 I saw this on the food network and the restaurant who sells these actually sell about 2 a week.  One couple shared it for their anniversary.  It was very intriguing to watch how they make this.  This sounds and looks absolutely delicious!  *sigh*

 [span class="rss:item"][/span][a name="025490"] Made with "5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela's coast. The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It's sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac. The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgence served with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel."

 yeah, but this one is made from ingredients that are extremely rare, especially the chocolate.  

this makes my milkshake from White Spot that I like so much feel worthless.. :(  hee hee...

lol. Doesn't beat homemade though followed by a good time. Usually you remember those better and not so much for the hole in the wallet.

Yes. I just had that.

  Oh wait. That was when I was dreaming I was super rich. *sigh*

  Anyone tried Feenie's burger yet? Y'know, the burger that cost $50 or so?

Definitly fit for a fruitcake to pay the bill...

  Ah the shallowness and stupidity of the rich and not famous in my eyes...

  I saw 2 fish at the Atlanta aquarium, supposely in China they pay $US 10 000 to eat one... When I think I eat only fish and chips...

That cake must be the maniac bourgeois version of the needle in the apple Halloween trick.

  "Here my little one, take a good piece of cake"...

  Hmmm remind me a famous scene in Salo from Pasolini, the naked chick with the nails in the cake...

P.C.

Hey purelife......what site did you find those on?  I'd love to see more.

I think that I just googled, PC.  I'll try to find more expensive food, but add your findings when you find some, too, k?  :)

This is expensive food, if you can call it food.

It doesn't say how much this Italian cheese costs. Whatever the price, it is too much.

  "The cheese is typically consumed with Sardinian bread ([A title="Pane carasau" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pane_carasau"]pane carasau[/A]) and [A title=Cannonau href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonau"]Cannonau[/A], a strong red wine."



No fricken kidding, a strong wine. Not even after a bottle of tequila would I be tempted.
