The most expensive dumplings in the world can be tasted at the Golden Gates restaurant in the Bronx, New York. Russian emigrants are frequent visitors to this restaurant. The peculiarity of these dumplings is that in addition to tender veal, pork and salmon, they contain the glands of the torch fish (Curtius Flame Fish), which lives at great depths.

2. Walnut.
The most expensive nut in the world is the macadamia. Today there are only two types of this nut. The rarity of the product is indicated by the fact that the macadamia tree, although it bears fruit for up to 100 years, still requires special care. Only 40 tons of this nut are produced per year, so the price for 1 kilogram reaches 30 dollars.

3. Saffron.
Saffron is considered the most expensive spice. In fact, it represents the stamens of a plant of the crocus family. This spice is collected by hand and then dried. It takes about half a million stamens to produce a kilogram of saffron. It is for this reason that the price per kilogram of saffron reaches almost 6 thousand dollars.

4. White truffle.
There is no exact price for this gastronomic delight, since each individual mushroom is sold at auction. The maximum cost of the mushroom was more than 30 thousand euros.

5. Dark chocolate.
Chocopologie by Knipschildt is the most expensive chocolate in the world. 453 grams of chocolate, which originated in America, will cost a sweet tooth $2,600.

6. Potatoes.
It would seem how potatoes could get on the list of the most expensive dishes. However, the most expensive potato variety, “La Bonnotte”, grows on the island of Nurmuatier, the cost of which is approximately 500 euros per kg. It is collected by hand, and its peculiarity is its delicate taste.

7. Beef.
Marbled beef Japanese Wagiu cows are the most expensive meat in the world. These animals are cared for in a special way. Every day they are given beer and sake, and they feed exclusively on the best grass. For a 200-gram fillet of this animal you will have to pay from 100 to 1000 dollars.

13. Coffee.
The most expensive coffee in the world “Kopi Luwak” is produced by a small predator called Luwak.
This animal loves to feast on ripe fruits of the coffee tree, choosing only the best beans. He eats a lot of coffee, so he can’t digest everything. Undigested grains in the animal's intestines are exposed to its enzymes, which, according to connoisseurs of this coffee, gives it unique taste and aroma. A kilogram of coffee from the intestines of Luwak will cost 300-400 dollars.

14. Tea.
Dahongpao is the name of the most expensive tea in the world. Translated, it means “Big Red Robe.” This very tea is obtained from the leaves of only six bushes that grow near the Tianxin Monastery. These bushes are already 350 years old. About 500 grams of tea are collected from them annually, and the price per kilogram of the finished product will cost 685 thousand dollars.

In cooking, the rule “The more expensive, the better” does not always work. For example, someone might find a sandwich from a nondescript diner much more appetizing than a filet mignon cooked . On the other hand, a dish that costs several hundred conventional units willy-nilly evokes admiration, if only for the reason that you don’t want to regret the money spent on it. Let's look at ten works of culinary art that can seriously affect a gourmet's budget - the most expensive dishes in the world.

Tenth place – Golden Opulence Sundae

• Cost: $1000

• Cost: $1000
• Where they cook it: Norma’s, Le Parker Meridien, New York, USA

Is there a dish that is easier to prepare and cheaper than an omelette? Even a child can beat and fry a couple of eggs. But the chefs from the New York restaurant Norma’s proved that even an omelet can be made into a masterpiece. True, to prepare it you will need not the most common products: instead of flour, milk and herbs, cream, whole lobster meat, stellate sturgeon caviar and chives are used here. A representative of the hotel's press service states that the cost of the dish is practically no different from the price stated on the menu. The Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata is one way to impress diners rather than make money from them.

Second place – Wagyu Meat Pie

• Cost: ₤8000
• Where it's cooked: Fence Gate Inn, Lancashire, Britain

Wagyu beef is a very expensive type of meat. Its main suppliers to the world market are Australia and Japan.

A pie made from such beef is also an expensive pleasure. Especially if it also contains matsutake mushrooms and truffles, and the meat itself is marinated in Chateau Mouton Rothschild wine from the 1982 vintage.
