$9,500 marmalade
I've never liked marmalade. I've always attributed it to my Americanness. And even though I loved Paddington, I couldn't make myself like marmalade.
But, I see now the reason is the quality of my marmalade. If it cost $145 to cover one slice of bread, I'm sure I'd like it.
The Fine Cut Seville Orange Marmalade with Whisky, Champagne and Gold mixes the finest Seville fruit with vintage Dalmore 62 whisky from Whyte & Mackay (valued at £32,000 per bottle), topped off with a splash of Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 1996 vintage champagne and garnished with flakes of 24-carat gold leaf.
The resulting spread, encased in a custom-made crystal jar valued at £1,100, would cost £76 to cover a single slice of toast.

That's great.

I don't like marmalade. Also, what is the fascination with eating things with gold flake? does it pass through? I could get into it for the idea of saying something like, "yeah buddy, well at least I shit gold."
Unfortunately, I can't think of how that would come up in a conversation/argument. I'll work on it though.
