Hunter and Gatherer: Truffle Hunter 

+Chris Mcquade If I was driving by, I would think they were dealing drug for SURE.

Let's go into my "office"

+LocumRex hey, could you elaborate, please? why is this kind of food trade illegal?

"witnessed" ;)

+Synochra because you're supposed to go thru the USDA and stuff to legally have customers purchase some of your product specially if you're gonna say it's from say Italy even Tho it's from Washington or wherever. Ppl can tell you anything and it be false just to make a profit. They want it regulated

QCpowarr it realey ad

+Naser Mubarak High off her ass?

as a great man once said "do it!"

+Carlos Villalvazo by great man, do you mean Shia Lebouf? And James, follow your heart!

Bullshit the first day without Reddit or Netflix and running water you'll run home

SealMeat IsBestMeat not true. I enjoy the internet at home but I can drop it and backpack for two weeks with no technology other than gps.

It has a really unique taste that takes time getting used to. First time I had it in Italy, it was so strong just from a few shavings

ytube777. 🤩Same here!🙄

A mushroom

ytube777 it’s one of the most overrated ingredient ever. Delicious indeed, but fine dining made it huge. So now restaurants charge ridiculous amounts of money just for a few shavings of it.

Have u ever heard of a old classic video called two girls one cup I hear that's what it taste like on a delicate palate you picking up what I'm dropping

Harry my lord and saviour nigga fuck the truffle. Bet it tastes like fucking shit but I'd be in it for the money

Truffle is definately good, but horribly overpriced compared to the taste.

there are better mushrooms

They're usually up in the hills burning cable not truffle hunting this is how some of the wildfires get started in Oregon f****** tweakers

why would you think shes a tweaker?

@@davidspears6500 what does 'burning cable' mean?

@@RealEnglishNow She didn't say she's a tweaker .she's talking about people going up there and digging and destroying the forest by digging massive holes and leavening them open

+okinawaskate It was so funny that I immediately started to piss and shit myself.

I wasnt expecting the truck 😶

+okinawaskate hahah.

You can find these at Italiano stores

Putther lol I watch ur vids

Lies again? AIA Money USD SGD

Bruh aint no way, im subbed to you😂

Agreed, it takes ages to train your own dog to be able to find truffles like hers do and, from what I understand, most foragers just buy dogs that are already trained by someone for much more than that dog species would normally sell for. Not only that, but videos like this that are well edited and trimmed down to *JUST* the interesting or entertaining parts can tend to mislead ignorant or oblivious people into thinking that she made those $400 just in the 10-20 minutes it took them to watch the video. Not only that, but that basket that she showed at the end of the foraging part was what they'd found after HOURS of foraging, and that was not even a whole pound, especially seeing as they hadn't been processed yet (meaning even with the bits that get trimmed away and the dirt that is washed away, that was not a pound in the basket). I forage for mushrooms that grow above ground like Chanterelles and Morels, etc. and in order to make anything resembling a living doing this you either need to have years of experience, a college degree level of mycological understanding, and work 10+ hours a day when the good stuff is in season, OR you need to have excellent sales skills, and connections to MANY well off chefs/individuals in your area that are willing and able to charge out the ass for what you offer. Also, mushrooms/truffles have become MUCH more well known in recent years, meaning there is more competition between foragers/distributors for what was already a small customer base. The added availability has caused the value of truffles and exotic mushrooms to fall quite a bit, making it harder than ever to make a profit, much less a living. Most people that think this is a way to get rich quickly realize after only a short while that it is by no means easy, and generally not worthwhile if you're main objective is to earn a good living. It's best practiced as a hobby that you can occasionally earn some supplemental income from if you get lucky and find a good growth, or if the weather during that year's season is particularly favorable.

Wow. Thanks for describing that. All this time (ihavent tried truffles yet) i imagined the aroma of salted egg or a strong cheese

I sometimes eat truffles and they are hard as a rock so i have to grind them to eat itd

Truffles are not salty , nutty , your ignorant

@@jeffyproductions8595 There are many different species of truffles, so idk what you are eating, but it is certainly not the kind of truffles shown in this video, or the type most people are talking about using in fine dining. The truffles in this video and that most people talk about are closer to the consistency of those orange "Circus Peanut" candies but obviously with very different flavor. They should be like semi firm marshmallows in terms of texture/consistency.

E8 196883 She was saying no one dog is better than another

ah

its like what diamond rings are to women. useless but someone said they were valuable and the more expensive the more beautiful they are. truffles are the same thing. it's all BS.

+Bruce Wayne Another way to add to the price I guess.. Shave a few roots, add 11 dollars, or 40 in some cases.

+Bruce Wayne I disagree entirely. I have worked with truffles my whole career and they add immeasurable value to a dish simply for their effect on the palate, not to mention the effect of truffles on the psyche. For truffles are more than just a food, they yield a complex collection of aromas whose action is akin to that of pheromones. However truffles have to be of the correct species and as she explains in the video they aren't always ripe. When a customer gets a bogus Chinese truffle masquerading as a perigord truffle, worst case scenario, or merely a truffle harvested before properly ripened, they wonder what the fuss is about and why they are so damned expensive. Properly used truffles are not wankery.

fraud1983 it makes their shit spontaneous

SammyS Its basicaly like cheese u wont notice it on a dish its just aroma.

here again after 2 years

She trained her dog to have an employment...

+Carlos Villalvazo yesss

+Mike Rossi 4:31

I knew I wasn't the only one!!!!

Oh jeez...

Mike Rossi Seen him!

Oh my god as soon as I seen that I about shit myself!!!!

You're in a good area @Green Enterprise, and they are out now-- it could be a combination of factors- not all truffles are shallow, or yes, it could be mycellium. one of the harder parts of training is that transition from practice to the real thing growing in the wild. One of the things we do with students is take them to heavily producing truffle areas, and help you thorugh that process with an experienced eye so you can get this experience and confidence in knowing what you're doing on your own. Shoot us an email at info@truffledogcompany.com and I can help you out.

Yes we do @Vaugh Precision. It's one of the primary things we do at Truffle Dog Co. shoot me an email and we can see what's best for you depending on where you are

@Margarita- We don't sell dogs, but we're happy top work with you to train a pet to do this for fun if you're interested- Email us at info@truffledogcompany.com
