Most expensive thing you regularly eat.

I found it a bit holier-than-thou.

We used to have it at Easter but three days later it seems to repeat on you.

Porterhouse or T-Bone steaks - and we don’t do them often. The only other expensive thing would be shrimp.

Trip, you’re right - taters ARE cheap. :smiley: Next time you grill, throw some asparagus on the grill too - skewer it and put some oil or teriyaki glaze on em and throw them on - YUMMMMMMM.

Smoked Salmon, at AUD $38/kg, is one of the pricier things I regularly eat. It’s so nice on a bagel (or soft white bread) with cream cheese, capers, lettuce, onion, black pepper… Dammit, now I’m hungry!

I was just looking at Woolworth’s online shopping and I think my answer is in confectionary. Simpson’s Eggs @ $2.14 are $107 a kilo, Kinder Surprise work out at $91 a kilo, even Tic Tacs are $70 a kilo.

I think you mean Good Friday.

Back in my fish eating days, I loved swordfish, which even twenty years ago was $5 a pound. Now I occassionally buy out of season fruit; things like strawberries for $5/pint.

Pussy. $5000 a night.

Yeah but even if she’s small that’s only $100 a kilo.

Umm, lessee -

Vanilla beans, I guess. And one technically only eats the big pinch of gummy seeds that you scrape from the inside of the pods. So at about $5 to $8 a pod, and let’s say about 1/2 gram of seeds, that works out to about . . . some godawful huge price. I suck at math.

But I do use the emptied pod by putting it in a container of sugar so that it flavors the sugar with vanilla, so I would have to calculate that in.

Venezulean Beaver.

I use vanilla beans and saffron regularly, real parma too, which can get quite spendy, but I think the most expensive thing I eat regularly is balsamic vinegar that goes for at least $20/125ml bottle - that’s $160/kg. Yet I don’t wince when I dip my bread in the stuff.

I don’t eat things with truffle oil that regularly, but if I did, it’d be more like triple that, I reckon.

Dragon Well (Long-Gin) green tea purchased at the plantation in Hangzhou, China. Paid $200/lb for the near best grade.

Good steak, ready-made sushi, and Grand Marnier liqor.

I doubt that the biggest pussy ever recorded was much over 25 pounds (about 12 kilos). Unless you count Big Pussy, but I don’t know who would want to eat that.

After vanilla beans, I’d have to say coffee. Mmmm, kona or blue mountain.

If we’re going to count things we drink too, then I have some single-malts that go for $150+/liter.

I get my saffron free, so that’s out. The current season’s whole black peppercorns would be pretty pricey, but I don’t pay for that, either.

Given that I generally throw out 80 percent of it, my fresh Basil and other herbs might be up there in the actual price per pound eaten, but they sell for no more than eight or ten a pound. (US $) Wish I could find someone to share it with. Parmesan is no more than $12.00 a lb, but there too, I always end up with a moldy butt end that I have to toss before I finish the chunk. (Single member households are tough to bargain shop for.)

Paté was always a delicacy I didn’t appreciate enough to buy, much less make. Same for Caviar, but I really don’t eat it myself. I used to keep a jar of good caviar, which was about 25 bucks for a two ounce portion. I haven’t done it much, lately. (This decade being lately.) Truffles are fungus, and I am allergic to mushrooms, and although I love mushrooms, I would not like paying truffle prices to puke violently afterwards.

I did pay $24.00 for a package of 12 freshly made chocolate candies that couldn’t have weighed more than a half ounce each. They were worth it.
