in france, pigs find the coveted truffle and people eat them, but in china people find truffles and feed them to pigs. not for long! according to an article in the sydney morning herald, chinese truffles get mixed in with french ones and are selling for more than their worth.

there’s a big stink on the side of french truffle farmers feeling threatened by newly discovered troves of chinese truffles, declaring that the chinese truffles are inferior in taste. time for an official taste test!
