The Best Curry in the World
What is the Best Curry in the World ?
Well guess what, I know ! It does look fabulous but sadly greatness comes at a price - it’s also the most expensive curry as well !
I’ve always loved Indian food, although my brother would, quite rightly, probably say I’ve never actually tasted Indian food but, you know what I mean . . .
Anyhoo, back to the menu this dish is called The Samundari Khazana (translation: Seafood Treasure) and amongst some of the ingredients are: a whole lobster, turbot, crab, truffle quails’ eggs, caviar, sea snails and edible gold !
If you think it sounds good then wait till you see it
The World’s Most Expensive Curry
Me: Looks awesome - I’ll take one.
Waiter: Certainly Sir - that’s £2,000
Yes folks, 2 grand per person 
I was interested to note that the restaurant that has put the dish together is one I have actually eaten in, The Bombay Brasserie in London. World renowned according to the papers - bloody good according to me 
I doubt I’ll be shelling out (geddit) £2k on a ruby, if I was going to chuck 2 large about I’d probably buy a wife or a pair of John Lobb shoes
Talking of all things foodie, you’ll remember nearly half a year ago when I suggested that Gordon Ramsay may go bust after I became really suspicious when he was fined £1,500 for not submitting accounts. Anyway, this week he’s finally admitted that he was a gnat’s away from going down - he was even going to sell his own house to pay £7 million in unpaid tax !
You know where to come for the inside scoop.
If you can be bothered let me know whether I should buy the curry, the shoes or a wife !
Spicily Yours

Rod,
You should buy the shoes,
they will last a lot longer than the other two

Rod,
Dear God, I’m glad this is a publicity stunt. I think your money’s safe on those shoes, but if it’s boots your after then stick with Bulgaria.

Rod,
Remember the most expensive beef burger in the world or the most expensive sandwich in the world? I wonder how many of them they actually sell?

FF,
you’re the voice of reason !
If I bought the curry it would, quite literally, be £2k down the pan
That leaves the shoes and the wife. I’d best get the shoes before a wife as the missus would never let me spend that kind of money on a pair of Scooby’s !

LB,
book me Table 5 and I’ll pay the same price as the reporter did
I could perhaps be mistaken for a lobster myself at the moment !
Can you get me another Synergy btw
Cheers

TG,
thanks for the comment and welcome to the site.
as you rightly say sa it’s all about the publicity - It’s an outstnding piece of work and I take my hat off to them.
The dish stands them at well over £1k in ingredients - they gave it away but get advertising the likes of which money can’t buy.

If money was no object, go for the curry. You may never get another chance to taste the splendid flavours of it. The shoes you can always get a pair, the wife, come on RC a little bit of reality please!!

Jordan,
I’ve paid a lot of money for meals a few times in the past and I have t osay it was worth it simply for the reason you say.
I’ve forgotten all the mediocre meals I’ve paid for but not for example eating at The Ivy of The Savoy - so whilst an extravagance, worth it.
I thought if I bought a wife then Distance Sellling Regulations would give me a 41 day cooling off period so I could always:
1: Send her back if she was a disappointment
2: Get out of it if being married cut into my free time
Best
