No contest. The fungus wins by country mile! For our 10th wedding anniversary in 2005 Vivienne and I went to this restaurant(http://www.restaurantbruno.com/) which just happened to be across the road from the villa we had rented with our friends and their two children. Set menu, but we went for the mid-priced option, which meant we had white truffles with one course and black with the main. Several times we saw customers arrive by helicopter, including one day the president of Slovakia. The food was amazing and I regret not getting a pic of Bruno as greeted guests at their tables.

Not sure when 'runs' come into it? A country mile is a great distance, so if something beats another by one there is a great gap between the two. Although I like chocolate truffles I would walk over hot coals for a rare steak tartufo! Here's a pic of me enjoying my meal at Chez Bruno, and a couple of pics taken from our gîte. One shows the restaurant with a blue helicopter landing and the other a close-up of the one we were lead to believe delivered a VIP for lunch there.

Pasta with truffles looks good. But I didn’t understand did you like it? Is it really enjoyable? Or you still just have being looking at it?  ;)

Oh... I have to taste it.  :)

I remember! My friend got truffle mycelium with plants from Caucasus. This year he found two truffles at his garden. Here are his images:





But he also didn't explained me what does it's taste like.  :)

Not exactly a truffle but think how decorative it would look on the dinner plate!
