Sometimes, you just want to say 'to hell with it' and blow a load of money on a great meal and a cracking cocktail. And sometimes that meal is a £1,500 burger. Or a $3.5M bottle of tequila. Yep, you read that right.
Fancy seeing how the other half lives? We've trawled all the corners of the Internet to bring you a roundup of weird and wonderful food and drink that's decadent, opulent and costs more than the earth itself. This, friends, is some of the most expensive food in the world. Disclaimer: we can't say we'd recommend buying it...
The Glamburger
£1,500
You might remember seeing the Glamburger, but let us refresh your memory: created by London restaurant Honky Tonk in partnership with Groupon, the burger cost £1,500 and included Wagyu beef, black truffle brie, Himalayan salt, lobster, saffron, Beluga caviar and (of course) gold leaf.
Salvatore's Legacy
£5,500
Salvatore Calabrese is a legend in the mixology world, and he staked his claim as one of the most high-profile bartenders in the world when he sold the most expensive cocktail ever in 2012 at his bar at London's Playboy Club. The cocktail, named Salvatore's Legacy, features ingredients from his prized, rare and salvaged collection of spirits, including circa 1860 Dubb Orange Curaçao, Clos de Griffier Vieux Cognac and more.

Armand de Brignac Midas
$100,000
Yep, you read that right – $100,000. Although we'll forgive champagne maison Armand de Brignac slightly, as the bottle carries 100 litres of champagne and is covered in gold. Still a hefty price to pay for a bottle of plonk, though.
Zillion Dollar Frittata
$1,000
New York restaurant Norma's Zillion Dollar Frittata actually only costs $1,000 – $650's worth of Beluga caviar is piled atop a frittata made with prime lobster, eggs and chives. Don't worry, though – a pared-down version is available for £100 (which is still a bit steep for an omelette from our perspective).
The Macallan M Imperiale 6-litre Lalique decanter
$628,000
How do you know a brand's high-end whisky is expensive? When it breaks the Guinness World Records' price for a whisky sold at auction – twice. The Macallan's M Imperiale – six litres of top-end Scotch, in a beautiful decanter designed by luxury brand Lalique – was sold to a private collector in Hong Kong.
VeryFirstTo World's Most Extravagant Chocolate Easter Bunny
£33,000
Luxury website VeryFirstTo is known for expensive swag, but this takes the biscuit. Or the chocolate, as the case may be – in March 2015 it offered the World's Most Extravagant Easter Bunny (that's the actual title). Hand-carved by former chef décor of Harrods Martin Chiffers, it weighs 5kg, contains 548,000 calories (yep, you read that right), and – if that weren't opulent enough – contains two solitaire diamonds as its eyes.
La Ley del Diamante tequila
$3,500,000
We know tequila is gentrifying, but this is really pushing the boat out. The $3.5m bottle of Hacienda la Capilla tequila, called La Ley del Diamante (the Law of the Diamond), the bottle contains 4,000 35-carat diamonds. Just don't shot them by mistake.
