The tough task of pairing white truffles

The tough task of pairing white truffles

Frankly if you can afford white truffles (currently selling at about 2500 euros per kilo) you probably already have a substantial cellar to pick from but just so you don’t in any way detract from the pleasure of eating your investment let me tell you what the Piedmontese do.

Fonduta with white truffles and Barbera d’Alba

Posted on December 2 2013 at 07:38

There’s only one pairing I could focus on this week given that I was in Piemonte and that is white truffles. What was the best match? Incredibly hard to say!

Extraordinary to find a Picasso here, an El Greco there (not pictured, too excited) along with priceless Mediaeval art in the bodegas. Don’t remember this from my last visit but associating sherry with art is a good move I reckon especially when, like @bodegastradicion all your sherries are VORS (over 30 years old) and arguably old masters themselves. . . . #sherry #vors #art #picasso #paintings #artgalleries #jerez #copajerezI wouldn’t want you to get the impression I eat chips EVERY night of the week though this week’s insta certainly makes it look like it. Last night at @noahsbristol_ (look at that BATTER) along with some truly excellent tempura prawns. No it hasn’t escaped my notice that those were fried too but at least I shared them with @jessicabone. Really cracking cooking - another #bristol winner. . . . #chips #fishandchips #prawns #noahsbristol #seafood #bristolfood #eatlocalLove @freddybirdfood’s idea of a bar snack - deliciously smoky, herby lamb cutlets (to eat with your fingers) + a good dollop of Dijon mustard. Which we accompanied with very good frites and a glass of 2008 @domaine_tempier Bandol. Oh and we were #gifted a couple of prawn croquettes (paid for the rest). @littlefrench_bristol you get so much right 😍 . . #lambchops #chips #frenchfries #croquettes #bandol #domainetempier #finewine #barfood #bristolfood #littlefrench #bristolChicken’n’chips AND roasties @bebebob the new little brother of @bobbobricard. Also top notch chicken gravy. There may also have been champagne . . . #winnerwinnerchickendinner #guest . . . #chicken #roastchicken #rotisseriechicken #chickenandchips Follow on Instagram
