Measuring just six inches high, the world’s most expensive pineapple was grown in Cornwall in a glasshouse heated by horse manure.
But while the tiny fruit – cultivated in the pineapple pit at the Lost Gardens of Heligan – may be half the size of the average supermarket pineapple, it carries a much larger than average estimated price tag of £10,000, which covers labour costs, equipment – and urine-soaked hay.

Here’s another weird one for the world’s most expensive food list – the world’s most expensive cereal.
You won’t find this cereal in your regular breakfast cereal box, or on the supermarket shelves – and that’s because there is only one unique “Great Illinois Corn Flake.”

Cheese has been a dairy favourite among many since ancient times – its origins even pre-dating recorded history. It comes in several forms, flavours and textures and can feature in anything from a pizza to a platter accompanying a bottle of fine wine.
But there’s one type of cheese which you’re not very likely to come by very often – the world’s most expensive cheese.

Here’s an odd one for the world’s most expensive foods list:
Back in 2005, a couple named Mike and Liz started a blog detailing their experience after they had allegedly found a french fry at McDonalds that featured a near-perfect profile of U.S. sixteenth President Abraham Lincoln, as seen on the penny coin.

Spandau Ballet lead singer Tony Hadley helped deliver a gold leaf-covered special edition of a Wispa Gold bar, priced at a gobsmacking £961.48, to London store Selfridges on August 3, 2009.
Hadley was helping to promote the relaunch of the once popular Cadbury’s treat, which went back on sale at the more reasonable price of 55p in September 2009, six years after it was originally discontinued. The chocolate bar went back into production following a huge campaign on Facebook, where more than 22,000 people joined the group “Bring back Cadbury’s Wispa Gold”.
Hadley was accompanied by a full security team to ensure the luxury chocolate bar was kept under lock and key.
The bar is covered in edible gold leaf and sheathed in a gold leaf wrapper, and its price is said to be the precise value of its weight in gold.
All proceeds from its sale went to the UK Lowe Syndrome Trust, of which Hadley is patron.
