The world's biggest truffle was found in Istrian peninsula in Croatia, weighing 1.3 kg! The Croatian name for a cook is KUHAR. It is interesting that in Istria (important peninsula on western part of Croatian coast), near the town of Zminj, there is a small village of Kuhari (= cooks). Moreover, mr. Josip Pino Kuhar, born in the village of Kuhari, is outstanding kuhar in Croatia. On the photo, Gordon Ramsay with Croatian truffles.
