This is one rich cup of haute chocolate: A New York eatery is offering a $25,000 dessert bulging with top-grade cocoa, edible gold and shavings of a luxury truffle.
The Frrrozen Haute Chocolate was declared the most expensive dessert in the world on Wednesday by Guinness World Records.
The dessert is a frozen, slushy mix of cocoas from 14 countries, milk and 5 grams of 24-carat gold topped with whip cream and shavings from a La Madeline au Truffle.
It is served in a goblet with a band of gold decorated with 1 carat of diamonds and served with a golden spoon diners can take home.
The dessert was created by Serendipity 3, a restaurant popular with tourists and once featured in a John Cusack movie.
My thoughts:
It seems that the rich have run out of things to speed their money on.
I hope that they realize their foolishness when they defecate later.
Can you imagine what we could do with that kind of money? Can you imagine what the Girl's Home in India could do? All that money for A (single, one time enjoyment) dessert?? Give me a break. I think vanity is a very appropriate title.
ReplyDeleteWe were talking about it in the car this morning. I couldn't even ENJOY something that cost that much! What a foolish waste of money!
