: Two references and a comment:

I appreciate your references, but I am unsure if I should be quoting more
than 200 words at a time from the work of these authors in a FAQ without
asking their permission - and as I only have so much time to volunteer to
this unpaid project, I would as soon not muck about with snail mail to 
publishers who may not even be in this country.

But I will be very happy to include the reference portions of your post 
in a new section that just occurred to me, a "Truffle Bibliography".  :)  
Many thanks.


: Are you sure you were tasting a "Perigord white" truffle? 

Naaah, I botched up.  I meant "Piedmont".  I think I must have been
sniffing a little too much truffle juice when I made the post.  ;/

PS - Oliveto's restaurant in Oakland, California is having its annual
white truffle dinner sometime in November - yum!  Get reservations at 510
547 4624, and get them early - this event is too damn good to miss.  Chef
Paul Bertolli is a serious food artisan, and when his talent is combined
with absolutely fresh white truffles flown in from Italy the day before
the event, the results are phenomenal. 

Regards,

Tanith
