London restaurant snaps up world's most expensive truffle

A London restaurant dished out a record £28,000 (€39,900) for a 1.88 lbs Italian white truffle during a charity auction in Tuscany.

The restaurant, Zafferano, which means saffron, beat off other bidders to take home the delicacy, said Daniel Pescini, an official in San Miniato, the village where the truffle was found.
