 With the condition that you want a giant truffle in your life, you better make haste, because the bidding ends today.

The blurb on OpenSea says, “The winner of the auction will be invited to enjoy a private day of truffle-hunting demonstrations (searching for truffles with dogs or pigs) in Saint-Cirq-Madelon, in the Périgord, Bernard Planche’s estate. The day will end with a meal on site with the Surprise du Chef!”
