Rooting around

Once we went to the truffle farm where we learned about the 4 types cultivated locally befor Jack, the over excited truffle hound, dug up some previously hidden truffles to demonstrate the truffle hunt. If you want to experience it, just bury a bone in your backyard and watch your pooch dig it up.
We had rather an expensive lunch there, every course with truffles but it did not impress us overmuch. The taste of truffles can easily be tried by diluting fresh forest mushrooms and it wont cost you the price on the blackboard; the cheapest they sell.
The roots decorating the ceiling are supposed to show where the truffle can be found.
BTW The Lagotto Romagnolo is a medium-sized, water retriever and truffle hunter with curly hair and a great disposition. It is depicted in books dating back to 1591 and 1630, and there are some references back to the 1400s.Läs mer
