Ker-fuf-fle: n. a disturbance or commotion.
Fresh Truffle: n. the food of the gods – well worthy of causing a kerfuffle.
This week’s event is a Fresh Oregon Truffle drawing! The US’s wild truffles may not be as famous or potent as European varieties like white alba truffles, but that doesn’t mean they’re not darned tasty.
One person (drawn at random) is getting their choice of a quarter pound of either Black Oregon Truffles or White Oregon Truffles!
Congrats Sami!
Apologies in advance, dear readers, should you be awoken in the middle of the night by the ecstatic cry of “Thank the LORD for MARX FOODS!” projected through a megaphone. That’ll be Sami (lucky #31) finding out that she was just picked for the Oregon truffle shipment. We’re going to ask her to keep it down…but you know how people can be when there are fresh truffles involved…
Of course, Sami’s good fortune doesn’t end there. By being picked for the truffles she’s also managed to snag an entry in our Ridiculously Delicious Challenge, coming very soon, and the goodies at the end of THAT rainbow, let me tell you, make fresh Oregon truffles look positively blah by comparison.

I’ve never had fresh truffles. Anxious to try the white Oregon truffles to spread the word about what makes truffles such a delicacy.
I’ve never tasted truffles…and have wanted to at least give them in a try for ages!!!! I’d so love to win this…I’d be shouting….”WOOO HOOOOO I WON!!! I WON!! YEAH! TRUFFLES, BABY!!!!”
Black please. To quote Alexandre Duma, “Eat me and adore God” will be my cry.
I’d love to try the black Oregon Truffles…
… and I’d be shouting FROM THE ROOFTOPS… TRUFFLE RISOTTO FOR EVERYONE!!! But, I might not be able to feed everyone… but it’s the thought that counts, right???
White truffles, baby!
I will shout out “Holy moly gazoly!!” Folks will stare.
White truffles sound fantastic, and a little less intimidating than black … but I’d be open to either!
Holy Kerfuffle!!!
I’d love to try the black truffles.. I’m just imagining them on pasta.. mmm..
When I win the white truffles, I’ll shout “somebody around here just got really lucky.” Get in line for a delicious meal.
I’m not sure yet which one I’d prefer! I’d have to ask my chef brother which one he recommends. If I am picked, I’d shout “HOLY SH*T I GET TO TRY TRUFFLES!!!!”

I’d take either one of them! And in the words of my 8 yr. old, I’d yell “SWEET” if I won these!!!
I would love to win the Black Truffles. It would be great to taste something so rare! What an amazing opportunity!
I’d definitely prefer the black truffles and I would just squeal like a little school girl if I was chosen!
You guys are funny. I’m not much of a rooftop shouter thanks to my filthy mouth, but if I won the black truffles, I’d have to say, “F*%& yeah!”
I will shout – truffle kerfuffle has left me all ruffled.

I would love black truffles. If I won I would be yelling “I know what *I* am making for dinner!”
I tweeted!
I announced the contest on my Facebook page.
White truffles for me, please. I would shout: “Get in my belly!”

I definitely would love to try white truffles.
What I would shout? “………….” (I think I’d be in too much shock to shout anything)
White truffles!!!!
i have also facebooked, tweeted, and blogged. Desperate much? Lol!!
Black please! My freezer is already full of whites:)
But as I shave the fresh truffle over my buttery mashed potatoes and take a bite I will shout ” Im having a truffle-gasm!”
I’d love to try the burgendy truffles! I’d shout, thank the LORD for MARX FOODS! 🙂
I would love to use some Black Truffles in a new and amazing recipe. And then if I won, I would have to scream: “KERFUFFLE, KERUFFLE, KERFUFLE”
I’ll shout – “Woohoo!!!! Never so lucky (or well off) enough to try or cook with truffles!!!! Pinch me…is it true?” and I’ll pick either…never had the experience of trying them so I’d be happy with whatever.
I’d love to try white truffles, and I will shout, “THe truffles are on the house!”
I’ve never had either one fresh–let’s go with white! Although either is good. I’m pretty sure I’d shout, “holy shit, babe! I won truffles!”
I’d take the white truffles, please…
And I’d shout: Holy crap – FREE TRUFFLES!!!!

I’m not picky.. Either will do. And I would be shouting”Yippee”
Sechuan buttons were a curiosity, but truffles are divine. I would choose the black truffles, and make the best damn tater-tots the world has ever seen. Pasta and risotto would follow. The neighbors would likely forgive past cooking experiments if I shared. If I shared.
“Fire up the forno pizza oven- it’s black oregon truffle and morel pizza.” (Morels I ordered from you in spring and dried to save for a special occasion). It’s going to be a truffelpalooza!!!
White Oregon truffles!
I’ll sing the state song and put it on my blog!
“Hail to thee, Land of Promise, My Oregon.”
I’d love a little of both, but since I have to choose, I would pick black truffles.
If I win them, I’ll be shouting “Yeah, baby!”
white and … “harness up the cats darling, we’re gonna teach ’em to sniff out truffles”
i’d have to ask my chef contacts. let me consult if i win!
i go for the black truffles! bring ’em on!
Black Truffles if you pleeeeeeeease!
Then of course I would have to follow it with my rendition of Black Velvet…mocked up to Black Truffles!
If you pleeeeeeeeeeeeese! Black – Truffles…. A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees, Black Truffles if you please.
Black
Umami mommy! (Give me the Oregon black)
“…is it surprising the
lightning, when it strikes the ground, gives
rise to truffles, which do not resemble
plants?” Plutarch
Try this: Jerusalem artichokes, peeled, cooked and pureed to mashed potato consistency, with a little cream added and black truffle shavings on top.
I’d go for the white truffles since I’ve never tried those, and shout out “Who wants truffled scrambled eggs??? MEEEEE!!!”
Black truffles sound heavenly!! 🙂

Yum. As others have said, I would gladly take either. 🙂 However, black would probably be my preference. Also a huge thank you for letting me sample the fresh wasabi, I highly enjoyed it and made it into some excellent Tuna Apple Tartare. I posted about the recipe here:
http://pink-apron.com/2010/11/tuna-and-apple-tartare-with-fresh-wasabi-and-apple-chips/
Oh and if I won I would be shouting, “Time to make mushroom risotto with fresh truffles.” I posted on facebook. My page is here:

I’d love to try the white truffles. Most of my experience has been with the black variety.
I would like to try the fresh black Oregon truffles. i’ve heard such adoring comments about them.
I think the white might be my truffle of choice, and my exclamation would involve an expletive and the word “YEAH!”
The white, please! Only because it sounds more exotic, but I’d really like either! Oh glorious truffles!!
I’m not picky, I’ve not cooked with truffles, so bring it! I’ll be shouting “a la bio, a la bao, a bim bom bao. Trufas! Trufas! Ra Ra Ra”

White truffles would be a delighted ingredient for a special holiday meal. I’d happily share the news with friends and family.
Black truffles and for sure I’ll shout out, “Can’t believe it. I finally won –You must head off to MarxFoods–they’re AMAZING!”
I tried your truffle salt with ground black truffle and it was out of this world good! It’s umami flavor beats that of soy sauce, mushrooms, kelp and MSG combined. I’d say “Fantastic! MarxFoods not only has the best quality ingredients, it’s so unbelievably generous too! You’all gotta try their stuff!”
Doesn’t matter if they’re black or white…I will be shouting Truffle Kerfufflefragilistic!!!
