Why can we describe food better than we can describe a movie?
PIGHEADED By Adam Leipzig
Good morning, class. Today we’ll talk about language. Let’s compare these two passages. They are both from a recent edition of the LA Times. Our question is, Why can we describe food better than we can describe a movie?

Why are truffles SO expensive?
You may have heard earlier this week that the world's largest truffle (at 3.3 pounds) sold at auction for $330,000—the largest sum ever paid for a single specimen of the rarified fungal delicacy. The auction, which was held simultaneously in London, Florence and Macau, was won by Macau casino magnate Stanley Ho, who outbid luxo-artist Damien Hirst (of multi-million-dollar diamond skull fame), among others. Ho's plans for the 'shroom are still unknown.
