Is truffle oil worth it?
I adore truffles but cannot really afford them. Is truffle oil a good 2nd best or is it just a pale mockery of the original? I had a wonderful truffle infused mushroom soup in Paris and would love to try to make it at home. Should I wait until my ship comes in?

Instead of truffle oil, I say get some (a super little bit goes a VERY long way) black truffle salt and use that. I had a teensy container of it that lasted 2 years ( and i used it on everything!)
