I don't this this is a question really ... if you can grow truffles (known as [fug-ha] in Arabic) then GROW TRUFFLES :-) and make me jealous as hell.

oh dear here it comes: truffle omlettes, truffle soufles, truffle bread, truffles with beef, truffle oil, truffles with mushrooms, truffle ice cream
