Truffles - so the place we were staying this summer was in the middle of nowhere in the middle of an olive grove.

One day this man and his dog wander onto the property. The dog is running around, digging for a minute or two, then returning to his owner.

He is digging truffles! The man gave us a few ping pong sized ones, worth $100's on the open market.

I used them on pasta, risotto, in olive oil and put them in a bag with eggs. They have a taste that is very hard to describe, but it is seductive.

The least expensive way to taste them is in an olive oil, but even then it's going to be expensive.
