New Delhi:
Every year 16th of October is marked as World Food Day to honor the date of the founding of the FAO, 1945. And while such organizations of the UN are on a mission to defeat hunger, these insanely expensive dishes are on a mission to defeat ‘money’ itself.
Ever encountered a situation where you have to cross-check every item on the menu against its price because of the exorbitant sum? In that case, you can give these food items A Pass because they are very likely to make your wallet curl up in the shell and disappear. From a meal of over 1.5 lakh for two to 1.5 lakh for 30ml of cognac, these most expensive foods are only for those whose pot is overflowing of gold coins:
