Since my final project is about chocolate dessert, I am posting some fun information about chocolate.
It is one of the most expensive chocolate in the world--Chocopologie by Knipschildt. It contains a black truffle and 70% Valrhona cacao. How much is it? $2600 per pound. (The cup is also made by gold)
Compared to the Chocopologie, the chocolate, which called Africa Continent is much more extravagent. It was made by a japanese chocolate store in order to celebrate the 2006 Valentine's day. The small white shinning balls are not sugar or candies. They are 2006 diamonds! How much is it? -- 436 million dollars!
Wow that is so crazy. The gold is almost understandable, but the diamonds really take it to the next level of ridiculousness. At least they look really nice. :) Here is a link to an episode of The Colbert Report where he eats some expensive foods, including Chocopologie: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/227616/may-13-2009/colbert-platinum----1-000-dishes.
