Oprah Winfrey has achieved a lot in her life. She has done more than half of the things a normal person cannot achieve in a lifetime. Of course, she's no ordinary person. Interestingly, despite all that she has achieved, she was never one to draw up a bucket list. Probably finding that weird herself, she recently made one and included one item that is quite unexpected on the list: truffle hunting!

News.com.au reports that the talk show host and mogul share that she never thought of having a bucket list. But to please the fans that went to her "The Life You Want Weekend tour" in the US, she decided to make one. One fan asked her what is the on the top of her bucket list and she humored the fan by answering.

"I hadn't thought of having a bucket list. But so many of you, since this is your bucket list, I'm now thinking I might make a bucket list!" she said.

Oprah shared that in October, she would be visiting South Africa for one of her charitable endeavors. She would participate in the graduation ceremony of young women enrolled in her Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy For Girls. She shared that this is the perfect time to execute a plan she wanted to do long before.

"Every summer I've planned this and never did it," she shared. "On the way to South Africa this time, I'm stopping in Italy and I'm going on a truffle hunt with the pigs and the dogs," she said.

She could have been inspired by Forbes contributor Katie Kelly Bell's experience at a French truffle hunt back in 2012. According to Bell, truffle hunting entails having a dog who would sniff out a truffle and digging deep to get the truffle. Pigs hunting truffles was once a common practice too but it was stopped because pigs only eat the truffles they find.

Of all the things Winfrey could have added to her bucket list, truffle hunting sounds unusual. But then, Oprah was never one to do things that are normal and ordinary. Being one of the most influential persons in this world affords her to be as quirky and unique as she likes.
