Specially trained pigs are used to find which mushrooms?
Correct answer: Truffles

Nobody knows the truffles I've seen.

So amazing to utilize an animal’s instinct to find a rare vegetable

I have been fortunate enough to have been served them (dishes that contained them, but I think they were wasted on me. I don't get all the hubbub about them.

as much as truffles cost one might as well dig for gold.

Grillchees, It’s a spore-bearing fungi, hence classified as a mushroom......

The keeper has to be quick before greedy pig scoffs the lot.

I'm pretty sure pigs have long since been replaced by dogs, for one simple reason: pigs eat truffles and dogs don't.

Player #41081547, There are people who get a nasty kick out of eating things the. majority cannot afford - even if revolting. (Caviar, birds' nest, cordyceps, ancient wines and spirits) . It's as if they are eating money, and that it bestows some benefit on them ! Like those who dice with death by eating puffer fish.

Panchotzin, And dogs have a slavish desire to please people - pigs don't. But then dogs don't yield ham and bacon.
( Though some asians do eat them).

Uninitialized, The pig has earned it,by locating the truffle, so it isn' being greedy; it's cruel to torment them like this. And you can't label animals with human failings. When the pig has eaten enough it stops - unlike humans.

Gem cart,
Well, I'm sure you know that truffles aren't vegetables.
They're fungi, really hard to find mushrooms.
Unless you have a suitable pig!😀

They literally taste like dirt.
nasty things

Player #41081547
I had the opportunity to taste truffles twice. But in reality it is not that extraordinary thing for me. After eating, both times I wondered what is all this fuss about it.
