12 Shocking Foods and Drinks Made With Real Gold pt.1

Now the suppliers of certain foods and drinks have decided to put our money where our mouths are. Each element of a cafe menu, be it a birthday cake, a cup of coffee or sushi is laced with real, edible gold, literally allowing the patron to feel richer with each bite.

True, some items on the menu list could be the preserve of those in the high-income bracket or someone wanting to indulge in once in a lifetime madness. The concept that food could be infused, flaked or encrusted with real gold may seem bizarre at first, but it sells. It’s a unique way of selling food. Apart from being a culinary experience for buyers it’s an idea the effect of which is more powerful than the effect on our taste buds. Here are 12 of the food and beverage items made with real gold.
1. Grande Cuvee 24-Karat


There are a number of manufacturers of wine and champagne on the market that have benefited from the trend of using gold to enhance the experience of drinking their product. Grande Cuvée, a sparkling wine in California is one of the leaders in the field. It manufactures a bottle of wine that has an infusion of gold leaves and 24 karats gold flakes. Each pouring of the sparkling wine dazzles with shimmering gold and makes its way to your plate. And while you could be left wondering as to how expensive this gold-laced product could be, you would be surprised to learn that the award-winning Big 24 Karat Cuvée is an affordable $31 per bottle. That makes this wine not just a delicacy, but an item that is an extremely economical party proposition.

2. Gold Cappuccino
America runs on Dunkin ‘Donuts, but $25 cappuccinos made with gold could well run in Abu Dhabi, the second-most populous city in the UAE. In a city that makes no compromises on luxury, one could find cappuccino adorned with gold flakes in place of the usual cinnamon. Imagine starting the day with a bright cappuccino laced with gold under the bright city sun or wind up your evening with a gold-flaked cappuccino amid glittering and brightly lit skyscrapers? Getting your caffeine fix at $25 a fix may seem outrageous, but the novelty of sipping gold could well make up for that.

3. 24-Karat Imitation Caviar


At $200 a bottle, this imitation 24 Karat Caviar can be yours. Made with lemon, white wine, sugar and gold leaf this ostensibly decorative type of 24 Karat Caviar imitation is very much edible. Over and above being a fancy party addition, it is used by several sushi restaurants as higher decorative pieces for well-heeled customers. It must be stressed at this point, that when you are serving three ounces of gold in your caviar costing as much as $200 at your party, make sure your guest list is tight and exclusive.

4. Gold Cake


Just like the golden caviar, the combination of cake and gold make culinary sense, too. Price-wise the caviar pales in comparison; this gold and diamond-encrusted cake that can cost you over $ 20,000. Yes and for a slice of it’s $ 2,500 a piece. A man bought this cake, which also contains a real flower finishing, on impulse to celebrate his 60th birthday in 2011. The cake made with gold leaf and encrusted with diamonds of two karats created history by becoming the most expensive dessert ever served. Quite obviously it was amazing to taste.

5. 666 Douche Burger


The 666 Burger truck of New York City prepared the most expensive burger for $666. It is stuffed with Kobe beef, Gruyere cheese, barbecue sauce, Himalayan rock salt, caviar, foie gras, lobster, and truffles. The highlight of the preparation is the gold leaf used to wrap the Kobe burger, that lends a shimmer to the beef. Priced at the obvious rate of $666, the Douche Burger, as it is also known, is apparently for those who are loaded, in fact, comes wrapped in three $ 100 bills.While the burger has been prepared by 666 Burger with a view to generating publicity for its $6.66 regular hamburgers, these savvy food truck operators have actually sold a few of the Douche Burgers.

6. Gold-Infused Chocolate Bacon

Bacon and chocolates taste awesome. But putting the two together with gold, what would it taste like? Bizarre?. Cashing in on the rising trend of chocolate bacon, Balcony a New YThis fork -based confectionery have come out with a bacon wrapped chocolate, sprinkled with gold flakes karats. This item consists of a golden bacon wrapped in a layer of chocolate. At $40 a chocolate strip, one can only hope that its taste matches up to its cost, as Balcony claims it should.

Inside her desert oasis! Lady Gaga enjoys freebie stay at $12 million mansion while headlining Coachella

She was the headliner for both weekends of Coachella this year. And while in the desert for the annual musical festival, Lady Gaga stayed at a $12 million Mediterranean mansion, courtesy of Airbnb. The 31-year-old made herself at home in the sprawling 9,500 square foot home, with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. The normally $10,000-a night Airbnb listing is located in Rancho Mirage, which is just a 25 minute drive from the festival in Indio, California. Lady Gaga replaced Beyonce as the headliner for Coachella; Beyonce pulled out of the festival shortly after announcing that she's pregnant with twins. On Monday, the artist thanked Airbnb for the home as she posed next to a large fireplace in a pink hoodie; she wrote: 'Thank you @airbnb for my desert home. A wonderful gift!' While prepping for her Coachella gig, the Grammy award winning songstress rested at the mega estate, which has 360 degree mountain views and a resort style pool. The kitchen had st...

Why Detroit has the largest satanist temple chapter in the US

The "largest public satanic ceremony in history" took place last Saturday in Detroit, a city that has the largest and oldest chapter of a national Satanist organization.  The group unveiled a nearly 9-foot tall bronze statue of a goat-headed Baphomet in a private ceremony attended by 600 ticket holders, Lucien Graves, co-founder of the national Satanic Temple organization in Boston. The Satanic Temple in Detroit has more than 200 registered members. "They are so active and well-organized," Graves said. "There's probably been another wave of interest since this event."  The Detroit chapter is the first of the national organization, Graves said. He credits the Detroit chapter's founder Jex Blackmore with the growth of the chapter since it was established there in August 2014. "It's more or less because of her. She was just a very confident person who started working with us," Graves said further. The pair...
