where's my pig?

oh, perhaps dentworth knows! nope, she has not a clue!

the pigs would fight for the truffles cause they wanted to eat them.

I just think that's funny.

Hello my name is dentworth and I'm a truffleaholic. It has been 20 hours since I last had a Lindor truffle. Thank you.

Well, sorry to hog the annos,

ahem, but if you've lost your pig,[po] look for it where you stow your truffles, and the truffles, hence, help you find your pig. + for the superior idea

Don't all truffles eventually find pigs? How is this a new idea?

Some London restaurant recently paid £20,000 pounds for a record sized truffle. The chef left it in a locked fridge over the weekend where it went off. I'll try to find an article.
