Truffles are from the underground ascomycetes family (tubers) and are
reputed for their high prices. It has an odour similar to deep fried
walnuts which is extremely pungent to some people, causing a reeling
effect. Interestingly, some people are unable to detect the odour of
truffles (which is possibly to their advantage!) The white truffle is
the most expensive of the family. They are generally served sliced into
extremely thin slivers on top of other food and are frequently suffused
in oil for sale as truffle-oil.
