Alba (Truffle fair)

The ancients considered it food of gods, with aphrodisiac powers well used from the burning Jupiter while Roman cookbooks advised to cook Tubers (the classification of mushrooms will arrive many centuries later) under the ash and eat them with honey. In the Middle Age it was wary of these strange creatures of Nature, fearing of the poisonous effects. The consecration comes only in the last two centuries, the courts of the nobility, although the poor area kitchen did not never disdain truffle salad at current prices would now shaking many credit cards.
