Fresh, black truffle mushroom recipe ideas

http://www.enjoyfoiegras.com/products/truffles.html Recipe ideas for black truffle mushrooms/black winter truffles. Several cookbooks are shown with best truffle recipes for Perigord black truffles.

Perigord black truffles from France are in season late November through mid March, and usually reach their peak of maturity in January and February. Look for black truffle mushrooms that are black inside, with white veins, firm to touch; never spongy.

Black winter truffles are the only truffles that are best enjoyed heated or cooked. The heating process intensifies the wonderful truffle flavor and aroma that is unique to black winter truffles. All other popular truffle varieties such as Alba white truffles, burgundy truffles, and summer truffles are best served raw.

Black truffles last longer than white truffles, stored properly, fresh black truffles will last for a week to ten days. The black truffles should be wrapped in a paper towel and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The towel should be changed daily or as need to keep the truffles dry.

Wow never knew that about foiegras. Good job perpetuating the needless suffering of animals just because you find them delicious. Say if a golden retriever was tortured painfully and died, but was delicious, would be equally as cool with it?

Eating foiegras is simply eating the fatty liver of cruelly tortured ducks or geese. Each forced fed duck has to go trhough the pains of those tubes down its throat, forcing it to gulp down what is equal to at least 44 lbs of pasta at one serving to one human being! Banned this cruelty!

I'am hungry already. Cool music too!
