The Dumbest Expensive Foods?

Here are some of the most

expensive

foods

! And wait until you hear how much Salt Bae charges just to add a little gold to a steak! 10 - Rolls Royce of Tacos For the modest price of $25 THOUSAND dollars, you can get the most exclusive taco in the world! You'll just have to go to Frida's restaurant at Grand Velas Los Cabos Resort, on the Pacific coast of Mexico. In this taco, of course, there is gold involved: an infusion of gold is found in the corn tortillas. There is also the exquisite combination of Kobe beef, beluga caviar, civet coffee, brie cheese with black truffle, prawns and dried morita chili sauce.

As if all of these ingredients weren't enough, even MORE gold is added to the taco as a garnish. Let's keep in mind that the 25 thousand are all for ONE taco. How many of these tacos do you think have been sold so far? Tell us what you think in this survey!

Their mission is to provide an unforgettable experience to whoever buys their billion-dollar popcorn. And of course, it's covered in gold. But that's not just that.

There's organic sugar, Vermont Creamery butter, and Nielsen Massey Bourbon Vanilla. There is a very special salt that brings it all together and it is only produced on the Danish island of Laeso. According to ancient mythology, the island of Laeso was a place where many gods celebrated. That's why this salt is so special. The process to create it is known to be at least a thousand years old and the salt supposedly does not taste like any other salt. The creator of Berco's popcorn had to make some calls to the Danish consulate, fly to Denmark, and have a meeting in an office that was behind a pair of bank vault-style doors. 8 - Pizza Louis XIII Renato Viola is one of the best Italian Master Pizza Chefs in the world.

That's why he charges eighty three hundred euros for the most

expensive

pizza in the world! He is a proud member of the Italian Acrobatic Pizza Team. This team has won several awards in pizza-making competitions in Italy and throughout Europe. So what's on pizza? Let's say there are a lot of expensive ingredients. The dough is made with certified organic, naturally leavened flour and fine flakes of pink salt from Australia's Murray River. The salt is highly mineralized and flaky and gives the dough a delicate flavor and texture. And the dough takes 72 hours to prepare for some reason. Then there is caviar.

And not just one, but THREE different types of caviar! There is also lobster, prawns and a special mantis shrimp. So far, this is a pizza for seafood lovers. Then there are SEVEN different types of cheese, including organic buffalo mozzarella. Well, then there are the drinks to accompany the pizza. It is served with Remy Martin's Louis XIII cognac and Krug's Clos Du Mesnil 1995, a fruity champagne. That's where all those euros will go! Is this pizza too fancy or not? Let us know in the comments! 7 - Bird's Nest Soup Bird's Nest Soup is exactly what you think it is: a soup made with a bird's nest.

But this is where it gets interesting. Chinese culture relies on its special properties, which the Chinese believe help people stay younger. A diet that includes at least 10 grams of bird's nest soup daily is said to help increase your chances of maintaining energy and a youthful appearance for longer. No wonder people pay a fortune for this dish; A kilo of white nests can sell for up to $2000 dollars, while a kilo of red nests can sell for up to TEN thousand dollars! The type of nest used for soup is only produced by a very specific type of bird, the swiftlet that lives in Southeast Asia.

Swiftlets are known to be an endangered species. With the increasing tendency of the Chinese to consume huge quantities of soup made from their nests, the chances of swiftlets surviving are decreasing by the minute. 6 - Chocolate pudding $35,000 dollars is what the most expensive chocolate pudding in the world costs. But this dessert is much more than gold-covered chocolate pudding. It is the combination of some of the most expensive ingredients. A diamond was even thrown! Starting with a light cookie joconde on the bottom, this chocolate pudding is spread across a layer of champagne gelatin specially created for this concoction.

Then, the dark chocolate base is decorated with edible gold leaves and a diamond. This pudding can only be found at the Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in England. The pudding was first bought by a 60-year-old man who wanted to spend money on his birthday. This pudding broke the record for the most expensive dessert in the world at the time! 5 - White Beluga Caviar from Almas Caviar is known as the food par excellence of the rich. But there is one specific caviar that takes it to the next level. Known as the creator of the rarest white Beluga caviar on the market, the Iranian brand Almas has managed to create an air of mystery around caviar production.

Almas Beluga White caviar currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most expensive caviar in the world. It is created using only eggs from a rare 100+ year old albino sturgeon! As sturgeon ages, their eggs apparently become softer and more aromatic, with a spongier texture. A kilo of this caviar will cost you about 25 thousand dollars. But if you feel like trying it, 30 grams costs around $330! 4 – Yubari King Melon The Yubari King Melon will be hard to beat when it comes to expensive fruits. In 2016, a pair of these melons were auctioned for an incredible amount of over $27,000! This melon is as exclusive as it gets because it can only be produced in the Yubari region of Japan.

Yubari King Melon is known for its very sweet flavor, which is not very common in a melon. Not only is it considered a delicacy among food connoisseurs, but it has also seen some of the highest bidding wars ever known for a fruit. The auction winner said he felt the need to support the farmers of the Yubari region, who he believes provide some of the best fruits in the world year after year. Although the price he paid is not the usual price for these melons. Their usual price range is still quite high. The normal ones are still quite expensive.

They cost between $50 and $100 dollars a piece! 3 - Golden Opulence Sundae One thousand dollars and a reservation 48 hours in advance is what it takes to try the Golden opulence Sundae in New York City! This sundae is made at Serendipity 3, a highly exclusive restaurant on New York's Upper East Side. The Golden Opulence sundae is a blend of Tahitian vanilla ice cream, infused with a layer of Madagascar vanilla, topped with pieces of Venezuela's finest chocolate and Amedei Porcelana chocolate syrup. All of this is covered, of course, by a generous layer of 24-karat gold leaf! 2 - Golden Steak By now, we feel that anything with gold is as gimmicky as it seems!

THIS golden steak comes from a guy whose entire business empire EXPLODED because of a stunt! Who would have thought that Salt Bae sprinkling salt from his hands in a specific way would have made him a star? Salt Bae, also known as Nus’ret, recently started offering gold-dipped steaks. Without the gold leaf, their Tomahawk steaks already cost a pricey $275. With gold? It's $1,000 dollars! In case you were wondering, no edible gold is not that expensive at all. 10 sheets of edible gold leaf are only $25 dollars at Walmart, and that's not buying in bulk! But what's the point of having gold in food anyway?

Gold has no flavor or taste. It has no metallic taste because it does not dissolve in the mouth. And there is essentially no texture because edible gold is so fine! All gold gives is presentation! So what do diners get when they order a seared steak? In reality, a seared steak only draws the attention of people sitting nearby. Salt Bae may want to introduce the steaks with sparklers, like ordering a big, expensive bottle of champagne at a club to promote sales! But one thing you DEFINITELY don't want to do is serve it completely randomly! That was Duane Miranda's experience when he visited the Salt Bae restaurant in Miami with his friends.

They ordered a few steaks on their night out. The steaks arrived covered in gold, but they didn't think much of it. Well, that was until a bill arrived for over $5,000 dollars! Duane and his friends protested that they never ordered the golden steak. Then the staff called the police! Simply put, they were forced to foot the bill. What would you do in that situation? Let us know in the comments! 1 - Bluefin Tuna The Tuna King attacks again! This time it was for $3.1 million! In January 2019, Kiyoshi Kimura set another record when he purchased a 612-pound bluefin tuna at the Tsukiji fish market auctions.

The Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo is known for offering some of the best seafood in all of Japan, if not the world. They are also well known for their fish tendering process where prices fly by the second. Kimura broke his own record that he set in 2013 when he bought another bluefin tuna for the price of 1.7 million dollars. These prices are set as a publicity stunt, and Kimura has been the highest bidder at the New Year's auction for 8 of the last nine years. On a normal day, a fish of similar size would sell for around $60,000. The album is all about status because it generates a lot of publicity for Kimura and his sushi empire.

The famous bluefin tuna is found off the northeast coast of Japan. The problem is overfishing, which has turned bluefin tuna into an endangered species. This is what's next!
