Luxury item: Truffle Oil

I am currently trying not to spend too much money (who isn't, I guess). After another afternoon spent wandering through shops without buying a single thing, I did decide to treat myself to a luxury item on my grocery round. Some truffle oil.

I have only recently acquired a taste for these most infamous of mushrooms and have never actually cooked with this ingredient myself...

The first thing I tried was popcorn with parmesan and truffle oil. A very nice combination but the optics still have to be tinkered with... I will present a recipe as soon as it is worthy.

Other things I can't wait to try:

- Pasta with egg yolk, parmesan and a little truffle oil
- Scrambled eggs with truffle oil
- Risotto al tartufo

I guess anything eggy or creamy is on the list.

One thing I have to gripe about though: This packaging is the worst. Considering the product within is meant to be doled out in very homeopathic doses, you would think the producer would manufacture something to that end. Instead one is confronted with a container that cannot drizzle but only pour and leaves a good bit of the strong smelling contents stuck to the side, however you try not to... Definitely one thing to be mindful of in case you were thinking about investing into something like this.
