PollDo you like Truffle?

I love the flavor of truffle, but both my parents find it to be too strong. My father especially scrunches his face at the aroma.
EDIT: Truffles are a particular mushroom that grow underground beneath trees. They can only be hunted, not farmed, as the exact requirements they need to form are too hard to replicate by human means. They are a culinary delicacy, and are one of the world’s most expensive ingredients per pound. With that being said, a little bit goes a long way, as they have a distinct potent aroma and earthy umami taste.
I like actual truffles and some truffle flavored stuff but the truffle oil to me tastes terrible.
I think they usually use synthetic flavouring for the oils.
