Truffles Quotations

These $40 burgers with foie gras and truffles and all of that flies in the face of one of the most proletarian foods around. It's overpriced, overdone and just not worth it.

You gotta have swine to show you where the truffles are.

My truffles? You took them? That's just mean!

In fine, the truffle is the very diamond of gastronomy.

The truffle is not a positive aphrodisiac, but it can upon occasion make women tenderer and men more apt to love.

Know why certain foods, such as truffles, are expensive. It's not because they taste best.

I love black truffles. I love white truffles.

I love eggs. When it's the season of truffles, scrambled eggs with truffles, and I'm happy. I'm smiling like that.

Sometimes the buzz of reading about others eating comes from the voyeuristic thrill of seeing how the other half lives: the gold leaf and truffles or - in the case of Trimalchio's feast in Petronius' 'Satyricon' - the dormice and honey.
