Trader Joe's Wild Mushroom & Black Truffle Flatbread...you don't suck.


Lets see...crispy flatbread, black truffles, mozzarella cheese, wild mushrooms (not caged)...um, ok.
Best thing about this delightful treat is that it works as a snack OR meal. You can't say that about everything you know...take rack of lamb for instance. Great meal, bad snack. However, the suggested way to eat this delicacy is to cut it into strips and serve it as an appetizer. That works if you're into the whole sharing thing. My way of serving it is: 1 flatbread for breakfast, 1 flatbread for lunch, 1 more flatbread for dinner...possible additional flatbreads as snacks in between meals. Then, fall asleep and dream about eating flatbread.
Oh, remember the bottle of white truffle oil I posted a while back? If you've developed a bit of a truffle obsession (seems to be contagious), you can bust it out and sprinkle this WILD MUSHROOM & BLACK TRUFFLE FLATBREAD with it. Did I say sprinkle? I meant dump the bottle. Not that the flatbread can't stand alone, it most certainly can. I'd even say try it alone first. If you've already tapped a vein and have a white truffle oil IV going straight into your blood stream, that should suffice too.
The package says you can cut it up and put it on salad. That's just weird. Then you would have soggy flatbread on lettuce. Don't believe everything you read...except for this blog.
Package also says "Product of Italy." It's a good idea to put that on things like pizza, shoes, cheese and men. Really ups the appeal.
This flatbread can be found at Trader Joe's. Occasionally, I have found Italian men there also. No shoe department yet unfortunately. Ill keep looking.

Good job on this find Natalie. Keep looking for other things labeled "Product of Italy"...give them my number.
