Rich Foods II

Now let’s take a look at some fast foods, beverages, drinks etc that rock the celebrity world of glitz, glamour, and if I may say so, a certain megalomania.

11. The most expensive omelet in the world can be savored at the Le Parker Meridien restaurant of New York. The $1,000 omelet is prepared from sevruga caviar, an entire lobster, and half a dozen eggs. Want to have it homemade? The cost will be only $700.

12. The world’s supreme and costliest coffee is Kopi Luwak. The coffee comes from Sumatra in Indonesia and only around 500 pounds of beans is totally produced annually. And the price of a pound is $300 or more.

13. The recent record for the dearest tea is held by a uncommon Chinese green tea called Tieguanyin, which rates at 1,700 Yuan ($3,000) per kilo (per 2 lb 3 oz) approximately $15 for a single cup.

14. The world’s most classy tea bag for the PG Company was created to celebrate their 75th anniversary. It is manually embellished with 280 diamonds and is worth £7,500.

15. The world’s most expensive champagne is the Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque Blanc de Blanc, made from especially picked grapes, sold in hand painted containers and with a worth of around $1,500.

16. The priciest whisky in the world is said to be the Macallan Fine Rare Vintage. Only 85 bottles being made public world-wide, tasting this 30 year old is a rare treat. Price of a single bottle is $38,000!

17. Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum is just the most popular high strength rum in the world, bottled in 1940. Only four bottles exist of this precious liquor, each fetching approximately $53,000.

18. “Diamonds-Are-Forever” is the most expensive cocktail in the world, although it has no special components. The only justification for having the €11,000 price tag is that the olive is substituted by a 1.6 carat diamond. Served in the hotel Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo.

19. The most expensive beer in the world is priced around $1,000 a bottle and is called Vielle Bon Secours and can only be tasted in a bar known as the Bierdrome in London.

20. The most expensive drinks list will finally come to vodka. Diva Vodka, made by the Blackwood Distillery of Scotland is the world’s costliest vodka. Judging on your option of “crystal decoration” the price of a single bottle deviates from £35 to a mind-blowing £540,000!

21. Kona Nigari water, takes the crown for the world’s most expensive water. The desalinized water filled with minerals from the bottomless seas off Hawaii, is priced at $16.75 per ounce.
