Default Truffles

The message
from "Sir Nigel Dandruff" contains these words:

I would like to collect truffles I have been told the best places to look is
near dead oak trees,would I also need to train a pig or dog to sniff them
out? I know they use truffle pigs in France & truffle dogs in Italy


Truffles are rather scarce in Blighty, so I would advise training a
squadron of flying pigs. Pigses have an extremely keen sense of smell,
and if you don't keep the clean you can smell them at a couple of
hundred yards.

I always thought that the ground surrounding beech trees was a favourite
hiding place for truffles, so the promble you'll have is that pigses
like to roost in beech tress innit.
