Fortress Aquamarine - Dessert für 14.500 US-Dollar

abgelegt im Archiv Speisen und Genuss am 13.08.07

Lecker Nachtisch zu einem fünfstelligen Betrag - das liefert ein Restaurant in Galle/Sri Lanka mit "The Fortress aquamarine" über das Forbestraveler schreibt:


Available at the hotel's Wine3 restaurant, it looks more like an haute tableau than dessert, consisting of cassata in a "vase" made entirely of sugar. Next to it is an upright sliver of chocolate shaped to look like a fisherman, on which an 80-carat aquamarine-mined on native soil-is delicately balanced. Cost: $14,500.


Wer nun erwartet, diesen Dessert auf der Speisekarte zu finden, wird leider enttäuscht, denn:


the dessert, conceived just two months ago, is only available upon request. "The restaurant doesn't have a drawer full of aquamarines in the kitchen," said spokeswoman Suzanne Snart. So far there have been no takers.


Ob man Aquamarin nun wirklich essen kann, wage ich allerdings zu bezweifeln ...
