For Those With Too Much Money...
...you can eat GOLD. Thanks to Scotwise for this little bit about "Buddha Broth" - $263/bowl Seems this soup contains
shark's fin, abalone, Japanese mushrooms, sea cucumber, dried scallops, chicken, ham, pork, ginseng and a sprinkling of gold leafAll of that is commonly available save the gold leaf. Gold closed at about $420/oz on Friday -- so that means either they are putting about a third of an ounce of gold in a bowl of this soup, or the profit margin on this stuff is outrageous. I'm betting on the latter. If it is the former, I'd be watching the toilet and doing some recycling....
