Talk:Chocolate truffle

Untitled
Can you please tell me what is the difference between this two sites http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe.php?id=195&title=Chocolate+Truffles and http://www.thebigtruffle.com/chocolate%20truffles.html. Both have recipes about chocolate truffles and both have ads. First is suitable in your opinion, the second isn`t. Can you please tell me why. I think my page is useful for visitors of wikipedia.

That page isn't suitable either, I just didn't take a look at it. Any site with advertisements on it is most likely not suitable for a link from Wikipedia, unless the site is considered an authority on the subject matter. Sinned 17:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

naming
Huh? These are NOT truffles but bon bons and confections. Have any confectioners reviewed this? "Other fillings may replace the ganache: cream, melted chocolate, caramel, nuts, almonds, berries, or other assorted sweet fruits, nougat, fudge, or toffee, mint, chocolate chips, marshmallow, and, popularly, liqueur." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.38.249.39 (talk) 15:29, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Why are they called after the fungus? Chris (talk) 22:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Because they look like them. The cocoa powder coated ones, anyway. — Nahum Reduta [ talk | contribs ] 08:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Buttercream truffles
Would this be the same buttercream used as frosting? — Nahum Reduta [ talk | contribs ] 08:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

It would also be nice to have a history of this type of candy and what its origins are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.94.188.52 (talk) 18:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Invention
Article seems to have two different persons cited as the inventory/creator of truffles. So, is it John Labarge or M. Dufour? Sicilianmandolin (talk) 09:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Changing Liquor to Liqueur
At the end of the first paragraph, it was stated that "liquor" is a popular filling for truffles. I am not an expert on confectionary (or alcohol), but I believe this should be "liqueur", judging by what I've seen of truffle recipes elsewhere. Here are a couple of examples:
 * http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/514460
 * http://www.morrisons.co.uk/food/recipe-search/index/C/Chocolate-Liqueur-Truffles/

The distinction is significant, although I believe it is a common mistake. Feel free to change it back if there is any disagreement. - Elusive Pete (talk) 15:22, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Misleading Photo
The titular photo on the right concerns me because it doesn't truly represent what truffles are known for which is their center. What is shown could easily be bon-bons or some other chocolate treat. Readers trying to understand what truffles are won't get the precise visual understanding with that image. I suggest a picture that shows the inside of a chocolate truffle like the one below.

Example.

This is about the inventor or creator of the truffe in chocolate. In the french version, the creator is Dufour and in english the inventor is N.Petruccelli, and in the italian version the name is more precisely : Nadia Maria Petruccelli,

does this means that the french version is wrong ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plouffe (talk • contribs) 15:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Weasel Words
"The "Vegan truffle" can have any shape or flavor, but is adapted to modern-day diet by replacing dairy with nut milks and butters" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.106.241.68 (talk) 07:31, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
