When eating fresh black truffles in Europe, they are first cut into extremely thin slices using a special slicer, and then sprinkled on fettuccine or pasta together with butter and Italian dry cheese. It is said that the taste is great. The traditional French way of eating black truffles is to make fried eggs with black truffles. Cut the fresh black truffles into small cubes and add them to the eggs and mix well. Leave them overnight so that the flavor of the black truffle can fully absorb into the egg liquid, and then fry them as usual. As a specialty dish, steak with black truffle sauce is very famous in high-end restaurants in France and Italy. [3]

Louis Gouix, the royal chef of King Louis XIV of France, has a famous saying in his "Soup Cookbook": "Soup is indispensable on the table. No matter how many dishes there are, without soup, it is like there is no hostess on the table." The soup in Western cuisine is different from that in Chinese cuisine. Cream of mushroom soup is a typical Italian-style soup. Italy is the birthplace of Western cuisine, so naturally there are many things worth praising about it.
