10 Most Lavish, Gold Infused Foods
Taste the most lavish, gold infused foods!
In Asian and Middle Eastern countries, gold was used more for medicinal purposes.
Nowadays, gold is used in cuisine more often and on all kinds of things, such asbacon, macarons, burgers and even on cigars (although, you can’t literally eat cigars, but they still are meant to be tasted).
One things is clear. Gold makes a $20 dish look more luxurious and sparkly.
Let’s get straight to business and see which are the 10 most lavish, gold infused foods!
1023-Karat Gold Chocolate Bacon – Price: $39.99/per strip
We begin our top 10 list with something a bit odd, yet something you’ll definitely want to taste.
Combining bacon and chocolate is already a weird test. Add gold and you get something really out of the ordinary. Apparently, Baconery seems to have a different opinion.
This lavish food consists of Nueske cherrywood-smoked bacon, Guittard semi-sweet dark chocolate, and 23-karat edible gold flakes.
These strips take breakfast to a whole new level.
9Bloomsbury’s Golden Phoenix Cupcake – Price: $1.000
We continue our top list with a dessert that you’re already familiar with.
Also known as The Golden Phoenix, this cupcake features an amount of 23 carats of edible gold sheets, Rachel’s organic butter, Doves organic flour from UK, Premium Amedei Porcelena cocoa from Italy, gold Ugandan vanilla beans.
The founder of Bloomsbury, Shafeena Yusuff Ali, had the support of her business partner, Vinay Lall.
On an interview, they declared: ‘We have seen people attempt the most expensive cupcakes before, however those cupcakes are not edible as they are encrusted with diamonds and other components.’
8Gold Bagel – Price: $1.000
In 2007, Frank Tujague, a New York City chef working at The Westin New York Hotel, turned a regular bagel into a luxurious, gold infused one.
And we bet it is the priciest bagel New York has ever seen.
Valued at $1.000, the gold bagel was topped with Alba white truffle cream cheese, goji-berry infused Riesling jelly and,of course, golden leaves.
But there’s a tricky part. The bagel is only served during breakfast hours, and don’t you think it’s that easy to grab one.
It must be ordered 24 hours in advance.
7Douche Burger – Price: $666
Made at 666 Burger, New York, this hamburger is wrapped in 6 sheets of gold leaf, which automatically makes it expensive.
The $666 burger is made of Kobe beef, foie gras, topped with Gruyere, champagne, lobster, caviar, truffles, and, you’ll never believe it, Kopi Luwak coffee bean-infused BBQ sauce.
You remember Kopi Luwak, right? It was once the world’s world’s most expensive coffee.
The funny part is that it’s all wrapped up in 3 $100 greenpacks. The owner of 666 Burger shop explains why the burger is called ‘douche’.
‘When you are done with it you’ll have three greasy hundred dollar bills and have to decide what to do with them. That’s why it is called the Douche Burger.‘, he declared.
624-Karat Gold Torpedo Cigar – Price: $1.000 (5 pack)
Technically you can’t eat these, but they still can be tasted and savoured.
These are the only non-food in this top list, but they are filled with gold, so they deserve a place on our top 10 list of the most lavish, gold infused foods.
The DM 24K Golden Torpedo is an exquisite cigar from Daniel Marshall, wrapped in 240-karat Italian gold leaves.
For the price of $1.000, you might want to keep those golden ashes once you have finished.
