I got myself a camera (and I'm nervous about truffles)

I finally got myself a camera (8.1 MP sony cyber-shot) and it's gorgeous and why else would I need a camera other than to blog with?
So let's excuse my absence and get started.
I went to Dubai twice over the past weekend and along with some standard can't-buy-it-here foods (whole wheat pastas, vegan margarine, Amy's kitchen foods, organic english muffins, etc..) I came across this Italian food cart thing. It was near the end of my second day of shopping, which was a relief since otherwise I would've spent all my money.
This is what I did end up getting:

There's some Bruschetta with Truffle, and salt with truffle. Each are 6% black truffle. I'm so excited about these but also nervous. I don't think I've ever had truffle before. What if I don't like it? Or what if this is just bad but truffle is good but I never try them again cause this scares me from them? So it might be some time before you actually see these products being put to use, but I can tell you for sure I'll be looking at them lovingly in my cuboard everyday.

UPDATE Wait a second! Are truffles vegan? People suck and they need to use dogs or pigs to hunt these fungi down. So what does that make truffles? This reminds me of the Steven the Vegan video "If a monkey made you a sandwich would you eat it?"

So what do you think? Truffles; vegan or not?
