The Fortress hotel in Galle, Sri Lanka, is charging $14,500 a serving of the world's most expensive pudding, which is called "The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence".
(The pudding (at that price I should probably call it a dessert) is made up of a gold-leaf Italian cassata flavoured with Irish cream, served with a mango and pomegranate compote and champagne sabayon, and decorated with a chocolate model of a fisherman clinging to a stilt (hence the name). The inspiration comes from the resort’s logo of the ‘stilt fisherman’ an age old local fishing practice. Beneath the fisherman the diner will find an 80 carat aquamarine stone. As far as I know though, no one has actually ordered one.)
