i hate to admit it, but Im the queen of justifying high priced purchases. I actually have it down to a formula, which I feel of as cost per day: I divide the price by the quantity of times Ill use it, and the answer, I like to tell myself, is the real price. Jeans for $200? Not so bad if Ill be wearing them a few times a week. But a pricey bottle of wine or steak, on the other hand? Even I have a tough time telling myself those are okay. So I was intrigued to discover that theres been a trend toward pricing food at ridiculously expensive prices. Thats right, while the rest of us are struggling to hold down our jobs and pay off our loans, men and women are creating and consuming thousand-dollar desserts. Searching for a distracting mirage in my financial desert, I decided to window shop for a few of the worlds most high priced foods.
