I thought "bohemian" meant something like "ghetto".

So the truffles kind of surprised me.

I believe "bohemian" implies "untradtional"....hence the truffles.


I haven't tried it, but thought it was an interesting recipe. I wouldn't know where to buy a truffle! I guess mushrooms would make a nice substitution.

Same here--I don't think I've ever seen a real truffle face-to-face! :o) I'd probably have to drive 4 hours to Chicago just to find one...

You could probably get the same effect for a lot less money and trouble by using truffle oil instead of regular olive oil.

Also, here's some random trivia for you: I am pretty sure that the recipe gets its name from the Bohemian Hotel in Orlando, where its the "signature dish". And the hotel uses the word "Bohemian" to mean "artsy". I stayed there for a wedding a few years back and we couldn't stop laughing about the name, since here in CA the word has rather morphed to mean "dirty hippy trying to appear artsy." And it seemed particularly funny that this relative would throw a wedding in a place that conjured up those images. But it was a beautiful wedding, a lovely hotel and pretty tasty mac & cheese.
