will try to make that happen.
Truffles themselves are gross looking. They are a fungus after all. They have an "earthy" taste so kindaaa like mushrooms? That's what people say at least, I just say they're delicious.
But the best part is this: guess how they harvest them?! TRUFFLE PIGS!
Legit. They train pigs to sniff them out and uncover them! (they grow underground) and they are even better than the trained dogs who do the same job
This one is fantastic cuz he thinks he's a puppy |
My dream is to move to move to France (where truffles are) get a tea cup pig, and call him T.P. (aka Truffle Pig aka Tiny Porker) and Lil and T.P. would be best friends and we'd be rich cuz truffles are pricey as fuck.
So if you've never had truffle fries ORDER THEM. They're life changing. And anything else on a menu that has truffle or truffle oil, order that too. And then send me the left overs (if there are any)
Also I've just made myself so hungry for them that I will in fact be going to the restaurant directly below our apartment (one of the places that don't have them on the menu) and getting some after my mani appointment.
I've never heard of truffle fries! Not sure I'd like them but hell, I'll give 'em a go ;)
ReplyDeletePs this was the most hated question of mine on those MySpace bulletins... Wow, am I dating myself by saying that?
I've only had truffle fries once and they were divine... I can understand why you love them!
ReplyDeleteNever tried them, but if I ever see them, I will have to try them now. I have seen things on finding truffles. So funny! I have seen the dogs do it, but never the pigs.

I learned about truffle pigs from The Simpsons, oddly enough. And I remember reading Gossip Girl and Blair ordered truffle mac'n'cheese. I've never been able to have anything with them myself though :(
ReplyDeleteI've only had them once too and they were soo freaking good. Although if I ate them every day I'd be a hot gassy mess. Cute. I may have to steal this post topic! Love it!
ReplyDeletefries are my worst weakness. i ALWAYS order them. like oh cool ill have a spinach salad... and a side of fries.
ReplyDeleteworst.
You live above a restaurant?!? How cool! I've never had truffle fries and I had never heard of them until I started blogging. I don't think we have any restaurants that serve them around here. Sad face.
ReplyDeleteI've never had truffle fries, but I've had truffle mac and cheese and I could probably eat that and only that for a week straight! So dang delicious!
ReplyDeleteSCHWAT! I had no idea about truffle pigs -how cool is that! Tuffle oil just moved up another point (although I didn't htink it could).
ReplyDeletethis is so funny. I want to come visit you in france but mostly to see TP! I have never had truffle fries because I am afraid my addiction would be out of control. I love truffle anything though so one of these days it will happen.
ReplyDeleteHOLY YUM! I am with you I could eat french fries all day everyday!
ReplyDeleteOkay- sometime when you come to Boston we are going to the Intercontinental Hotel and getting truffle fries. I also get sushi when I'm there but I don't know if you eat that :)
ReplyDeleteUhmmmm yes I need some of these NOW
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, I was really fat, but hated fries. Seriously, this is truth. Then I lost a bunch of weight and now basically the only thing I want to eat is fries. Fries all day. All day fries. Which is problematic. None of this makes sense to me. I'm also not sure why I'm telling you.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, where is your favorite place to get truffle fries?
AMEN (really, any kind of fries, but truffle fries are the best). I think your truffle pig dream is completely reasonable.
ReplyDeleteTruffle fries are french fries sent straight from heaven. There is a place we like that serves them with red pepper aioli and it is like heaven in your mouth.
ReplyDeleteI like T.P. he is a perfect blog mascot and bud for Lil.
ehrmergerd PLEASE go get a mini pig and then I can come visit you and Lil and T.P. and we can all be best friends forever.
ReplyDeleteI've never had truffle fries though so please don't hate me.
I want some fries now, please. Alll day errday! lol
ReplyDeletestop it. make the truffle go away!!!!!!!! ;) the fries can stay though.
ReplyDeleteI love truffle fries!!! ...And that pig.
ReplyDeleteHahah omg two weekends ago I had a golden potato that was doubled baked with TRUFFLE OIL! perfect. love it.
ReplyDeleteLast night I almost pulled over because I swore I saw a tiny baby pig on the side of the road! Turns out it was a weird shaped pinkish chihuahua. I really wish it was a pig though. I'd send it to you!
ReplyDeleteI love fries! Never had truffle fries but I'm sure I would love them.
ReplyDeleteI love me some Truffle Fries. There's a place in the city called Flex Mussels that makes an amazing batch of TF!
ReplyDeleteyes yes yes to fries. I have such a horrible love/hate relationships with them
ReplyDeletei've never had truffle fries, but last night i had some amazing garlic fries with this yummy honey mustard sauce....i'd say pizza to the question of what to eat....you can put fries on the pizza ;)
