They're a dime a dozen in EU
Oh wait you mean the mushrooms not the chocolate of the same name
Is out chocolate with mushroom essence or something?
Truffles are a type of hallucinogenic mushroom. I bought some in Amsterdam once. I think they were called philosopher stones.
US and Amsterdam seem to have different truffles. Weirdly, ours are marketed as European....
Are we still talking about the fun kind (fungi) or the little chocolate things?
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.
