If someone would like to split on a Ronald MacKenzie and send me an offset in the future I'd be happy to do so.   That is as long as I can have a half an order of pasta with truffles. ;D

Good news that the Colesbourne package is at least safely over the water, John.

Dont buy black Truffles in a jar ...thats really a waste of money....you have to try good fresh truffles  :D
They are actually OK. It's what you do with them that affects the flavour.

Have you tried a good quality truffle oil?  It really adds class to a pasta dish.  Shelf life is rather limited.

 Nah! It is usual to eat three meals a day in our society.... that gives three opportunities per day for considerable enjoyment, every day of life..... a snow drop, or any other single flower, only gives a fleeting pleasure....... I'm with the foodies!  8)

How will you find the truffles when we have converted all the pigs to (cheaper) bacon sarnies?
