The Most Expensive Thanksgiving Dinner

The Arabic Rood Recipes Kitchen presents The Most Expensive Thanksgiving Dinner!!!

The cost of the average Thanksgiving dinner is around $45. That�s for ten people, and it includes dessert. But that $45 wouldn�t have gotten you very far at Cafe Gray�s infamous Thanksgiving dinner in 2006. Dinner for 12 at their chef�s table was prix fixe at $10,000. That�s about $833 a head, compared to the average American�s $4.50 a head.

To call this legendary event a �dinner�, however, is somewhat misleading. Thanksgiving Day at Gray�s began with a breakfast of cornflake-crusted french toast, scrambled eggs, brioche, bacon, and a viewing of the famous Macy�s Day Parade on giant plasma screens. I think it�s a little bizarre to watch the parade on TV when you�re actually in New York City and can just step outside and see the whole thing firsthand, but I guess you get a lot more elbow room kicking back at the chef�s table.

Around noon, Chef Gray did a personal turkey-carving demonstration, and then the brasserie bar opened to serve hors d�oeuvres to football fans, who watched NFL games on the bespoke plasma screen TVs. Dinner began with a salad of fennel and blood oranges, drizzled in a poppy seed vinaigrette. Next came truffled butternut potage and lobster and crabmeat gratin, followed by an organic lemon-thyme roasted turkey. Finally, for dessert there was pumpkin custard, key lime pie, and something called �million dollar pie�. I�m not sure what�s in �million dollar pie�, but the name seems a fitting end to a meal that costed over eight bills a head.

The World's Most Expensive Pizza

The Arabic Rood Recipes Kitchen presents to you the World's Most  Expensive Pizza.

Pizza is one of the staples of the modern American diet, especially amongst the young and the lower class. It�s generally regarded as a cheap and convenient meal with more going for it than its fast food competition. So when we heard about chef Domenico Crolla�s �Pizza Royale 007?, we were quite shocked. It didn�t seem likely that someone would have set out to make the world�s most expensive pizza when usually pizza is such a low budget meal.

The 12 inch pizza pie is densely packed with an assortment of some of the world�s most expensive food ingredients, such as lobster marinated in cognac, caviar soaked in champagne, sunblush tomato sauce, Scottish smoked salmon, venison medallions, prosciutto, and vintage balsamic vinegar. In addition to all these fine ingredients, it�s topped with a significant amount of edible 24-carat gold flakes.

Mr. Crolla originally claimed that the novelty luxury pizza was worth some $3,700, and he would auction it on eBay and donate the proceeds to The Fred Hollows Foundation. The Fred Hollows Foundation is a UK organization that seeks to eradicate avoidable blindness in developing countries. The auction ended November 19, 2006 with the highest bid by Italian lawyer Maurizio Morelli reaching �2,150 (approx. $4,200 in US dollars). Morelli is a charitable food connoisseur from Rome who also collects fine wines and truffles. The Guinness Book of World Records is reviewing the details of the pizza�s sale and it is under consideration for taking the record for �World�s Most Expensive Pizza� from a less extravagant white truffle pizza created by Gordon Ramsay�s Maze restaurant in London.

Most Expensive Bread

Harrods, London�s premier department store, now carries a most luxurious loaf. Britain�s most expensive bread and, if you believe some of the hype surrounding it, the most expensive bread in the world, the Roquefort and Almond sourdough is created with some of the finest ingredients money can buy.

Master baker Paul Hollywood, creator of the bread, calls it the �Rolls-Royce of loafs.� The bread, which contains no additives and no artificial flavors, is made with grade A flour from a specialist miller and France�s finest Roquefort cheese.

The bread, recognized as Britain�s most expensive by the National Association of Master Bakers, will be sold at Harrods for �15 (US $24.50). They expect the bread will do particularly well during the holiday season.

World�s Most Expensive Baked Potato

The baked potato may not be the most healthful item on your plate but, thanks to chef Ben Kingdon of The Cary Arms, it could be the priciest.

The Cary Arms is �The Inn on the Beach� in the coastal town of Torquay in Devon county, England. It�s there that Kingdon produces the gastropub food for which the inn is known�including the most expensive baked potato in the world.

The 24-year-old chef refers to this delicacy as the �tuxedo spud,� as a baked potato is known in Great Britain as a �jacket potato.� The potato�s flesh has been mixed with creme fraiche, lemon, chives and spring onions, and topped with caviar. Sides include balsamic-roasted vine tomatoes and a side salad, served with the potato on a wooden board. The dish is served with a glass of champagne.

The expensive potato is priced at �40�US $60. Unfortunately, only one was ordered in the two weeks after its debut.

World�s Top 10 Most Expensive Foods

Food is daily eaten to provide nutritional support for the body. And if you are a kind of person who loves delicious foods, why not try following most expensive foods in the world some day? They are all made of luxurious ingredients from all over continents. Let�s discover the names of top ten most costly foods.

Italian White Alba Truffle � $160,406/1.5 kilos

 
Expensive truffles are notoriously pricey because they are difficult to cultivate. So they are called the king of all fungi. The Associate Press reported that a real estate investor and his wife from Hong Kong have paid �125,000 ($160,406 USD) for a gigantic Italian White Alba truffle which weighs about 1.51 kilograms.

Almas Caviar � $25,000/kilos

 
Almas caviar, which is extremely rare and expensive, comes from Iran. Almas means diamond in Iran. Eggs are taken from white sturgeons which are over hundreds of years old. Therefore, it is not hard to understand in English Almas caviar is sold for about $25,000/ kilo.

Yubari Melons � $22,872/ pair

Regardless of the quality, a pair of Yubari melons is the world�s most expensive cantaloupes because they were the first auction of the 2008 season in Japan.

Dansuke Watermelon � $6,100/fruit

A Dansuke watermelon in Japan becomes the most expensive watermelon in the world with the price of $6,100. This is a type of black watermelon grown only on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. There are only sixty-five of the fruits among the first harvest season. They are harder and crisper than normal watermelons.

Domenico Crolla�s �Pizza Royale 007? � $4200/ pie

The 12-inch pizza pie is regarded as the world�s most expensive pizza with the most expensive ingredients such as lobster marinated in cognac, caviar soaked in champagne, sunblush tomato sauce, Scottish smoked salmon, and so on. In addition to all these fine ingredients, it�s topped with 24-carat gold flakes.

Samundari Khazana, the World�s Most Expensive Curry � $3200/ dish

To celebrate the DVD release of �Slumdog Millionaire�, Bombay Brassiere packed this curry platter full of the most expensive ingredients they could find. The food includes Devon crab and white truffle and Beluga caviar. In addition, it has a Scottish lobster, four abalones and four shelled and hollowed quails� eggs.

Wagyu Steak � $2800/ dish

This is a dish from Japan made of Kobe beef, a very special type of beef in Japan. Kobe beef comes from cows that are allegedly fed only beer and massaged by hand to ensure a tenderness and marbling beyond compare. You can enjoy this dish at New York City�s Craftsteak, the U.S. with the price of $2800.

The Zillion Dollar Frittata � $1000/ pie

This expensive breakfast consists of eggs, lobster and 10 ounces of sevruga caviar which costs $65 per ounce. On the menu of the restaurant, there are much more expensive foods than the Zillion Dollar Frittata.

Matsutake Mushrooms � $1000/pound 

Matsutake mushroom is expensive mainly because of its rarity. Previously, the fungus was common in autumn in Japan; however, several pesticides increasingly appeared on the trunk where matsutake live. A method for farming the matsutake has yet to be developed, which means the lack of trees from which to harvest these mushrooms naturally is a serious problem for the species.

The World�s Most Expensive Bagel � $1000/ pie

Bagel is cooked by Executive Chef Frank Tujague for New York�s Westin Hotel. It is topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry. The bagel�s price is justified when you consider that white truffles happen to be the second most expensive food by weight, eclipsed only by caviar.

The world's Most Expensive Salad

Regular readers might expect the most expensive salad in the world to be sprinkled with edible gold leaf and topped with enormous brilliant cut diamonds. In this case, however, the dish itself is deserving of the price tag�even if it does have a bit of gold leaf.

The Florette Sea and Earth salad was devised by Chef Raymond Blanc for the Hempel Hotel in London in July 2003. It contained Almas golden caviar, Beluga caviar, kreel-caught langoustines, Cornish crab and lobster, plus Florette baby leaf salad tossed in premium olive oil, along with grated truffle placed in a basket hand-made from courgettes, red peppers and potato and decorated with gold leaf. A serving cost �635.60.
