[ryanolmstead]

Has anyone tried the Truffle Pigs that they sell in stores?

I saw a picture of it on Matt's blog, but i havent seen them anywhere, i like truffles so if their a good truffle that'd be cool, but apparently Ecnarf ( which i just realized is France spelled backwards) doesnt like them. Where did you find them Ecnarf?

Okay, I feel like a total dumbass for asking this....

 

...But are Truffled Pigs actually Truffled Pigs? Or is it something else?

 

I hadn't heard of them til I heard the song, and...well assumed it meant something else, I didn't think there was really such a thing... ;);

truffle pigs are pigs trained to sniff out truffles. truffle pigs are also, apperantly, a chocolatey treat.

 

TRUFFLED pigs, however, do not (to my knowledge) exists.

Truffle Pigs is also a Matt Good song.

( does anyone else remember that saying? God it was annoying.)

You're not missing anything.

 

Basically, they're these super expensive mushroom type things that only these trianed pigs can sniff out. They're very rare, which mkaes them expensive, and they have to feed the pigs every 3rd or 4th truffle they find so they'll keep looking. It's a crazy business.

[no yu begin wher i end]

Are they any good?

[Disestabulistic]

Those who do not like truffles are fools!

 

So are the truffle pigs truffles shaped like pigs or what?

Personally, I don't like them, but I've only tried em once.
