What you have, Molto, is a disease. However, you are lucky as treatment of this disease is something I specialize in. I accept payment in American Express or truffles. :wink:

Were you allowed to sniff it ... deeply? How many servings of risotto would that white truffle cover, molto e?

I had the pleasure, for the first time, of having a golf ball-sized white truffle shaved over a bowl of risotto at Providence two nights ago. The flavor is subtle. And the smell ... straight from the earth ... :smile:
