What's the most expensive food you buy?

[Phred]

I was wondering what is the most expensive food you buy. The most I pay is
$16.99 for a pound of lump crab meat from Costco. It's blue swimming crab
from Indonesia distributed by Philips Food. Great taste. I'm told that Sam's
Club also sells it.

"Lump crab"? Makes our mud crab sound positively delicious! Which it
is I hasten to add -- it's *still* my ambition to have "enough" of it
at one sitting. (One full, big mud crab has proved to be not quite
"enough". Two would probably come close. :-)

But to return to the topic: I once bought 100 g of smoked salmon for
about AUD7.50 (i.e. $75.00/kg). But I only did this as a political
experiment, to prove to myself that there was no GST on it. Thus
confirming my opinion that the (now defunct) Oz Hypocrat Party only
stuffed up the implementation of the GST here in Oz to ensure they
didn't have to pay that tax on their pre-dinner salmon snack on the
pool deck, with a nice Chardonnay to wash it down.

As for myself, I think a $30.00 bottle of red would go close to my
major extravagence. (But, of course, that's really a medicinal
necessity to reduce the chance of a heart attack and it should be on
the PBS. ;-)

Cheers, Phred.

Probably saffron. Hubby occasionally buys me rather posh tea as well, but I
don't think it beats the saffron.
