I'll spare everybody the "rich" pun... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070924/ap_on_fe_st/expensive_dessert COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - This dessert may be a little too rich for you, but you're probably not rich enough for it. A Sri Lankan resort is charging $14,500 for what it calls the world's most expensive dessert, a fruit infused confection complete with a chocolate sculpture and a gigantic gemstone. "The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence" was created to give visitors at The Fortress resort in the coastal city of Galle a one-of-a-kind experience, said the hotel's public relations manager, Shalini Perera. The dessert is a gold leaf Italian cassata flavored with Irish cream, served with a mango and pomegranate compote and a champagne sabayon enlighten. The dessert is decorated with a chocolate carving of a fisherman clinging to a stilt, an age old local fishing practice, and an 80 carat aquamarine stone. The dessert has to be specially ordered, Perera said. Though the hotel has gotten calls about it from as far away as Japan, she said, no one has yet forked over the money to try it.
yeah its the 10,000 dollar martini. i forgot what hotel it was but its one of the older hotels in NY. you have to call in well before you actually go to the restaurant. pick out the stone with the jeweler and all. the one thing that is pretty nice is that they dont make a show for it, they know before hand who is ordering the drink and the buyer just orders a normal martini and they bring it to him/her. yeah but no f'n way i am paying that much for a drink or dessert
