Some wanted pasta. Some liked the bone marrow agnolotti served with walnut pesto. I had a craving for the simplest egg tagliolini topped with shavings of white truffles.
It was a unanimous choice of Otto Ristorante for dinner. We were very specific with tonight's dinner. The dishes must all be topped with white truffle shavings.
When the little trolley was pushed out along with a little digital weighing scale, there was a collective gasp. Year after year, we do this. We dissolve into a frenzy over white truffles for a month. Tonight, we melted into little puddles at the sight of the beautiful white truffles (Alba).
I sighed a little contented sigh. Nothing beats a well-made dinner with white truffles in good company. That was our little pre-Thanksgiving dinner together. More please.

heaven's food i guess.
i have never tasted truffles.
I can smell truffles again... have a nice trip!
tuti: very pungent. it's the sort of stuff that you can try once to see if you like it! if not, then you won't have it again ever!
ice: you gotta go have it again and a third time (or more!) before the season ends! trip's going good. thanks!
