Meh. The truffle fries at my local burger spot still taste good. As long as it doesn't kill me I'm not overly concerned.

  I sort of agree. To be clear, I don't think they should be charging extra and calling something "truffle oil" if it's got no truffle molecules in it, or "olive oil" if it's actually some other kind of vegetable oil. That should be prosecuted as false advertising. That said, we keep hearing news like this, where what we thought was high-end "gourmet" food is actually the same as the stuff on the middle or bottom shelves at the market. And yet, we've been eating and enjoying this stuff for years. As long as it's marketed and priced honestly, I've got no problem buying and eating the cheap stuff.

  French fries and popcorn are the only two allowable venues for truffle oil.

    Truffle salt and fresh grated parm is really nice on popcorn.

    Dunno man, the smell of gasoline really turns me off. Actually, that's not right. I find the smell of truffle oil similar to gasoline, but I like gasoline. Truffle oil turns my stomach around.
