There's truffle afoot at the Arboretum

Jamaica Plain News roots out the news that researchers have discovered a previously unknown species of truffles in our very own Arnold Arboretum. No word when we can expect truffles-mad pigs to start snouting around the grounds.

That's a new truffle to add to the shuffle.

They have the nose for it, and unlike pigs, aren't interested in eating the truffles they dig up.

Yeah, but in order for them to find the truffles, they'll have to be offleash. Do that, and you'll have twenty people in here screaming about the breakdown of civil society.

If it's a new species with a native range of just the Arboretum, I'm sure it's protected, but I'd love to see restaurants in JP/Roslindale/West Rox start serving pasta with shaved tuber arnoldianum. Serious locavorism.

The vast majority of the food isn't even grown in this state. A few shavings of a local truffle hardly makes it locavorism and the environmentally friendliness that implies.

It wasn't even a complaint, so there was no need for your response that way.
