For Robin Leech-style extravagance in the kitchen, two items set the bar. The spice saffron has built a reputation for being more expensive than gold -- fetching up to $2,700 per pound in recent years.
And then there's caviar. A recent U.N. ban on the international trade of Beluga caviar from the Black Sea and Caspian Sea is expected to cause a sea change on the prices for existing stock. What say you to $2,400 for a one-pound tin of black fish eggs? Be sure to wash it down with a $750 bottle of Krug Clos du Mesnil.
Some food concoctions can be very pricey -- $1.65 million fruitcake, anyone? But for food by the pound, it looks like fish eggs and flower stems take the cake.

The most gorgeous and the most expensive cake that I have ever seen in my life is the Diamond fruit Cake, costing $1.65 million.
This cake, which is scheduled to be displayed on Friday, is created by a Tokyo pastry chef. Six months of incredible thinking for that incredible design and one month to materialise it, this cake is studded with 223 small diamonds and the rest of the cake is edible. This cake is up for sale on Christmas.
It is not only the most expensive cake in the world, I bet it is also the most expensive food in the world. Apart from the 223 diamonds, I guess what the ingredients might be, whatever it is it must be as rich and luscious as the diamonds.
This is a masterpiece in Food Art and it will be exhibited in the seventeen diamond-related designs in an exhibit called “Diamonds: Nature’s Miracle.” The chef is wise enough, not to disclose the ingredients, but I am still wondering about a lot many things. A couple of them are, the implementation of the design, the procurement of diamonds and the ingredients of the cake. The biggest question mark is over the Mr.or Miss so and so, whose single Christmas purchase, cannot match the expenses of a one month lavish Christmas Shopping.

A good Lobster in the range of $32 to $75 depends on the size. Its worth every morsel if done correctly.

The most expensive food can be found in Japan. They serve you with tiny quantity with a very very big check.
