Spécialités culinaires : Table de renommée ! L’Auberge du XXXX est une enseigne… Vous repartirez charmé par sa cuisine du terroir… Que dire de son foie gras de canard poêlé et son infusion de Layon aux truffes, de ses noisettes d’agneau panées à la truffe, de _______**la crème de brie de Meaux aux truffes mesentericum***_______… La truffe est partout, même dans les desserts ! Un délice, on ne s’en lasse pas !
______
The brie is a local brie, and mesentericum is a variety of truffle, so it's really interpretation of the "crème" here that I'm scratching my head over. Despite the last statement, and the fact that truffles have already appeared with vanilla elsewhere, I imagine this is a savoury dish. But one never knows...
Does anybody have any ideas for crème in particllar? I'm looking for an appetising-sounding yet meaningful translation rather than a fancy name for a recipe...
Somehow "custard" seems wrong!
Any suggestions would be gratefully received - many thanks!

It looks like these truffles have lots of names, depending on where they are picked. They are called Bagnoli if they come from Tuscany. I have found lots of references to it as "truffe de Meuse" see http://garzanda.club.fr/truffiere/icadres.html. However, because it's a rare and special truffle, among other Meuse truffles, maybe the scientific name is preferable.

Note from asker:
| thanks so much Anne! I was misled by having found brie de Meaux elsewhere in the text, and assumed this was some concoction... This simplifies things considerably! |
| Good heavens - I've just seen your link above! It has to be he same site - it's just a shame that it's practically illegible on my computer. Most of the text is superscripted. But there's enough to make it identifiable. I wonder why they want it retranslated... |
| Mystery solved: they've partially rewritten it... Phew! |

Crème de Brie de Meaux with Scorzone truffles
Just an addendum to what Anne suggested which I agree with, just found a translation of mesentericum as Scorzone - see truffles on Wikipedia
Note from asker:
| thanks Lucy, for corroborating Anne's answer and for suggesting Scorzione. This sounds a lot more appetising than mesentericum, but there seems to be some debate about what variety they are. Other sources differ from Google, so it seemed safer to stick with the rather offputting mesentericum |
Peer comment(s):

: You're right. See my note. They change names according to where they're picked. Several different names in Italy.
