What is the most expensive food you have ever eaten?

Some examples:The spice saffron has built a reputation for being more expensive than gold -- fetching up to $2,700 per pound in recent years. The world's most expensive caviar is a type of Iranian beluga called Almas. Pale amber in color, it comes from sturgeons that are between 60 and 100 years old.

A 3.9-pound container will set you back $48,750. At $2,600 per pound, Chocopologie by Knipschildt Chocolatier of Connecticut is the world's most expensive box of chocolates. The von Essen Platinum club sandwich at the Cliveden House Hotel near London is the world's most expensive sandwich at $197.

Weighing just over a pound, the sandwich is made of the finest ingredients, including Iberico ham cured for 30 months, quail eggs, white truffles, semi-dried Italian tomatoes, and 24-hour fermented sourdough bread.

French Truffles and Kobe beef The French Truffles were going for around $500 a lb (at the time I had some), shaved over a wild mushroom risotto. I did think they were extremely flavorful, and added just the right finishing touch to an already excellent dish. The chef is a friend of mine, and he sent me home with a little "button" of truffle in a brown bag, as a gift.

Guilty confession time: I forgot it was in the frig! My friend who is a wild mushroom broker came by later in the week, and almost blew a gasket. He pulled it out and promptly scrambled some eggs, to shave the truffle over, and he was in a state of ecstasy.

He pocketed the remaining truffle, aware that I did not give it the reverence it was due. My second most expensive "taste" was while I was at a business dinner with a bunch of men and I think they went temporarily insane, because they all ordered a Kobe New York Steak - at $100. I ordered a petite filet mignon.

I tasted theirs, and I actually preferred mine, but they really raved about the Kobe steaks. @Goldie_Bah_Humbug's Recommendations Field Guide to North American Truffles: Hunting, Identifying, and Enjoying the World's Most Prized Fungi Amazon List Price: $16.95 Used from: $8.99 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (based on 4 reviews) Taming the Truffle: The Lore, and Science of the Ultimate Mushroom Amazon List Price: $29.95 Used from: $12.24 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 (based on 2 reviews) .

Creativity is my favorite The most expensive ingredient I ever ate was a Kobe beef, actually from Kobe, Japan. It’s a bargain compared to the saffron, at a mere $150 a pound. It was good.

Really good. I'm not exactly rushing out to do it again, but it was probably the tastiest, tenderest steak I've ever had. It should be, at that price.

But it was not the most expensive meal I ever ate. That would be at Minibar, Jose Andres’ molecular gastronomy restaurant in Washington DC. It had two dozen tiny courses of astonishing complexity and creativity.

The chefs told me that they had to examine three crates of avocados to find the four perfect avocados to make their take on guacamole. The sea urchin was served with jasmine-scented foam. The "mojito" came as a blob wrapped in a perfect, seamless gelatin skin that exploded in your mouth.

The ingredients themselves weren’t expensive; it was the shocking amount of effort that went into turning that into dinner. The two chefs worked for nine hours before dinner, then proceeded to serve only two seatings of six people each. They work 14 hours per day, six days a week.

I asked them what they do on their off day. They spend it volunteering in another restaurant, learning from that chef. These guys really, really think a lot about food.It was an astonishing meal, and at $300 for two people (it was a birthday gift to a foodie friend), a very expensive evening.

And I didn’t even have any wine. But it was one meal I’ll remember for the rest of my life. I was once in the presence of a few young entrepreneurs sharing a $600 bottle of Petrus, but I couldn’t bring myself to participate, being dirt poor, even though they were happy to let me have some.

Steak This may be regular to a ton of Askvillers but I have been scratching my head and the only thing I can come up with is the Ruth's Chris steak I had with my boss. It was $44 for the filet and it was so good. I believe that is the most expensive thing I have ever eaten.

I had a bite of a 20 pound lobster (maybe it was a 10 pound lobster- I don't know I just remember it looked like the biggest creature I had ever seen in my cottage in NH) when I was a kid and I'm sure they paid over $100 for the bugger but I didn't like it and still don't. I'm sure a $100-$120 dollars was a lot for one lobster in say 1976 or so. I had drank Pomegranate juice at $9.99 and think that's expensive!

Ha So yes I can say that I believe the most expensive thing I have eaten would be that filet.

I haven't eaten yet like those you have mentioned but I dream of it someday. Since I only come from a poor family, I haven't eaten so expensive food but I really dream in my own or just imagine how good must be my life if I can experience that one day in my lifetime. I only have eaten I think are expensive but not like that.

I could build a house with those price. Sources: MY OWN OPINION.

2 It's not something I'd recommend to just anybody. You really have to be fascinated by food to find it interesting. Otherwise, it's just weird.

Some of the other surreal items on the menu:* A drop of olive oil, encased in a coating of a non-sweet sugar that dissolves on your tongue* Saffron gumdrops for dessert* A "deconstructed glass of wine": a plate of plain gelatin with pinches of the core flavors that make up white wine. * Foie gras wrapped in cotton candy* Quail eggs soft-boiled at precisely 63F, served with caviarAnd on and on. Just amazing stuff.

There are other notions around the country; I was just reading about one in Chicago. And they continually change the menu; it's probably totally different now. I may just have to go back again and see what's up.My friend has another birthday coming...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
