Now I'm not showing off here, and nor do I want sympathy.
I used to live in one of the more lavish cities in the Middle East, the city of Doha, Qatar.
A little bit of truffle goes a long way, and a lot of it makes your meal taste like shit. By the way, Qatar and truffle are not separate entities.
Because with bling being high up on the agenda in Doha (along with many other things), I had many meals in five-star hotels that tasted like shit. Truffle was rammed down my throat, whether I wanted it on my meal or not.

And before you think I'm showing off about splashing the cash, it was all free. I was a lifestyle editor in Doha.
What the fuck am I doing in Manchester?
Anyway, Qatar will probably be putting a bid in for this truffle, as it's possibly the biggest mother fucker ever found in Australia.

It was unearthed in Victoria, Australia. It weighs 1.5 kilograms and is colossal.
Although it looks ugly, it's worth a lot of dollar - Australian dollar. It could fetch as much as $3000 Aussie smackers (around £1,750).
Stuart Dunbar, owner of Yara Valley Truffles farm, and his dog, Lani, found it under a tree.
I always thought it was pigs that found truffles but after researching I found out the greedy buggers eat loads of them so it's not the best economic choice to use them.
He won't be cutting it into smaller chunks to sell so, Stuart lad, if you want to sell it to Qatar, probably for about ten times more than it's worth, hit me up, and I'll do my best for you.
