Truffle Kerfuffle URL: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1027587,00.html Description: This 2005 article reports that "over the past few years, unscrupulous dealers in Europe and the U.S. have begun passing off ... Chinese [black] truffles" as Perigord truffles from France. It notes that while the two truffle types look similar, "the Chinese variety is insipid compared with the French one" when used in cooking. Also discusses a DNA analysis developed to distinguish French truffles from the Chinese ones. From Time magazine. LII Topics: Fungi, Plants by Name Author: Beech, Hannah Publisher: Time Inc.
