Selfridges The Best Store in The World
Selfridges, also known as Selfridges & Co, is a chain of high end department stores in the UK. Founded by Harry Gordon Selfridge the TV series about him and his stores has helped to publicise the ethos and driving force that continues to steer the brand today.

The White Truffle
Truffles can sell for thousands and the largest are sold at auction for hundreds of thousands. Truffles are the strong-smelling fruit of a subterranean Ascomycete fungus that grows in broadleaved woodland on calcareous soils. They are considered a culinary delicacy.
