8.Fugu – $100
Our next costly Japanese food is Fugu.
Yes, the poisonous Fugu fish is a popular Japanese dish, if cooked perfectly, of course. In order for a chef to be allowed to prepare and serve the fish, he must go through a rigorous training, because if you don’t cook it just as it should be, the consequences are deadly.
When cooked, only a tiny amount of the poison is actually left in the fish, giving it a numbing and tingling effect. A full course fugu meal starts at $100 per person.
So get the cooking wrong, and you are pretty much dead. Want to give it a try?
Have a look at the weird shape of #7!
