The universe of the rich and famous is intriguing for many of us. They live the life many of us want and they execute what we can only distantly dream for ourselves. Being a food worshipper, this time I’ll have a look at the most costly foods in the world, most exclusive drinks, desserts or seasonings.
1. Saffron is made from the saffron crocus flower. A pound of dry saffron (0.45 kg) needs an entire football field of these flowers. So naturally, prices for the spice go around US$500/pound to US$5,000/pound.
2. The costliest nut in the world is the Macadamia nut with the creamy white core. The macadamia tree makes nuts only after all its needs are fulfilled for 7-10 years. The cost of a kilogram of these nuts is above 30$.
3. The Almas caviar is the most expensive caviar in the world! ‘Almas’ is Iranian for diamond, which comes from a century old Beluga fish. Beluga caviar ranges in worth from over $5,000 per kilogram in America.
4. The priciest mushroom in the world is the white truffle. These truffles are sold at an incredible price of €2,000 and €4,000 per kilogram ($1350 - $2700 per pound). The record price being paid last year was $330,000 for 1.5kg of truffles.
5. The costliest potato in the world is the French “La Bonnotte”. Annually, only 100 tons of this top quality potato is cultivated and the cost of one kilogram can reach €500 due to its rarity.
6. The most expensive beef in the world is the beef coming from the Wagyu cows of Japan who are raised in the best farms making the meat soft and prohibitively expensive. 200 grams of a fillet cost more than 100 dollars.
7. The priciest sandwich in the world is the club sandwich from Essen aka von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich, a triple-decker delicacy made from the finest chicken, hard-boiled quails’ eggs, ham and white truffles, costing almost 200 dollars.
8. The dearest pizza in the world, priced at 8300 Euro is found in Italy. With liberal toppings of lobster and caviar, the 20cm pizza is drenched in Louis XIII Remy Martin cognac.
9. The tastiest and costliest chocolate in the world is Chocopologie by Knipschildt. Costing $2,600 per pound, this handmade chocolate truffle is available by order only.
10. The $1000 sundae from Serendipity 3 in Manhattan was launched in 2004, and in the Guinness Book of World Records, is the most expensive dessert. It has 23K edible gold leaf on it.
