World's greats...with food! (Duh.)

Here is the news:
The largest food ever(Not exactly,but you get the idea) :Love big burgers? Take a bite out of this: In July of 2011, Juicy's LLC set the world record for the largest hamburger ever - a whopping 777 pounds. Yep, lucky 7's all the way around. This Juicy's Outlaw Burger was served up at the Alameda County Fair in California. It featured, get this: 600 pounds of beef and a 110-pound bun. Yes, 110 pounds - a small person - for just the bun! And the fixings included 12 pounds of pickles, 30 pounds of lettuce and 20 pounds of onions (phew).


The smallest food ever(Once again,probably the smallest...good, you have the idea) : This burger meal ain't filling you up...but it's really cool.
The world's grossest food: (...)
Quite literally sour herring. It's fermented with care (!) for about a year. When the can starts to bulge, it's time to eat. Often eaten outdoors because of its awful stench and even then not much approved of by anyone within 1000 feet.  Said to taste like no.2's,barf and salt. Urgh!!!

The world's sweetest food:The sweetest known substance on earth is Stevia rebaudiana more commonly known as Stevia or simply sweet leaf. It is said that it is 300 times sweeter than sugar.
Mango is recognized as the sweetest fruit on earth. A traditional honey and sugar cake may come in a close second.

The world's most expensive food: Well,let's see,shall we...
A day spent indulging in the world's most expensive meals will set you back a whopping $95,065 - more than the average American household's annual income.
According to a new infographic on Finances Online, eating the priciest dishes would begin with a stop in New York City for a $1,000 frittata at Norma's Restaurant, made with potatoes, a pound of lobster and ten ounces of caviar.
Other items on the menu include sushi wrapped in 24 karat gold leaves and topped with pearls, truffle salad and 'bacon bling' - a sandwich served with black truffles, gold leaf, gold dust and saffron.

Jaw-dropping pricetags: Many of the prices and data were taken from Guinness World Records

Some of the foods have such a hefty pricetag because they are rare or difficult to source - like the Wagyu ribeye lunch at Craftsteak restaurant in New York City.
This expensive cut, which costs $2,800, comes from cows raised in Hyogo, Japan, which are fed beer and are regularly massaged to make their meat extra tender.

And Albarragena Jamon Iberico de Bellota, a ham that can be purchased at a London restaurant for an incredible $2,682, is made from pigs fed exclusively on acorns and roots. The pigs are then slaughtered and cured for three years before consumed by diners.

Indulgent: The soup and second course lunch dishes alone would set you back $5,235

Piece of history: Some of the foods are so pricy because they were auctioned off - like a piece of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's 1937 wedding cake, which was auctioned off in 1998 for $29,000

Other foods on the menu were so pricy because they were created for fundraising programs or auctions.
For example, part of the breakfast on the infographic is a first-harvest mango from Brisbane, Australia, which is listed at $4,200.
This refers to an October 2010 auction, which saw 12 mangoes being auctioned off for $50,000 in aid of the Brisbane market community.
Fit for a jewelry box: A lot of the dishes are outrageously decadent - like the gold leaf-wrapped sushi available at a restaurant in Manila. Each piece is served with three pearls on top

Splurge: The total cost of all the breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes adds up to an eye-watering $95,065

And one of the desserts on the menu is a piece of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's 1937 wedding cake, which was auctioned off at Sotheby's in New York for $29,000 in 1998.
The bill for all the breakfast items amounts to $5,200, and the total cost of the five-course lunch - including appetizer, first course, soup, second course and dessert - would be $63,670.
The decadent dinner would cost you $31,395, and the total cost of all the dishes adds up to an eye-watering $95,065.
