While on the subject of expensive foods....


The ultimate in luxury foods....?

Back in 2005 the Associated Press reported about a diamond-studded Christmas cake that went on display in Japan, as one of 17 diamond-related designs in an exhibit called "Diamonds: Nature's Miracle."

The Tokyo pastry chef who created the work of art said it took six months to develop the design and one month to actually make the cake, which was edible.

The cake went up for sale at the price of $1.65 million and included 223 small diamonds which had to be removed before it could be consumed.
