The other reason, according to something I read, sometime (great source,
I know) is that, when the chocolate ones were invented, they were trying
to think of a name - and chose the name truffle as indicating how rich
and rare they were... I suspect a certain visual resemblance helped the
thought.
I come here to get away from chocolate, and what are you all talking
about?? I sell the darn things... *G* OK, actually, this year I only
did a few days of truffles. I've mostly worked for clients with cookies
and other chocolates... (I freelance.) Anyhow, it means I have been
paying attention to the history of chocolate for several years, because
customers ask me, and I've never liked the "Uh, gee, I have no idea"
approach to sales... I mean, I'll say it if I don't know, but I like to
feel as if I know what I'm doing.
