As an Indian Saffron is actually a frequently used spice in india. A bottle is approx Rs.4000- Rs.6000 or 70$-to 85$. Saffron is amazing on desserts. Its price can be low in northern india because some states produce saffron there.
@@vgodfn6419 yup we do grow saffron in our northern states of Jammu and kashmir and Himachal pradesh basically in the himalayan region and there are different varities of saffron coming in range of prices so we do use them it's basically used in sweets and indian smoothies or milkshakes kind of things
I had a summer job at a cinema when I was a teenager (about 13 years ago) and I was absolutely SHOCKED at the price mark-up on the food/beverages. I used to feel slightly embarrassed selling them.
@@JJ-zr1wf I’m Indian never saw anyone eat biryani with saffron it in my entire life I have went to many luxury hotels and stuff too but never seen someone but saffron in it
I visited my dad in LA after he was diagnosed with cancer. Couldn't do much, let alone eat without pain. During those couple of weeks, we once went to a restaurant that hade the most exquisite presentation I never though I'd experience. Just, expensive (not rich) high quality food that I had to hold my tears back just because I never though I would experience that in my life. I think it was in downtown LA, don't remember the restaurant's name, but I'd like to go back one day.
I grew up thinking we were poor cause we couldn't afford nice things, but we were never out of saffron and my iranian mom would even travel all the way back to Iran just to buy it directly from there. When I got to know the price I started appreciating it waaaaay more.
I feel like street food that cost like 3 dollars that actually fills hunger and is good in taste is actually better than some random ass small piece of random mixture with edible gold that cost like 2 dollars but they say it costs like 7k lmfao
@@ciom9065 dude, what? I may have worded it wrongly, but my mom wouldn't travel with the sole purpose of bringing back spices. She would travel back once every 10 years or so to visit the family she left behind, consequently bringing back the spices we couldn't find in my country. Calling us "colonizers" is just ??? do you even know where I'm from?? Have you ever heard of the concept of an imigrant ??? honestly, wtf??
My grandfather once gave me a glass of wine from a bottle valued at around NZ$1500. There was only 150 of these bottles made and we were opening bottle number 62
@@beastmaster415 I'm certainly no wine connoisseur so unfortunately the whole experience was lost to me. I was also about 16 at the time too so my memory is hazy. I do remember the 40 year old port he gave me too. He bought it in 1970 and opened it on he 70th birthday in 2010
Saw some chefs on RU-vid cook a giant A5 wagyu beef brisket. I can't even imagine how much that hunk of meat cost. I'm surprised a lot of wines and champagnes didn't make the list.
I once got overcharged for a 6 pack of mountain dew for about $60.00 because my account didn't have money at time of purchase. Best damn 6 pack of my life
a few years ago, we found a large clump of matsutake mushrooms growing next to my parent's house in New England. The aroma was amazing and how we knew what they were. We harvested them and sold them to restaurants in Boston for $14,000! my favorite food is getting more and more difficult to find and pricier too - uni or sea urchin roe. when it is at it's prime in winter, it is intoxicatingly delicious!
What is funny is even if you pay that money for these things, when they come out of you they look and smell exactly the same as the ordinary food the rest of us eat ;-)
I had wagu at The Mirage in Vegas but I made and ate a pound of cannabutter made with .5 pound of Sour Diesel X OG. That should be on the list somewhere
I regularly eat saffron in the form of a lovely Spanish rice salad recipe worth the price. Ham, capsicum, rice, saffron, olive oil, and spring onions. Yum. I feel like a Billionaire everytime we BBQ.
My friends:Go and order a pizza!!! Me:OK fine 'sigh' then order pizza. 20 minutes later. Me: Take out my golden editable powder and golden up the pizza. My friends:Look at me and said;I'm an idiot for eating golden pizza. Ha😅🤣🤣🤣😂☠️
I think the closest to the most expensive main food I've ever ordered was a medium rare steak from a Sizzler in Japan back in 2012, costing what would've amounted to a little over $70, but that includes the meal it came with plus the all you can eat buffet. The most expensive single food I can think of every buying was a wagyu beef Angus burger from Hungry Jacks. I haven't exactly had many opportunities to splurg money on Super expensive foods, especially with how things have been in the world the last 15 months
Have tried: wagyu (not in Kobe but in Tokyo), edible gold, beluga, saffron. Want to try: Iberico ham, white truffle, donkey cheese, densuke watermelon, matsutake mushroom
The expensive coffee one comes up Me: ooh now that’s something I would def try if I could “It’s been through a digestive system of a cat” Me: Never mind 😐
As a nurse, I’ve never EATEN Manuka honey, but it is great for healing wounds. When I worked in home health, plenty of wound clinics would order dressing with Manuka honey. It certainly smelled like honey, but I never tasted it.
From this list, I’ve had wagyu, white truffle, vanilla beans, ibérico ham, Saffron, and the balsamic vinegar, caviar, and I’ve had English cheddar that was £2,000 for a wheel. I went to culinary school, and worked at high end restaurants lol
and out of that list is any actually worth trying for the price. Im not talking about the experience or trying something once but the taste. Cause im genuinely curious
@@joshuafraser3627 to me, vanilla, wagyu, the cheddar, vinegar, and ham are worth it. The vanilla bean changes the simplest of things like vanilla ice cream, it gives it a deeper vanilla taste and even has subtle notes of bourbon. Vanilla extract is an insult to real vanilla. And because the bean is so concentrated you don’t need much. You can buy a bean at Walmart for $7. Soak the bean in vodka and let it sit and now you have vanilla extract. You can even top It off as you use it, or you can use the bean, and steep it into your recipe. The wagyu is hands down the most tender and flavorful meat I’ve had. Making it a burger is an insult. The cheddar wheel was so good! It changed the grilled cheese completely. The cheese was aged beautifully, and even had cheese crystals (which are my favorite lol), and you could taste the land in which the cow was raised.The cheese was legitimate as it was made in the village of Cheddar in England, and you have to be chosen by the maker of the cheese to use it! The ibérico ham was worth it as well, the meat is so tender because of its immaculate marbling. The fat just melts in your mouth. And lastly the vinegar is unlike anything in the market. We reserved it in school, for dishes that were truly special. Everything affects how the balsamic comes out, the grapes, the barrels used, and the attention to detail pays off. You can taste each individual step and that’s worth it.
FYI they do sell legit wagyu beef at Walmarts...granted it’s not cheap but it’s worth the price...don’t skip on the ground bison either!!! Sooo good, WM has really upped their meat game!! 👊
You can have the same experience of "edible gold" by buying a ton of sheets of them on Amazon for $15 and putting it on a burger. That is literally all it is. The fact people pay over 1,000 times the retail price of multiple squares for ONE square in restaurants shows how sad people are with budgeting.
I just read about Manuka honey yesterday. It was in a natural remedies portion of a readers digest. Of course it would have to be super expensive! I have had a type of wagyu before though. It was fantastic.
