stabby seems like a fitting name for a truffle smelling pig

9/30/2009 1:07:57 PM

lol

need a truffle smelling pig leash

9/30/2009 1:09:51 PM

duh, call him Hershey

and yes, a leash is important. can't have that bastard sniffing out the truffles and then eating them! you need to have a leash so you can choke a bitch that tries to eat your truffles.

I've never had truffles. Are they actually any good or is it like caviar where people pretend they like it because it's really expensive?

9/30/2009 1:11:31 PM

haha...stabby.

King henry the 8th...both pretty rotund...

"come on guys!!! we have truffles to find!"

9/30/2009 1:18:58 PM

lololololol@ thumper

I, too, wish chocolate truffles grew in the ground

9/30/2009 1:20:13 PM

my chef told me the industry folks use dogs instead of pigs now. the pigs were eating all the truffles.

[Edited on September 30, 2009 at 1:22 PM. Reason : oink]

9/30/2009 1:20:35 PM

chocolate growing in the wild!!!...maybe in candyland

I'd rather use dogs anyways...you have only created a new bubble

9/30/2009 1:22:28 PM

cursed homophones!!!!

9/30/2009 1:25:35 PM

9/30/2009 1:26:04 PM

Honestly though, why not just farm them?

9/30/2009 1:29:47 PM

cause then you wont get to hunt with a fucking pig!

9/30/2009 1:32:03 PM

you mean like so many other foodstuffs where we decided the real, wild thing was just too much work, and gave up all kinds of flavor and character in the name of convenience?

...Other than values like there, there's probably a good financial or logistical reason as to why we don't farm them. And I'm glad for it.

9/30/2009 1:32:59 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truffle_(fungi)#Cultivation

Actually, it looks like they are farmed.

But not as much as they could be because farmers want to keep prices high.

It's like the OPEC of Fungus.

9/30/2009 1:35:23 PM

ah, interesting

9/30/2009 1:39:30 PM

some mushrooms you cant. you can't farm chantrelles.

or it could be like farming pine nuts. what's the point, just walk into a forest.

9/30/2009 1:40:54 PM

im searching craigslist for a truffle smelling pig

9/30/2009 1:42:35 PM

9/30/2009 2:50:24 PM

Can you give an example of something from the wild that cannot be reproduced through cultivation? The only thing I can think of with an appreciable is farmed vs. wild-caught seafood, but there are some definite advantages to farming seafood (as well as some drawbacks).

9/30/2009 3:45:10 PM

you're about to get your asshole turned inside out...

9/30/2009 3:46:37 PM

Why? I'm not being combative.

9/30/2009 3:47:50 PM

yeah, i was just messin

I feel like saps, TheBullDoza, and Truffle Pig will make a winning trio.

9/30/2009 6:06:44 PM

They do in NC. The agriculture department was actually giving people grants a few years ago to start their own truffle farms here. But in NC we use truffle dogs because they won't eat the truffles

9/30/2009 6:09:39 PM

thats why you have to have a truffle smelling pig leash

its just not the same if a pig is not involved

why would anyone want to have a truffle smelling dog, a pig would be just way cooler, and once again, saps makes a thread about something funny i thought of

9/30/2009 6:34:16 PM

^ Probably because they're doing it for their livelihood, not the lulz.

9/30/2009 6:38:40 PM

well if things went bad for a month, then you could just eat the pig, see problem solved
