It looks expensive at first glance, but remember you’re getting some free rice as well.

This is from my hometown Palm Beach Gardens unless there is more than one Carmines. This place is always packed with people willing to pay way too much for groceries, esp in snowbird season. Has a trattoria next door also, you can buy some pretty good slices from it at this market, one of the better spots for pizza if you can deal with the crowds.

Would using that rice yield any residual flavor?

Seems like an extremely vulnerable way to stock a product that costs over a thousand dollars. Are there armed guards just out of view or something?

I walked into a fancy spot like that in Manhattan once and saw fresh black truffles just sitting out like produce with a tiny sign saying $800 a pound which felt insane for something that looks like dirty rocks. Ended up buying a small one anyway to shave over pasta at home and yeah it elevated the whole dish but I still question if it was worth skipping a few dinners out. Places in rich areas pull this off because people drop cash without blinking.

The thing with truffles is that the flavour starts to decay the moment it is harvested. After 3 to 5 days the flavour already halved. Any older than that and it will taste weak.Â
You will never find anything as fresh as what the restaurants get and shouldn’t be buying from shops unless you trust the truffles were harvested a day or 2 ago and you are using it that night.Â
Also, personal opinion, truffles are overrated.Â

That shit is begging to get stolen. I needed cheap work socks so I went to Walmart and they had that shit under lock and key, but this is just sitting there…

I swear to God these truffles better be goddamn euphoria inducing at these prices. Easier to just buy crack at that point.

Why is $1000 truffles look so easy for a child to shoplift lmao

It would be cheaper to by a pig and find one.

I’ve never eaten a truffle but there’s no way it can be worth that price. This is conspicuous consumption.

The expensive truffle is my rent payment.

Thanks for posting this. Been trying to tell my dog she needs to learn to sniff out truffles and she has always ignored me…maybe once I show her this pic and she sees how many balls and treats she could get for one truffle she’ll come around…

Wow, what happens if they still have it in stock on the expiration date? Do they mark it down, or toss it, or maybe just use it in the truffle potato salad at the deli?

So, it’s worth $600 until the due date, then it’s got to be thrown out right? Strange how a couple days can be a difference of $600!

I prefer the round Lindt chocolate truffles myself.

At least it comes with a free cup of rice.

Isn’t the shelf life of white truffles like 7 days? Thats pissing hundreds of dollars away for what

A two week shelf life on those things? They’ve got to be throwing away a fortune constantly.
Also, how are razors behind locked glass but these just sit on a shelf?

Lot of trust there
At least you get some free rice with it
