Hey, everyone.
Dan here with the last sporkful reheat of 2024.
And, you know, it's the holiday season, but it's also truffle season.
And I think about this reheat all the time because I love truffles.
I eat them maybe once a year, maybe even once every other year.
Don't give me any truffle oil on your french fries, okay?
Like, that's not actually truffles.
It's like a synthetic compound, okay?
Truffles are special.
They're extremely expensive.
And that's why I only eat them, like, once a year or once every other year.
And when I do it, I do it right.
And at the same time, I think about this episode because we're gonna dive into the musky, expensive, and surprisingly cutthroat world of truffle buying and selling.
Now, I'm happy to report that Ian Prokayosta, the young, scrappy truffle vendor you'll hear from in this episode, is still selling truffles through his company, Regalis Foods.
They got a whole lot of other incredible specialty items too.
And Ian did publish a memoir called Truffle Boy.
Now, remember, if there's an episode of the Sporkful you want us to pull out of the deep freezer, let us know.
Send us an email or voice memo to helloporkful.com.
tell me your name, location, what episode you want us to reheat, and why.
Thanks so much and enjoy our final reheat of the year.
