truffle hunting

This is the time of year to check around your trees for naturally occurring truffles. Yes, they grow in this country and no you do not need a pig to find them...though certainly a well trained pig or dog would be helpful. Truffles like to grow at the base of Oaks, Beech, Birch, Hazel and Pine trees. I have some of those trees and in the next few days I am going hunting for those culinary delights. keep you posted....
