Diamond-covered chocolate egg unveiled at London shop

I'll take 2 of those.
I saw this week on TV a new sandwich in London selling for 65 pounds each (US $115). It's made with truffe sauce and Japanese Beef. The special Japanese beef is the most expensive in the world.
I forgot the name, but it's not the same stuff you get when you order a 400 yen beef bowl. It could be the beer drinking beef.  _________________

it's japan's celebrated Kobe Beef.....only 3000-4000 cattle a year are designated for Kobe beef, i believe....they feed it , massage it, and give it beer to relax the cow's muscles for a more luxurious, tender flavor.

 Yup.
Got an average price on MSNBC.
------------
At $100 for a 16-ounce porterhouse steak, Wagyu beef might be a hard sell.
...
The ne plus ultra of beef is commonly known as Kobe, but Kobe is merely the prefecture in Japan where insanely expensive meat, sometimes $500 a pound for the real thing, happens to be produced. These are the well-known cows whose diet is reputedly augmented with sake and beer, and regular massages to soften their meat and enhance the marbling of their fat. ...

that would be nice but as you're implying perhaps it's a bit too luxurious for a cooking show that feeds several ppl

you're right though, qilver if you sign up and register for a free account the max upload is 100MB, if you don't sign up for squat then it's only 50MB

even a 100mb is being stingy...but i guess now they want to limit and monitor things more on what's being uploaded.

Until someone comes up with bigger transfer on another site. Just because a few people were abusing it. |
