Does truffle brownie count? The taste is rich and mellow, and there is a classic fried foie gras with truffle sauce. I don't know if I can't get used to western food or the wonderful taste of truffles. Anyway, I don't have the urge to eat after eating, and eating Chinese food feels very comfortable.

Because it is the representative food of French cuisine, it ranks with caviar and foie gras as the three most precious dishes in the world. Many people think that only France has it, but it is not. It should be said that the most important truffles are distributed in southwest France, and the best white truffles are produced in Piedmont, Italy. In recent years, truffles from Song Gang, a hungry American, have become more and more famous.

There are truffles in China, but I don't know when. There are several books in history that don't contain related words, and there may be truffles, but they are not recognized and eaten. In Song Dynasty, Chen mentioned a kind of "wheat mushroom" in Biography. This kind of mushroom "grows mostly in sandy soil and loose soil beside the stream, and tastes extremely beautiful, just like mushrooms". I wonder if it's truffles.

In the early days of scientists in the 1990s, scientists certified and confirmed the existence of "black truffles". This black truffle is called "Indian truffle" (or Himalayan truffle), which is not the same variety as French black truffle, but the genetic map analysis shows that the similarity is over 95%. On the phylogenetic tree, they belong to sisterhood. But as far as I know, Yunnan natives call it Toxoplasma gondii.

Auricularia auricula blocks are widely distributed in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places. As far as Yunnan is concerned, they are distributed in the pine forest zone at an altitude of1600-3200m. These places are located in the north of the first line in central Yunnan, and have the same Mediterranean climate as Provence in France. It rains in winter and the temperature is not high in summer. It is a karst terrain. The soil is alkaline, slightly weaker than Provence, but rich in lime, which is the most suitable environment for truffle growth, but the rainfall is not as good as that in France.

Another difference is that people grow in the roots of oak trees, while China truffles grow in the roots of pine trees, and locals basically don't eat them.
