The ancient Egyptians ate the truffle fat breaded and cooked in papillote. The Greeks and Romans attributed to these fungi a high aphrodisiac value. In Rome, Libyan`s truffles were considered a delicacy of the most exquisite and the Romans said that truffles were born of lightning and a gift from the gods. But in the Middle Ages used to see in truffles a manifestation of the devil so they fell into oblivion, but the truffles were a precious gift offered to kings, princes and bishops. By the year 1780 truffles were rare in Paris; the truffled turkey was considered as a luxury object, only served at the tables of powerful masters or mistresses houses.
