Some of the World's Most Expensive Food

Most Expensive Dessert

 

If you think paying about P170 for a single scoop of ice cream at Haagen-Dazs is ridiculous, then you obviously haven't heard of The Frrrozen Haute Chocolate sundae, which they serve over at the Serendipity 3 restaurant in New York City, USA. This frozen goodness is currently the Guinness World Record holder for the "Most Expensive Dessert", which has a selling price of US$25,000, or at least P1,060,000!

So, what makes this sundae so expensive? Apparently, it is made from top-grade cocoa from 14 different countries, decorated with a truffle that costs thousands of dollars. It is also topped with at least 5 grams of edible gold, and is served on a gold goblet with 1 carat diamonds. The spoon is also decorated with 3 carat diamonds.

 

Most Expensive Omelet

Just like the chocolate sundae listed above, the world's most expensive omelet can also be found in New York City. Priced at $1,000, the Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata is served at the Le Parker Meridien Hotel. According to luxurylaunches.com, the omelet is made with "six eggs, the tail of a roasted Maine Lobster, 10 ounces of Sevruga caviar, all priced for a $1,000. The caviar used in the Zillion Dollar Frittata supposedly comes from the Caspian Sea sturgeon and retails for $80-$170 an ounce."

 

Most Expensive Sandwich

The von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich, priced at $200, may be found at Cliveden's Waldo Restaurant in Berkshire, United Kingdom, and was created by James Parkinson. Weighing 530 grams, the sandwich is made from Iberico Ham (cured for 30 months), white truffles, quail eggs, Italian tomatoes (semi-dried), poulet de Bresse,  and fermented sour dough bread. According to it's creator, “The Platinum Club sandwich is made from the very finest ingredients and the taste is simply sublime. It’s a sandwich that lives-up to the sumptuous setting of Cliveden and its magnificent culinary pedigree.”

Most Expensive Hot Dog

The most expensive hot dog in the world right now is yet another creation of the chefs over at the Serendipity 3 restaurant in New York City. This hot dog is called the Foot Long Haute Dog, currently priced at $69. It is made from pure beef grilled in white truffle oil. The buns, meanwhile, are shipped in from Germany, toasted in truffle butter. Luxurylaunches.com adds that "this 30 cm roll will be served with medallions of duck foie gras with black truffles, black truffle Dijon mustard, caramelized Vidalia onions and heirloom tomato ketchup."
