Expensive foods from around the world

This cheese is brie-lliant!

Cheese fans brace yourselves, because the world record for the most expensive cheese has been broken.

That's right, a 2.2kg wheel of cheese sold for a whopping €30,000 (£25,000) at auction - but what type of cheese is it we hear you ask?

Well, feast your eyes on the majestic Cabrales blue, a cheese only made in the Asturias area in northern Spain - which is nicknamed Pais de Quesos, meaning Land of Cheeses.

Cabrales cheese is made from whole, raw cows' milk, or from mixtures of two or three types - cows', ewes' and goats' milk and stored in a mountain cave at a height of about 1,400 metres, and a temperature of 7°C, to mature for a couple of months.

The expensive cheese was made by Guillermo Pendás at his family's Los Puertos factory, and was bought by restaurant owner Iván Suárez.

Read on to discover some other eye-wateringly expensive food items.

A costly cup of coffee

A cup of coffee typically costs about £3 in a shop, but a cafe in San Francisco in the US was selling one for about £60 in 2019

An adult buying a coffee when they're out and about might expect to pay about £3, but at a café in California in the US, it could be a very different story.

That's because one coffee on the menu cost a whopping $75 in 2019- that was about £60 at that time for a single cup of coffee.

Klatch café in San Francisco made the special coffee using a coffee bean known as Elida Geisha Natural.

The bean is sold for about $803 per pound, giving it the record for the most expensive coffee in the world. It also won the best of Panama competition, which is a bit like the Oscars for coffee.

A gold-dusted burger

Would you pay £680 for this burger?

Next on the list is no ordinary burger - this is a Golden Giant Burger.

The huge gold-dusted feast was created in honour of Crown Prince Naruhito who became Japan's new emperor on 1 May 2019.

At 15cm tall, 25cm wide and weighing about 3kg, the burger is being served at a hotel restaurant in Tokyo.

It also has a pretty heft price tag of ¥100,000, which is about £680.

Mmmmm doughnut

This doughnut *almost* looks too special to eat, don't you think?

This doughnut is dusted with gold leaf and gold dust

The sweet treat, which was sold in the US in 2016, was made with 24-carat gold leaf and gold dust.

A dozen cost a whopping $1,000 which was about £765 at the time. That worked out at about £63 per doughnut.

A costly cupcake

From one pricey pud to another...

In 2013, this was the world's most expensive cupcake

This sweet treat went on display in London 2013 as the world's most expensive cupcake and was worth £768.85.

We hope it tasted as good as it looked.

A pr-ice-y ice cream

Who doesn't like ice cream? Well, you might need to save for quite a while to afford this.

The Bear Extraordinaire was on sale in the US for $1,500 - that's about £1,144.

It was made with some rare ingredients including black truffles and gold leaf but the best bit was the crystal bear it was served inside.

A special sarnie

Now, this might not look like much...

The ingredients used in this sandwich make it very expensive

...but when it was created back in 2006, it was thought to be the most expensive sandwich on the planet.

It cost £85.50 because of the pricey ingredients used, including Wagyu beef, black truffle mayonnaise and fresh lobe foie gras (preserved duck's liver).
