    Truffle.

    It’s so overpowering and stinky, I don’t understand why people want to pile it up on things or distill it to a liquid to turn the flavor of whatever you’re eating into gym socks.

    Truffle fries? No. Stop. Go away.

      Often I find it bland and tasteless, just a wasted component that’s responsible for most of the price of a dish

      Everyone uses way too much. I know of exactly one restaurant in town that knows how to deploy it correctly. I avoid it everywhere else

        It’s possible I’ve just never had the right amount. I always either can’t taste the truffle, or taste nothing but truffle for several hours. The latter leaves me to believe I don’t like it because it’s so intense and overpowers every other flavor in the food.
