Truffles are found in Europe and Africa, where they were first
discovered.
The truffle is neither an animal nor a vegetable, although it has been
classed among the fungi, which has root, and the truffle has neither
root nor stem.
The truffle is used for stuffing and flavoring only otherwise it is not
of much value. On account of their scarcity, and the difficulty in
finding them, they are rather costly.
We think truffles may be compared to lace--both are dear, and neither
has an intrinsic value.
