the worlds 8 most expensive ingredients

1)      Yubari King Melons (yes, that’s a $26,000 f-ing melon!)

2)      White Truffles (still no way of harvesting without pigs / dogs)

3)      Swiftlet Nest (a real birds nest made from its saliva. Seriously, WTF?)

4)      Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale (aged balsamic – $200 for 100ml which compared to fine wine doesn’t seem that dear?)

5)      Kopi Luwak (coffee that has passed through the digestive system of a nocturnal catlike animal called a civet – perfectly normal behaviour. What nutter tried that for the first time?)

6)      Jamón Ibérico de Bellota (ham – $1,300 for a leg)

7)      Saffron ($30 per gram)

8)      Sturgeon Caviar (fish eggs that taste like salty shit – $12 per gram, which translates into roughly $500 per serving. Purrrlease.)
