Explanation:
I didn't know what it was in French!

A/c to The A-Z of French Food - Dictionnaire gastronomique français-anglais, it is (probably) "broken rice":

<<brisure: break; fragment
brisure de chocolat - flakes of chocolate
brisure de riz - broken rice>>

In the entry \"brisure\", Lexis also gives \"brisure de riz\" as an example.

There has to be a \"sexier\" word for it in English though.

"with truffle fragments and juice'


Explanation:
Could also be, flecks or slivers of truffle. It would depend on the type of fragments used.

neutral  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): no fragments, fragments are for hard thiungs that break, No?

  -> A fragment is a part or remnant of something, not necessarily something hard.

COMMENT


Explanation:
Oh please! Not 'BITS'! That's not a bit attractive in a menu.

'truffle pieces' is more what I'm used to seeing, and I think it sounds more appetising.

Maybe that's just my UK sensibilities?

Other words I\'ve come across (but don\'t think I like as much) are parings and shavings; both of these suggest even smaller scraps, and usually translate the French \'pelures\'

\'brisures\', as Bourth so wisely points out, simply means broken pieces of (i.e. not whole — dream on!)

agree  Lucien Marcelet: do I ever agree with you friend. No chef in his right mind would allow 'bits' to appear on his menu, even if said bits are truffles. ''pieces" is the right word here.

  -> Thanks, Lucien!
agree  roneill: Pieces are perfect.

agree  awilliams: yes, bits not great
11 hrs
  -> Thanks, Amy!
agree  Katherine Mérignac: crumbled truffle (or in my case 'chestnut') / truffle sprinkles / sprinkled with truffle ... a few other suggestions to avoid our (rather vulgar) 'bits'!!

  -> Thanks, Katherine! Yes indeed — 'vulgar bits' have their place, but certainly not on my plate!
