White Truffles or Dark Truffles?

How much would you pay for a fungus that grows in the ground?

I like chocolate truffles.

Hi Liz, I have never eaten one ... what do they taste like? (And, if you say Chicken ... gah LOL)

They must be really, really good to even be sold on the black market and controlled by some orginazed crime families.

Chocolate truffles are not like real ones...

Chocolate ones:

The chocolate ones just LOOK like the real ones

I have never tried one, but I like mushrooms, so I might be okay with those.

Is it true that the French even use pigs to find them?

I've never bought or eaten a fungi truffle as far as I know. They bring $25 to $30 per pound, I understand. "The record price paid for a single white truffle was set in December 2007, when Macau casino owner Stanley Ho paid US$330,000 (£165,000) for a specimen weighing 1.5 kilograms (3.3 lb), discovered by Luciano Savini and his dog Rocco. One of the largest truffles found in decades, it was unearthed near Pisa and sold at an auction held simultaneously in Macau, Hong Kong and Florence. This record was then matched on November 27, 2010 when Ho again paid US$330,000 for a pair of white truffles including one weighing nearly a kilogram. (Wikipedia)

According to reports, the truffles and other mushrooms downwind of the Chernobyl nuclear plant were poisoned with radiation and have now passed it on to the boars who eat them.

This makes me wonder about the safety of mushrooms anywhere downwind of Japan. California, for instance...

Ugh!!! No wonder why they have to coat them with chocolate! Who would eat them otherwise? They grow underground without anything visible above ground? How in the world were they discovered?

Surely you are joking about fungus being covered with chocolate, Gerry!

The best thing about chocolate truffles is they are so smooooooooth. Chocolate all the way through. No fungus there.

I think the boars went so hog-wild over the fungus truffles that humans had to check them out and found them to their liking.

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}
