And while we like it when food is inexpensive, sometimes you want to eat "something tasty", even if this tasty one leaves a hole in your wallet. And although you are unlikely to try the products presented on this list, let's still find out how much people are willing to spend to satisfy their stomach. So, the 10 most expensive foods in the world.

(Total 10 photos)

1. Matsutake mushrooms. The rarity of these mushrooms raises their price to $1,000 per pound. Matsutake or mattake is originally from Japan and grows in several Asian countries, but their numbers have been greatly reduced by insects that destroy the trees in the shade of which these mushrooms usually grow. Since there is no way to cultivate matsutake, there is a possibility that they may disappear from the face of the earth altogether. So, who wants a mushroom omelet? Expensive omelet…

2. The most expensive bagel. Although bagels are by no means healthy food, these buns are quite satisfying and tasty. And inexpensive. Although this is not the case for this bagel, because it is spread with cream cheese, “seasoned” with white truffles, golden leaf and goji berry jam. How about having one like this for breakfast? Yes? Well, then get ready to shell out $1,000 for it, because white truffles are ranked second on the list of the most expensive goods in the world in terms of price / weight.

3. Premium frittata. Ironically, this dish has been dubbed the "million dollar frittata," even though you'll only have to pay $1,000 to try this marvel of gastronomy. Per serving. That's because this frittata is a dish of lobster, eggs and stellate sturgeon caviar, which costs $65 per 30 grams. This frittata can rightfully be called one of the most expensive breakfasts in the world.

4. Wagyu beef steak. What makes this steak so expensive ($2,800 apiece) is that it's made from wagyu cows, the same cows that get drunk on beer and massaged to melt in their mouths. In addition to the absurdly high price, this steak is also incredibly fatty. So if a threat to your wallet doesn't stop you, maybe a threat to your own health can?

5. Samundari Khazana. This dish is called the most expensive curry in the world because it costs $3,200. It was prepared on the occasion of the reception at the premiere of Slumdog Millionaire in Mumbai. The chefs collected the most expensive ingredients they could find: white truffles, Devon crab, beluga caviar and sprinkled it all with edible gold. The result was a kind of gastronomic "too".

7. Watermelon Densuke. You have probably heard about the most expensive berries, but densuke watermelon will easily win this price race. This is a special type of black watermelon that only grows on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Why is it so rare and expensive? Yes, because only 65 watermelons are harvested for each crop. They are usually given away. Not a bad gift for $6,100, don't you think? In taste, they say, it is similar to ordinary watermelon, only with a slight difference in sweetness.

8. Yubari melons. If you thought dansuke was the most expensive fruit, think again because yubari melon costs $22,872 for two, making it one of the most expensive foods in the world. This expensive melon was auctioned off to a nautical-themed restaurant.10. White truffles. Truffles are the most expensive food in the world because they are very difficult to grow. This is what makes them a delicacy and the king of all mushrooms. The most expensive truffle was a $160,000 mushroom bought by a Hong Kong investor. He weighed 1.5 kilograms.
