The most expensive brekkie in the world?


A few years back, I commented in this blog about luxury food and drink such as an ice cream that contained edible gold leaf - The Serendipity Golden Opulence Sundae.

So I was interested to recently learn about what could be the world's most expensive breakfast, launched to coincide with the opening in London's West End of Breakfast At Tiffany's, starring Anna Friel. The £22,000 meal includes a hand-decorated bejewelled croissant, covered in edible gold and diamonds, Bar le Duc hand-seeded redcurrant jam and a cup of Kopi Luwak coffee washed down with a Chambord and champagne cocktail, worth more than £20,000.
The Chambord is served from a bottle of the liqueur encrusted with gold, diamonds and pearls worth $2.4 million (around £1.5 million) and topped up with Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque champagne.

The breakfast is available on request from Chambord.

PS: no offence, but I'll always consider Audrey Hepburn the definitive Holly Golightly. Still, good luck to Anna...
