Cursed Knowledge #25: Truffle Hunting
December 1, 2023·3 comments·In Brief
Cursed Knowledge is our podcast that explores how narratives, for better and worse, have shaped our world without us noticing. The world is full of people pushing their version of reality on us and it’s time to expose the truth. No matter how much you might wish we hadn’t.
Truffles are well known to be one of the rarest, and most expensive, delicacies available. What’s not known is the cutthroat world of truffle hunting. Where it’s not uncommon to see fraud, theft, sabotage, and even murder.

Interesting video from the WSJ on an American Truffle Farm in NC— https://youtu.be/hYijBOru4Vs?si=FFqeiOISokEOIJqx
Yes! I can’t believe I forgot that! It’s the perfect example.
Highly recommend the 2021 Nicolas Cage movie “Pig” (available to stream on Hulu right now) that is a beautiful movie about a man who’s truffle hunting pig is kidnapped (and goes completely unexpectedly in the most non-John Wick/Liam Neeson direction).
