Truffles must come to the table in their own stock and as you break open this jewel sprung from a poverty-stricken soil, imagine - if you have never visited it - the desolate kingdom where it rules. ~ Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
Truffles quotes by Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
She did not believe he was a monster. He was not a monster, to her. Probably he had some endearing trait: he whistled, offkey, in the shower, he had a yen for truffles, he called his dog Liebchen and made it sit up for little pieces of raw steak. How easy it is to invent a humanity, for anyone at all. What an available temptation. ~ Margaret Atwood
Truffles quotes by Margaret Atwood
Chocolate is maybe my only vice. In particular, Godiva's champagne truffles. Or Dean & Deluca vanilla cupcakes. Just thinking about them - oh my gosh! ~ Shilpa Shetty
Truffles quotes by Shilpa Shetty
It's true that all men are pigs. The trick is to tame one who knows how to find truffles. ~ Lev L. Spiro
Truffles quotes by Lev L. Spiro
Next is a box of truffles from Godiva and then a gift certificate from Victoria's Secret for an unknown amount. It's made out to my boobs, which Alex officially asks on a date. ~ Helena Hunting
Truffles quotes by Helena Hunting
The cells were referred to as Truffles because they were underground, rare, and valuable, because you never could tell where they might appear next, and because pigs and dogs were employed to sniff them out. ~ Margaret Atwood
Truffles quotes by Margaret Atwood
The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq. ~ Dennis Miller
Truffles quotes by Dennis Miller
We don't care to eat toadstools that think they are truffles. ~ Mark Twain
Truffles quotes by Mark Twain
Any punishment was his catnip.
The evil fucker was a sadistic freak who preyed on the weak foraging out their flaws like a pig with truffles and flicking at them until they broke apart. ~ V. Theia
Truffles quotes by V. Theia
In fine, the truffle is the very diamond of gastronomy. ~ Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Truffles quotes by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
The burnished gold of the crusts, the fragrance of sugar and cinnamon they exuded, were but preludes to the delights released from the interior when the knife broke the crust; first came a spice-laden haze, then chicken livers, hard boiled eggs, sliced ham, chicken and truffles in masses of piping hot, glistening macaroni, to which the meat juice gave an exquisite hue of suede. ~ Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa
Truffles quotes by Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa
Presently, we were aware of an odour gradually coming towards us, something musky, fiery, savoury, mysterious, - a hot drowsy smell, that lulls the senses, and yet enflames them, - the truffles were coming. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Truffles quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything! ~ Bryan Cranston
Truffles quotes by Bryan Cranston
Ma kept the alcohol for company in the dining room china cabinet. All the sweet after-dinner liqueurs nestle there together. But there is one bottle she never knew about right here in the kitchen. I reach deep into the cabinets and remove Dad's hidden bottle of Lagavulin. I set a tumbler on the counter and pour him two fingers of scotch. 'This is a tumbler, watch it tumble,' he said. The golden brown liquid, more gold than brown, somewhere between weak tea and apple juice. I stare at it. Nothing.
Out loud I say, "This is a tumbler, watch it tumble," an incantation or a toast or both, and drink it down.
It's like drinking a handful of matches. It burns and then smokes. I fight back a cough. There's a note of something deep and earthy, like beets or truffles, which then vanishes, leaving only a palate seared clean. ~ Jael McHenry
Truffles quotes by Jael McHenry
I enjoyed retirement the right way ... linguine con vongole, red wine and plenty of truffle cheese. ~ Craig Kilborn
Truffles quotes by Craig Kilborn
Her gingerbread keeps and keeps. It outlasts all daintier gifts. Flowers wilt and shed mottled petals, mold blooms greenish-white on chocolate truffles, and Harriet's gingerbread hunkers down in its tin, no more attractive than the day it arrived, but no more repellent either. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Truffles quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
Sometimes the buzz of reading about others eating comes from the voyeuristic thrill of seeing how the other half lives: the gold leaf and truffles or - in the case of Trimalchio's feast in Petronius' 'Satyricon' - the dormice and honey. ~ Bee Wilson
Truffles quotes by Bee Wilson
And on the endless dusty ribbon of the highway, on sunken roads vaulted over by branches, on paths between stands of grain that rose to his knees, the sun on his shoulders and the morning air in his nostrils, his heart full of the night's bliss, his spirit at peace and his flesh content, he would ride on his way ruminating his happiness, like someone who keeps savoring, hours later, the fragrance of the truffles he has eaten for dinner. ~ Gustave Flaubert
Truffles quotes by Gustave Flaubert
An artist is like a pig snouting truffles. ~ Igor Stravinsky
Truffles quotes by Igor Stravinsky
The brain is not nourished on beans and truffles but rather the food manages to reconstitute the molecules of the brain once it has been turned into homogeneous and assimilable substances, which potentially have the "same nature", as the molecules of the brain ~ Antonio Gramsci
Truffles quotes by Antonio Gramsci
his mind at rest, his flesh at ease, he went on, re-chewing his happiness, like those who after dinner taste again the truffles which they are digesting. ~ Anonymous
Truffles quotes by Anonymous
she felt as out of place as a meatball in a box of truffles. ~ Kristen Painter
Truffles quotes by Kristen Painter
Even the most astute chefs seek out the assistance of Celine Labaune, owner of Gourmet Attitude, because they know they can rely on her keen senses and deep understanding of the truffle trade. ~ Thomas Keller
Truffles quotes by Thomas Keller
These $40 burgers with foie gras and truffles and all of that flies in the face of one of the most proletarian foods around. It's overpriced, overdone and just not worth it. ~ Adam Richman
Truffles quotes by Adam Richman
I have had, in my time, memorable meals of scrambled eggs with fresh truffles, scrambled eggs with caviar and other glamorous things, but to me, there are few things as magnificent as scrambled eggs, pure and simple, perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. ~ James Beard
Truffles quotes by James Beard
The scampi tasted sweet like a lobster fed only on honey and it cut into the deep undertone of flavor deposited on the taste buds by the truffles. ~ Pat Conroy
Truffles quotes by Pat Conroy
A connoisseur of gastronomy was congratulated on his appointment as a director of indirect contributions at Periguex: and, above all, in the pleasure there would be in living in the midst of good cheer, in the country of truffles, partridges, truffled turkeys, and so forth. "Alas!" replied with a sigh the sad gastronomer, "can one really live at all in a country where there is no fresh sea-fish?" ~ Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Truffles quotes by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Why, oh why, must we always go through pigs to get our truffles? ~ James St. James
Truffles quotes by James St. James
He heard the swishing of her skirts as she approached. God above! Could she not leave well enough alone? 'There is another thing I wished to ask you,' she said as she sat across from him - sat down in his presence without so much as a by-your-leave. Now, *this* deserved a sharp word. He opened his mouth, but she beat him to it, leaning across the chiffonier to whisper, 'By any chance, did you consume five pounds of truffles last week?'
What in God's name? 'No.'
'I thought not.' She plucked off her eyeglasses, revealing eyes a startling shade of light blue. He abruptly forgot what he'd been about to say. She was polishing the lenses with her sleeve as she continued to speak. The words might as well have been gibberish.
Her eyes were the precise shade of the sky over his garden this past summer ...
She replaced the spectacles on her nose, the glare of her lenses masking the miracles behind them. ~ Meredith Duran
Truffles quotes by Meredith Duran
We made close to forty boxes today. Fifteen truffles (still selling well), but also a batch of coconut squares, some sour cherry gobstoppers, some bitter-coated orange peel, some violet creams, and a hundred or so lunes de miel, those little discs of chocolate made to look like the waxing moon, with her profile etched in white against the dark face.
It's such a delight to choose a box, to linger over the shape- will it be heart shaped, round, or square? To select the chocolates with care; to see them nestled between the folds of crunchy mulberry-colored paper; to smell the mingled perfumes of cream, caramel, vanilla, and dark rum; to choose a ribbon; to pick out a wrapping; to add flowers or paper hearts; to hear the silky whisssh of rice paper against the lid- ~ Joanne Harris
Truffles quotes by Joanne Harris
When the truffles arrived the paintings leaned off the wall toward them. ~ Stephanie Danler
Truffles quotes by Stephanie Danler
I was debating what I might have in my deep glassy lake to use - Barrons had slurped down my crimson runes like truffles - when Ryodan called down, "Let her up."
I tipped my head back. The urbane owner of the largest den of sex, drugs, and exotic thrills in the city stood behind the chrome balustrade, big hands closed on the chrome railing, thick wrists cuffed by silver, features darkened by a convenient shadow. He looked like a scarred Gucci model. Whatever kind of life these men had lived before they'd become whatever they were, it had been violent and hard. Like them.
"Why?" Lor demanded.
"I said so."
"Not time for the meeting yet."
"She wants to see her parents. She's going to insist."
"So?"
"She thinks she has something to prove. She's feeling pushy."
"Gee, this is nice. I don't even have to talk," I purred. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Truffles quotes by Karen Marie Moning
It's not exactly under the radar, but when I'm in London, I love to visit Liberty. It's my favorite department store, and they have a room entirely dedicated to chocolate and truffles. ~ Ashley Madekwe
Truffles quotes by Ashley Madekwe
Nobody knows the truffles I've seen. ~ George Lang
Truffles quotes by George Lang
Harper's face was buried in Mr. Truffle's fur and with each inhalation she smelled the last nine months of his secret cat life: must, dust, grave dirt, basements and tall grass, beach and drainpipe, Dumpster and dandelions. The ~ Joe Hill
Truffles quotes by Joe Hill
It is important to work with purveyors who share our high standards and are discriminating about the products they supply. This has been the foundation of a long and loyal relationship with Gourmet Attitude, a supplier that has helped us offer our guests some of the highest quality imported truffles available in the U.S. ~ David Breeden
Truffles quotes by David Breeden
One has a nose. The nose scents and it chooses. An artist is simply a kind of pig snouting truffles. ~ Igor Stravinsky
Truffles quotes by Igor Stravinsky
Sometimes love doesn't come to us. We have to go out hunting. It's like pigs looking for truffles. It's called dating. ~ Patti LuPone
Truffles quotes by Patti LuPone
If I can't have too many truffles, I'll do without truffles. ~ Colette
Truffles quotes by Colette
A fan without a team is like a hog without truffles - she has nothing to root for. ~ Carol Tavris
Truffles quotes by Carol Tavris
A couple of years ago my sister Judy and I were each given a box of truffles. The tiny print said two pieces contained 310 calories and there were six pieces in each box. We were sitting on the bus headed downtown, quietly doing our calculations: Judy was dividing by two and I was multiplying by three. When she realized what I was doing, a look came over her face that is hard to describe. 'I lost all hope for you' she says now. ~ Abigail Thomas
Truffles quotes by Abigail Thomas
It was the greatest thing in the world getting fat. Every meal out was an event. Or we'd go to Italy and we'd have pasta, truffles, and dessert and then plan the next incredible meal. It was a happy-go-lucky time. I never had so much fun. ~ Kirstie Alley
Truffles quotes by Kirstie Alley
Ah now, that's manners for you," said the little figure, who wore a large, floppy hat and a large, flappy overcoat. "Is there more? he says, as if it were poached quail's eggs and smoked gazelle and truffles, not just a mushrump, what tastes more or less like something what's been dead for a week and a cat wouldn't touch. Manners. ~ Neil Gaiman
Truffles quotes by Neil Gaiman
Choices are funny things-ask a native tribe that's eaten grubs and roots forever if they're unhappy, and they'll shrug. But give them filet mignon and truffle sauce and then ask them to go back to living off the land, and they will always be thinking of that gourmet meal. If you don't know there's an alternative, you can't miss it. ~ Jodi Picoult
Truffles quotes by Jodi Picoult
The onion is the truffle of the poor. ~ Robert J. Courtine
Truffles quotes by Robert J. Courtine
The Challons' cook and kitchen staff had outdone themselves with a variety of dishes featuring spring vegetables and local fish and game. Although the cook back home at Eversby Priory was excellent, the food at Heron's Point was a cut above. There were colorful vegetables cut into tiny julienne strips, tender artichoke hearts roasted with butter, steaming crayfish in a sauce of white burgundy and truffles, and delicate filets of sole coated with crisp breadcrumbs. Pheasant covered with strips of boiled potatoes that had been whipped with cream and butter into savory melting fluff. Beef roasts with peppery crackled hides were brought out on massive platters, along with golden-crusted miniature game pies, and macaroni baked with Gruyère cheese in clever little tart dishes. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Truffles quotes by Lisa Kleypas
He's so empty. They tried to stitch him back together, but too much already fell out. Stars and buttons and caramel truffles. ~ C.G. Drews
Truffles quotes by C.G. Drews
I love black truffles. I love white truffles. ~ Fergie
