A breakfast for the gods

pecuniumI don't know that it's ambrosia, but it's certainly in the running.
Yesterday, at work, I found a couple of jars of truffle honey which had been "damaged", i.e. the paper seal had been broken. At that point we won't sell them.
Since I found them, I got to take them home.
This morning I melted one (it had crystalised. They run 30 dollars (US) the 1/4 kilo, so they don't fly out the door), and added about a teaspoon into a cup of greek yogurt.
It was really good. Licking the spoon was almost better. It was an overwhelming flavor. It stunned me. I mean that. Pleasure sensor overload. Sweet, and truffle and volatile and persistent.
Much more savorable in the yogurt.
I shall have find other things to do with it. I sense some experimenting with amuse bouche.
