Meaning and background
The story behind Truffles
Truffles is the plural of Truffle, so it can refer either to edible underground fungi or to individual chocolate sweets. Those two senses are related historically but should not be confused in a name entry. A plural food name has a different cadence from the singular, although the same dictionary etymology underlies both spellings. No claim is made about a particular dog's taste for either food.
