    I thought they were super rare and expensive, and yet you have so many you’re tripping over them?

            US and Amsterdam seem to have different truffles. Weirdly, ours are marketed as European…

              Truffles are also a sort of non-hallucinogenic fungi, prized as a seasoning for certain foods, typically dug up and harvested by truffle hunters aided by dogs or pigs. I suspect they’re the ones you get as European, unless you’re talking about the chocolates.

              In fact, the work truffle refers to too many different things. Someone should do something about that.

          Nah, fully just people going “from a distance, it kinda looks like a truffle”

        As a child I only ever knew of the chocolate version of truffles and man, having had both…child me was right. Chocolate truffles are the best.
