EUROPE
NEWS OCTOBER 2008:
| Cognac
and Caviar: PlayUKlottery.com brings you the best in fine dining

it’s gourmet dining in Greece or fusion fare in Finland, serious foodies
and refined diners alike know that when it comes to cuisine, only the best
will do. With up to £42 million up for grabs each week at PlayUKlottery.com,
you too have the chance to sample some of the world’s most decadent and
extravagant foodstuffs.
Top
of the gastronomic heap is the aptly named ‘golden dust’, saffron, sold
at an astronomical £550 for just 100g. The ultimate in food extravagance,
it takes 125 000 crocus flowers to create just one kilogram of this elusive
spice, making it, ounce for ounce, more valuable than gold! |
 |
| For
the seafood aficionado, Beluga caviar is the obvious choice, with harvested
roe fetching up to £2500 per kilogram. Meanwhile, more daring patrons
could try the Fugu fish, a genus known not only for its notorious price
(it retails at around £50 per fish) but also for the lethal poison that
could potentially kill a hungry diner.
Those
with a more discerning palate could always try the Tuber Magnatum, a white
truffle often referred to as the ‘white diamond’, which grows exclusively
in the Piedmont area of Italy. Found only on the menus of the globe’s most
exclusive restaurants and ranking as one of the world’s most luxurious
foodstuffs, a pound of white truffles should set you back about £750.
For
those looking to wash their gastronomic feast down with an expensive tipple,
a bottle of Krug Clos du Mesnil (£375) or Bollinger Blanc de Noir (£290)
are favourites with serious champagne lovers. Acknowledged as the very
best bubbly available worldwide, both these variants are incredibly rare
and not freely available for purchase.
