Due to bad weather and a growing pollution problem, I saw black French
truffles going for about 2000 euro per kilo and white Italian truffles going
for about 6000 euro per kilo. No word yet on the current Australian truffle
harvest, as I assume it's so low as to be not worth counting, but early days
yet...

So, if 2 pounds is .9 of a kilo (very roughly), then the stuffing works out
as

BLACK TRUFFLES
US$ - $2050
UK Pound - 1250
AU$ - $3115

WHITE TRUFFLES
US$ - $6150
UK Pound - 3760
AU$ - $9340
