Default Prices for truffle buyers


"During the peak of the white truffle season, which typically runs from late
October to early December, the tubers can fetch U.S. $1,200 to $2,300 a
pound ($2,600 to $5,000 a kilogram). That's ten times the price of more
common truffle varieties. The only food that costs more is caviar. "

the last 2 weeks (about) in another truffle thread.

I'm sure a diet of truffles would make you very *tasty* pork chops, too.
