      Nah, fully just people going “from a distance, it kinda looks like a truffle”

      A confection having a center of ganache and an outer coating of powdered cocoa or chocolate, named after the visual resemblance to a Black Truffle

        US and Amsterdam seem to have different truffles. Weirdly, ours are marketed as European…

          Truffles are also a sort of non-hallucinogenic fungi, prized as a seasoning for certain foods, typically dug up and harvested by truffle hunters aided by dogs or pigs. I suspect they’re the ones you get as European, unless you’re talking about the chocolates.

          In fact, the work truffle refers to too many different things. Someone should do something about that.
