Why not treat yourself to some truffles, its not likley your going to find any in the UK, so why not order some from this great online gormy food web site. I bought some and they were great with most foods. Although expensive, very worthwhile to get that mushroom flavour.
Truffles go best with simple foods like scrambled eggs, omelettes, pasta, rice, or a typical meat dish, with truffle thinly, delicately sliced over it. While you might think you need a special truffle knife, a regular paring knife or a mandolin will do just as nicely to shave the truffles. In fact, you will release even more flavor out of a truffle if you break it up and mash it with a fork. Garlic, onion, chives, leek, celery, celery root, and parmesan enhance its flavor, and many recipes pair them with scallops, crayfish, foie gras, asparagus or cabbage.
Keep it simple, though, if you want to enjoy the aroma and taste that will enhance just about any food.
Why not even buy some for a foody friend....a great present
