    Pigs sniff them out - But you can train dogs to find them!

    They grow underground - and are expensive - too expensive to tell you what they taste like!!

    You could find them in your own garden if you're prepared to pay a small fee and wait 5-7 years.

    All I know about truffles is that they carry their house on their backs.

    Wait, sorry, no. That's turtles.

    Caviar is where it's at if you can wait 20 years for your investment to flourish. Truffles is for pigs.

    I've tasted them. Very acquired taste tbh.

    Fair play to you for being honest. Most people think an acquired taste is a mark of taste.

    I've had them too. Very savoury and musky. Not much to my taste, to be honest, although I'd still eat them.

    Truffles would be a good name for an upper class English gentlemanly cat burglar.
