  1. I just LOVE this song. But then I’ve always been a sucker for sad love songs.

    It’s actually the October entry in his cycle of monthly pieces, but still appropriate.

    Temperatures of up to 30 degrees [C] lingered well into September, drying up the rich soil in the Piedmont region where white truffles grow.

    Gourmets in Alba, the white truffle capital of the world, are aghast at soaring prices, which have reached £500 per 100g. A plate of tagliatelle al tartufo bianco – pasta with raw truffle shavings – now costs up to £38 [$80.00] in restaurants in Milan.

    Truffle-hunters say there are less than half as many truffles to be found this year as there were in 2006.

    The white truffle is a fungus, from the Tuber genus, which grows on the roots of oak, hazel, poplar and beech trees in northern Italy. It can also be found in Croatia, on the Istria peninsula.

    Last year, Gordon Wu, a property tycoon from Hong Kong, paid a record £60,000 [$125,000] for a 3.3lb white truffle from Alba.
