There are times when you start complaining even if price of your coffee goes up a few cents. But, sometimes you just don’t care and spend loads of money on a great meal. According to a quote by American celebrity chef Paul Prudhomme, “You don’t need a silver spoon to eat good food.”
On the other hand, there are few ridiculously overpriced foods around the world that need more than a silver spoon. Probably, a bank of gold! No kidding.
Here are 10 of the world’s most expensive cuisines that can cost you a fortune just for a single bite.
# World’s most expensive cake- $106 million
Created by haute couturier Debbie Wingham, the six-foot long runway cake was fashioned to look like a catwalk ramp, featuring Noir garments, which is also Wingham’s couture clothing line. The cake was created for one of her clients based in the United Arab Emirate. To prepare this 450 kg cake, about 120 kg of fondant icing and 60 kg of modeling chocolate was used. Wingham also used 15 five-carat white diamonds, 76 two-carat black diamonds and 62 two-carat white diamonds.
# Pizza Royale 007- $4,200
Ched Domenico Crolla from Scotland has created the world’s most expensive pizza, made from champagne-soaked caviar, lobster marinated in the finest cognac and topped with 24-carat gold shavings. It has been named the Pizza Royale 007 after the expensive tastes of suave agent James Bond.
# Craftsteak’s Wagyu Ribeye- $2,800
Wagyu beef contains high percentage of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The lot is the one from Kobe, which is raised in prefecture of Hyogo in Japan.

But the restaurant is closed now and replaced with Colicchio & Sons.
# Margo’s, Malta white truffle and gold pizza- $2,420
This extremely overpriced pie comes complete with truffles flown in from Piemonte, organic water buffalo mozzarella and a 24K gold leaf. To actually have this pizza you need to let the restaurant know a week in advance. Moreover, it’s only available when the truffles are in season from October to May.
# Angelito Araneta gold sushi- $2,750
Angelito Araneta Jr., a young chef from Manila, has created this delicious gold and diamond sushi for rich snobs. Five pieces of this luxurious sushi cost around $2,750. The ingredients used in his serving of sushi are similar to any regular sushi. But what make it stand out from the rest are some thin sheets of 24-carat gold and bunch of .20-carat African diamonds.
# Gothic chicken coq au vin – $2,315
The Ayam Cemani breed of chicken has jet-black skin and also known as the ‘Gothic Chicken.’ All its organs are also black. Normally the breed is found in Indonesia, and it can be used to cook up the most gothic coq au vin of all time. Looks like a perfect dish for Halloween. If you’ve got enough money then already jot it down in your next year’s list for All Hallows’ Eve.
