I couldn't agree more with this statement.  'They are allright' hits the nail on the head.  And,
for my money, 'allright' just doesn't warrant the price.  I like Alligator, and Albino Alligator
is very, very rare...but it would be a hot January before you'd see me shelling out 53,000 clams
for the ugly bastard.  Give me a good, earthy, *moderatley priced* Porcini mushroom over a truffle
any day of the week.

Of course, there may be some on this list who recall my diatribe on Saffron a few years back....
blech!
