I don't know about you, but after a long day spending money I like to finish up on a little bit of a sweet, and Serendipity 3 in NYC has just the thing with its "Frrrozen Haute Chocolate" dessert. Made with 12 kinds of imported chocolate, five grams of 24 carat gold fleck mixed into a slushy-type consistency, and topped off with lots of whipped cream and a la Madeline au Truffe imported French cherry, the tempting morsel is finished off with even more gold leaf. (You just can't ingest too much 24 carat gold.)The Frrozen Haute Chocolate is served in a goblet surrounded with a crown made, of course, of gold. And diamonds. If that is not enough, the spoon is gold, too. At only $25,000 per serving, that's really a bargain, when you consider all the precious metals and blood jewels involved.The ancient Romans, no slouches themselves when it came to debauchery, used to ingest gold leaf.It caused them to go mad. And then, there was that fall of the Empire business.I think some of these folks might already be there.
