Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
How much would you be willing to pay for dessert? Five dollars? Ten dollars? How about $14,500? The Fortress Sri Lanka, a luxury resort in Galle has created the The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence, a dessert that costs nearly as much as my parents' first house. Of course, the edible ingredients are not the reason this dish is so spendy. The dessert consists of a yummy sounding concoction of gold leaf Italian cassata, mango and pomegranate compote and sabayon, with a handmade chocolate fisherman. The reason it is so expensive is that it has an 80-carat aquamarine stone resting on the chocolate fisherman. According to the hotel, no one has ordered this menu item yet, but I'm sure that there's someone out there who will be, just to say that they ate the most expensive dessert in the world.
