So to divert the thread away from haggis. Tonight i will be noticeable (hopefully) by my absence. On the eve of Bastile day we have been invited to dinner.

It should be a typical french affair of 5 or 7 courses but i have no idea what will be served... It's a surprise. One thing for sure though, knowing our hosts it will be delicious.

If they'd have used Dordogne black truffle instead of the interior truffles from Italy then maybe, just maybe worth the price...

The process to create these elevated fries does not stop there. The fries are then seasoned with Guerande Truffle Salt which is hand-harvested from Guerande, France, and then the fries are tossed in Urbani Summer Truffle Oil. They are topped with shaved Crete Senesi Pecorino Tartufello made of milk from sheep that are grazed on the clay-rich hills of Crete Senesi and are then black truffles foraged from valleys and forests in Volterra and Miniato, Italy are added. The fries are also topped with shaved Black Summer Truffles from Umbria, Italy.

The "Creme de la Creme Pommes Frites" are served with an accompaniment of Mornay sauce made with Udder Cream, Black Truffle Butter, Gruyere Truffled Swiss Raclete.

The presentation is also quite the spectacle as the fries come on a Baccarat crystal Arabesque plate and bowl -- and are sprinkled with 23K edible gold dust!

Maybe it's some kind of front for a house of ill repute. People go in and order "French Fries" and pay $200 - yeah right. There's something shady going on, I'm sure.
There are people who think nothing of spending that
kind of money on food. I met a gal who once brought
a several thousand dollar bottle of wine on a blind date.

I see using "gourmet" and "artisan" as cheap marketing gimmicks wasn't enough.
I am willing to bet a lot of money science will not support people being able to notice enough of a difference to make things like "grazed on the clay-rich hills of Crete" with the extra cost or inclusion.

I just had an argument with mom. Not even sure what this one was over because she woke me up, being *****y and wanting some thing yesterday. Didn't happen, and it's all my fault, I didn't try hard enough, thanks for nothing. And then we argued over that one because she had other people to ask and other ways to go about this than yelling at her sleeping kid by barking out orders.

Meanwhile, the Proletarians are eating these fries:

And now my dad, failing to even try to understand me when I say I burn very easily here, tried to me he does as well. No. If he burned like me he'd be as red as a lobster and in the hospital as much time as he spends in the direct sunlight here wile the UV index is high. If he burned like me all he'd need is a few minutes to start turning red.
