The "truffle fever" in France reached its peak in the19th century. At that time, literati, gourmets and dignitaries all took tasting truffles as a fashion, and people from all walks of life praised truffles with the grandest rhetoric: Dumas described truffles as "the most sacred food in the eyes of gourmets", Bria Savarin called them "diamonds in the kitchen world", and French-made black truffles still exist today.
During the "truffle fever" period, the most popular dish was truffle turkey, which is almost lost now. At the same time, this luxurious ingredient is also used in almost any dish, from celebrities to housewives vying for truffles. People can't help but wonder whether this almost crazy pursuit is caused by the charm of truffles or the self-esteem of fashion gourmets who are unwilling to lag behind.
Black truffle is a kind of wild edible fungus that grows underground, also known as truffle and myrtle. Its appearance is uneven, its color is between dark brown and black, and it is small and convex, covered with gray or light black and white texture, and its smell is special. At present, it is mainly distributed in a few mountainous areas.
