It’s truly terrible
(AFP) Truffle farmers have never had to worry about demand. It is the supply side that is worrying, with global warming an ever more present threats to their success.
“You don’t market the truffle, you manage its scarcity,” said Jean-Charles Savignac, president of the French Truffle Growers Federation (FFT).
Horrible. How can we survive?
Explanations for the ever-shrinking supply begin with the rural exodus that emptied the French countryside after World War II.
The truffle’s natural habitat was affected as farmland gave way to natural reforestation or bush, according to truffle expert Pierre Sourzat, who added that “sometimes very effective competitors” — other fungi that colonise tree roots — encroached on its territory.
Weather variations are no help. “The truffle, which is very sensitive to water, is something of a marker of climatic changes,” Savignac said.
See? All those real world causes, but, not, it must be “climate change.”
Yeah he’s mentally stable. Heavy medication and institutionalization will be required.
Nobody knows the truffles I’ve seen…..
(Sorry…. someone had to say it.)
Good man.
Hey, you trying to start some truffle here?
Excellent repartee.
Me? Start truffle?
In a pig’s eye!
Truffle is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
