"The most learned men have been questioned as to the nature of
this tuber, and after two thousand years of argument and
discussion their answer is the same as it was on the first day:
we do not know. The truffles themselves have been interrogated,
and have answered simply: eat us and praise the Lord."
- Alexandre Dumas(1802-1870)
French Author, known as the "father of the romance novel"
or Dumas pere.
