How the other half lives (continued)...


And finally:

The Golden Bon Vivant pie, created by chefs at the Fence Gate Inn in Burnley, Lancashire, costs over £1,000 ($1,745) a slice and is currently the world's most expensive pie. It contains a 2.5 Kilo Wagyu Fillet of Beef valued at £500 ($873) and Matsutake mushrooms from China, selling for £250 ($435) a lb. These mushrooms are so rare they are harvested under guard. The recipe also includes two bottles of 1982 Chateau Mouton Rothschild red wine costing more than £4,000 (almost $7,000) and the pie is topped with edible gold leaf. The total cost of the pie - 8 slices - is £8,195 ($14,280) and is served with Louis Roederer Cristal Rose champagne, costing £345 ($600) a bottle.
