Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

Anything "truffle" I've ever been offered smells absolutely terrible to me. While not near as powerful as durian, the smell and taste give me a bit of that vibe.

Perhaps it's all just been fake truffle oil type crap and real shaved truffle is amazing, but nobody's ever given me any of that or inspired me to try it.

Agree 10000%. I went to a truffle party a couple of years ago. Plain cheese pizza, grilled asparagus, steak bites, etc. all with small shaved pieces of truffle (that i assume was outrageously expensive). Those were very good and nothing like the typical stinky Parmesan truffle fries that every restaurant sells.

If I were to see someone shaving it off the real deal, I'd give it another try, but at this point I'm done with the stuff otherwise and even if the real deal is a better version of that flavor, it hasn't inspired me enough to cough up the money for a small real truffle for myself.
