These recipes are probably excellent. But please -- "*Chocolate* Truffles
and..."

Not that the two will be confused for long, but here in Berkeley, with its
fashionable chocolate shops, people are growing up thinking that a chocolate
truffle is the only kind of truffle, and this bothers me. It's like modern
teenagers saying they "heard that Paul McCartney was in some other band before 
Wings"; people on this net referring to the SDS as "some kind of terrorist 
organization back in the sixties, I understand"; national commentators
misusing the word "hacker"; and so on.

As an enthusiastic cook, I like both kinds of truffles -- real and chocolate.
I hope the former will not be a casualty of the latter.
