Gday Mugs .

As you may or may not know I'm a comm fisherman and over the years have smelt my share of disgusting things . The breath of a green turtle for one , decomposing whale carcasses are probably two of the worste . Nothing however dead or alive in the ocean smells as vile as bloody truffles .

totally agree - some kind soul gifted us a bottle of truffle oil - dripped and I mean dripped a couple of drops on some stuffed field mushrooms I was roasting - well they were stuffed literally as the stench invaded the house and none of us could bring ourselves to even taste the result - so I on gifted the oil to someone I didn't like who reckons he is a gaumand - odd but haven't heard from him since
