I was actually going to ask you if you know where I can get truffle paste? Seeing as how truffles are expensive and pretty much unavailable here and also given that I would only use it as a component for a range of sauces, the paste will do (for my uneducated palate) but I am having a hard time sourcing it.

Any speciality store here in the UK should have it.
alternatively get a cheap flight over here, arrange with a veg supplier (you can use mine if you like) to get the truffles in and then take them back with you to your home.
It'd probably be cheaper doing this and being able to make your own paste than to buy it in.
Truffles are going up at a remarkable rate - the sooner you get here... the better
Heard an interesting story from a chef the other day...
This fella flies to Italy a few times a month, buys a fortune worth of White Truffle and then flies to the States and sells it there for a huge profit!
He's overwhelmed with demand LOL... thats until Customs cares to have a look!
