Demystifying the truffle: ‘Diamonds of the kitchen’

When I was saddled with the responsibility of finding images to accompany this article, I decided to scour one of my favorite food-gasmic platforms; foodporndaily. My fellow food voyeurs would know that a visit to the site entails nothing more than clicking through a seemingly endless series of beautiful plates of food; essentially, more clicks, more noms.  They would also know that it has no search function. Thus, there’s no real way of streamlining your search, or looking for what you want – think of it like a food chat-roulette. It took me four clicks to chance upon the truffle, which made frequent appearances in the lineup thereafter.
