My Thanksgiving “thing” is truffle mashed potatoes with shallots–last year, though, I used up the last of my truffles I’d been gifted from a relative’s European vacation. Where can I buy locally? In the past I’ve had whole black truffles in jars with a bit of oil, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the way up.
Monsieur marcel at the Farmer Marker has both whole black truffles and whole white truffles ($129/oz) yesterday. I also like their bresaola and Jamón ibérico, both sliced paper thin to order.
