The word truffle comes from the portmanteauing of trumpet and raffle.
Because before pigs were utilized to locate them, people would fill a trumpet with coordinates and play "The Raffle Shuffle" on it. Whichever set of coordinates shot out during the protracted high C were believed to indicate the location of a truffle on a standard Ordnance Survey map.
