I got drunk on truffles. You read that right. I GOT DRUNK ON TRUFFLES.
That’s not meant to be a metaphor. The truffles I ate were infused with brandy. Taking a bite literally felt like taking a shot of the hard stuff. It made my belly warm, my mouth happy and me tipsy.
I’m what you might call a “lightweight”.
When in Victoria, British Columbia, this new novel idea was presented to me in the shop Chocolatiere de Victoria as I sniffed for truffles. I had never seen them with alcohol and there were so many options! I wanted one of everything! Be aware, that is pretty typical of me when I’m in *any* truffle shop… One of everything!
In this case, Chocolatiere de Victoria, you got me. Well, you got me pretty buzzed anyway. I think I’ll stick to your “virgin” truffles from now on.
Be honest, it was no accident… 😏
What was no accident? Eating too many booze filled truffles?
Yep
Eating, no. Getting that buzzed feeling. Total accident.
I’m heading over to visit my brother in Victoria so I’ll have to try these, but maybe just one😜
Ha! As I said, I’m a bit of a lightweight. There are a TON of truffle shops over there. It’s like my personal heaven!
I’m a lightweight too. It’s just nice to have an idea of one to try
I’d definitely recommend the brandy truffle then!
Ok I’ll keep that in mind
Hope you enjoy it!
What you didn’t get the recipe?
I bought them from a shop, so no, unfortunately there is no recipe. They’d be fun to make though wouldn’t they?
Heck yes!!!!! I was just kidding..lol
Lol, I’m such a sucker for truffles, I really do wish I had a recipe now!
Me too!
They are hard to resist!
Adding this to my list of NEED TO GO THERE NOW
I definitely have no regrets! 🙂
Cooo, post us a truffle to Scotland! Haha. They do shortbread and tablet really well up here. But that’s it, sweet wise.
I have a Scottish auntie who makes shortbread every year. That’s delicious stuff 🙂
Wow! Can’t believe there was enough alcohol in there to get you tipsy lol looks & sounds wonderful. 🙂
There really did feel like there was a shot in every truffle. The man kindly remarked that maybe we should stop eating them. Lol
LOL!
Knowing me, if I ever go back I’d probably want more. I’ve totally heard stories of kids getting their hands on spiked truffles and getting drunk. I can see how that happens now. Lol
LOL OH NOOO!!! That’s too dang funny.
It really is! ☺️
