edible gold foil.
A wealthy local tyrant family often needs gold for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the application of edible gold foil in food shows the status and wealth of the owner.
Gold foil itself is not edible, but is only used to decorate food, improve the grade of food and show the status of the owner. Gold foil is expensive because of the word "pure". Real 24k pure gold. Gold has extremely low activity, can't react with other materials, and can't be absorbed in human body. The quality of gold foil is very light, even if it cannot be digested and absorbed, it will not affect the health of the body.
The most expensive piece of chocolate is several thousand yuan, while a piece of chocolate covered with gold foil can sell for more than one hundred thousand yuan. It is unhealthy, tasteless, and will not increase the taste and mouthfeel of food. The reason for eating gold foil is only because it is expensive. This is the purest means of showing off wealth, in a word: "rich and willful."
2. Iranian pearl caviar.
Iranian pearl caviar is one of the most expensive wild ingredients in the world. Every 1 grams of Iranian pearl caviar can be sold for 1.5 million yuan, with an average of 3, yuan per bite. Although caviar is already very expensive, the rich still have to sprinkle gold foil on it and wrap every caviar in gold to show the dignity of the owner.
This caviar comes from an endangered species-Iranian white sturgeon. The breeding conditions of white sturgeon are very harsh. Although the name has the word "Iran", the sturgeon used to produce this kind of caviar is from Britain. Usually from farms in northern England. The harsh breeding conditions are that if you want to make caviar into a commodity, you must first let the white sturgeon produce full caviar. The water temperature should be cold, but not too cold, generally between-15 C and-2 C. There can't be too many impurities in the water. If you want to ensure the ultimate taste, most sturgeons can't have children, and the best sturgeons only lay eggs once every 22 years. Therefore, Iranian white sturgeon is also known as "the most expensive means of production".
caviar is expensive because of its sales and packaging. The dealer of caviar will first package it so that only the rich can afford it. Then every year, the world's richest people will be invited to taste it by special plane, and professional caviar tasters will be arranged on the spot. Teach everyone how to eat caviar with fancy movements.
according to a rich man, "caviar is not as delicious as expected, but it only has a slight taste of sea salt and a foul smell of sea fish", but this taste has been recognized by most people. Maybe what they eat is not so delicious food, but the feeling of being recognized as the richest person in the world by others. Only those who really understand caviar are truly rich.
3. Haxue champagne.
Champagne Charles Heidsieck is located in Reims, a French champagne producing area, and was founded by Mr. Charles Haid Heidsieck in 1851. In 211, Haxue Champagne was acquired by French luxury goods group EPI (Society Europe de Partitions Industriales).
Hasselblad champagne is the most expensive drink in human history. In 218, the auction price of a bottle of Haxue Champagne has already reached 2.24 million US dollars. Lafite in 1982 instantly became inferior in front of it.
why can a bottle of wine get such an expensive price? It turns out that there are about 2 bottles of champagne like this. In 1916, a merchant ship full of Hasselblad champagne set out from Switzerland for Asia to drink for European colonists in Asia. At that time, Haxue champagne was already a very expensive wine, which could only be provided to governors everywhere. The governor-general usually drinks this kind of champagne for guests in order to show the strength of the motherland when entertaining influential people from all over the world. Unfortunately, however, the merchant ship was killed on the way, and the merchant ship sank at the bottom of the sea together with these champagne. Due to the limited salvage conditions at that time, these champagne have been sleeping at the bottom of the sea.
Fortunately, Haxue Champagne is well sealed, and the temperature of the seabed in the sunken area is just the best storage temperature of Haxue Champagne. In 1998, Haxue Champagne was salvaged, and the Haxue Champagne, which had been sleeping for 82 years, was rediscovered. When the sommelier opened the bottle cap, the quality and taste of Haxue Champagne were as good as ever, and it was not affected by decades. Unfortunately, although this wine is so expensive, no one has shared the taste and taste of this wine so far, and we still don't know what the taste of this wine is. Would you like to spend $2.24 million on a bottle of this champagne?
4. The first banquet in the world with a value of 68 million yuan.
In the Xinjiang Museum, there is a hall with a table of "the most expensive banquet in the world", which consists of 1,88 dishes and is worth 68 million yuan! Banquets can also be exhibited? Won't it break? It turns out that these dishes are carved from stone, including cold, hot, meat, vegetarian, soup, clay pot, dried fruits, fresh vegetables, etc., which highlights the gourmet characteristics of Xinjiang. There are 56 sets of tableware, representing 56 ethnic groups in China, and the expert's estimate is 68 million yuan. Only this banquet is not for eating, but as a work of art, showing the profoundness of China cuisine and China cooking.
The world of rich people is really beyond ordinary people's understanding. Most people think that the most expensive food in the world must be the most delicious, but this is not the case. Rich people choose these foods not to bring the experience of taste buds, but for a symbol of wealth, just to show off "once eaten", "affordable" and how much a bite (cup) costs. The diet of the rich is not as beautiful as we thought, and most of the time it is just for others to see. In order to integrate into that circle, they have to endure their unhappiness and eat all kinds of wonderful food, just to show their wealth and luxury, and also to show the world how prosperous the enterprise or country they represent is. In order to win more business opportunities and cooperation.
