I though there were some mushrooms that were even more expensive than truffels - like $3000-5000 for like 2 small ones - remember hearing it on Iron Checf Japanese - dont remember excactly what they were.

I think it's got to be this wine. Beats the heroin hands down for cost at $250,000 a bottle.

WHat about that champagne found in a really old ass sunken boat that thru the cool ocean temps has made it the best champagne ever. I saw it on tlc i think.
