I think the expense is because of the rarity of them. Apparently they can taste like a pharaohs sandal.:puke:

 

Do you have first hand experience tasting a pharaohs sandal ? I had heard they were not unlike a Nagasaki ditch diggers flip flop .....

It tastes slightly similar to garlic, and kind of mushroomy, but more earthy, and just like Athena says, once you taste it in your food, you won't forget it. The restaurants probably didn't use enough of it to be able to discern, which is almost a good thing, as it can become overpowering easily. You can get a small bottle of truffle oil for not much money at the grocery store. Take it home and smell it, and then try adding a few drops to pasta sauce, either red sauce, or a cream or cheese sauce.

 

A shop here that demos it puts creamy potato soup into dixie cups, and has you try it before and after adding a drop or two of truffle oil to it.
