May 18 (UPI) -- A Japanese ice cream company assembled some of the world's rarest ingredients to create an ice cream flavor that costs $6,696 per serving.
Guinness World Records announced Japanese brand Cellato earned the record for the world's most expensive ice cream with its new flavor, dubbed Byakuya.
The pricey treat's ingredients include a rare white truffle grown in Alba, Italy, that costs about $6,905 per pound. It also includes Parmigiano Reggiano and sake lees.
Cellato developed the flavor with Tadayoshi Yamada, the head chef at Osaka restaurant RiVi. The company said it sought to combine European and Japanese flavors into something unique.
"It took us over 1.5 years to develop, with a lot of trials and errors to get the taste right. Achieving a Guinness World Records title made the effort all worth it," a Cellato representative told Guinness World Records.
It costs even more if it’s eaten by a civet cat and run through its digestive system.
Fixed it for you 😁
How many Pentagon hammers went into that recipe?
Since I have no idea what most of the ingredients are, I’ll pass.
My kid has brought over Grey Poupon and Ranch flavors of ice cream. Thoroughly disgusting and I’m the kind of guy who will eat anything. (my wife and I are headed out west in a few days and I told her I hope we find a restaurant that serves Rocky Mountain Oysters)
On the other hand, Blue Bell just released Dr. Pepper flavored Ice Cream. That intrigues me.
But Chocolate Chips are okay?...............😜
As a life long Dr.Pepper drinker I will find out!.....................
Dark chocolate is always okay.
Trivia:
Unaware of the American soft drink, the Beatles ‘Sgt. Pepper’ album was initially named ‘Dr. Pepper’ until the Capitol Records company told them they might get sued if they used that title.........................
🤢............................
Ghirardelli’s?
A good domestic substitute................
How much has Pelosi bought?
Instead of Bidens new trillion $$$ coin, just put a ton of that ice cream in storage at the federal reserve.
Man, I thought Cold Stone was expensive.
“include a rare white truffle grown in Alba, Italy, that costs about $6,905 per pound”
Chocolate is like $2.00 a pound. I find it hard to believe that anything is 3500 times more delicious than chocolate...
Prepaid by the American taxpayer.
Try Durian ice cream or forever remain ignorant.
My two favorite Haagen Dazs flavors, White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, and Vanilla Swiss Almond.
Well, the story mentions fungus, stinky cheese, and sludge from a sake vat. Sounds yummy.
