Jesus. I lived in NYC and white truffles at the right time were no where near as expensive. I can't believe they felt worth it.

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/11/26/why-truffles-are-so-expe... : Italian white truffles … $85,000 for 2 lbs.. two years ago when there was a short supply.

Seems like it’s around 10,000 euros/lb now. When I bought it..it was probably 2200-2500 euros per pound. That was almost a decade ago!

To me, after the Italian white truffle experience, black truffles are not worth it anymore. I just want to preserve that one special memory(of many meals) untainted!
