The truth behind the gold-plated dishes of the super rich world

The upper class has a hobby of eating in gold. But does gold inlaid on food work? Let's come to the story behind it.

What foods do you like the most? Chicken stew? Roasted duck? Pizza? Spaghetti? Donut cake? Hamburger? Now imagine that all these things are covered with a golden layer of iridescent yellow dust like pizza pieces below.

Gold-coated pizza - would you like to try it?

Yes! These are real foods, and are the luxury cuisine of the elite. While high quality products such as caviar caviar, ocean tuna, foie gras foie gras . partly lose their appeal, gold-coated dishes always have a special position for the rich. gender.

That is also the reason why high-class restaurants are always looking for ways to bring gold-plated dishes to the menu. As in New York in 2012, a restaurant launched a campaign called "Douche Burger" , selling a hamburger worth up to USD 666 (about VND 15 million at the current exchange rate). This burger includes Kobe beef stuffed with foie gras, Gruyere cheese, caviar eggs covered on top, wrapped in mushrooms and lobster, and finally 6 24k gold leaves.

It is not clear whether eating is good, but with the above ingredients, perhaps this cake is also worth the money for real rice. Douche Burger is also the most expensive burger in the world to date.

But in the end, what do people put in gold for food? Does gold have some effect, and when did gold become available to this food?

Can gold inlaid make food more delicious?

This is somewhat true, but only from a psychological perspective. According to a study from the University of Oxford (UK), the display and decoration of food has a certain impact on the taste and experience of our meals.

In particular, if the food is displayed in an artistic orientation, people will tend to enjoy the meal more fully.

A piece of cake worth up to 70 USD (more than 1.5 million) only thanks to the 24k gold leaf sprinkled above.

This also means that if gold is considered beautiful, it must be the experience of the eater that multiplies.

However, this effect also occurs even if gold is not needed, so it can be said that gold here does not play a lot of roles.

So what do people get gold for?

Need to confirm, high-class products like caviar, foie gras . are expensive because of their taste, effort and nutritional value.

Many people think that gold is also good for health and should be eaten. But not!Gold when eaten without any taste, nutritional value is almost zero. It was simply added because it was gold, and gold was a symbol of wealth and luxury.

The round bread is scrumptious.But with gold leaves, the value of the cake is up to 1,000 USD / unit - equivalent to more than 22 million VND.

The gold plating on food has been around since the Middle Ages in Europe, during the big parties of the elite. It is a social age that is deeply differentiated between rich and poor. Poor people go on poverty, just starving, nobody cares. And the rich, they have to find ways to show off their wealth first. And they choose to organize luxury parties, including three indispensable things: wine, women and gold-plated food.

So it can be said, gold inlaid on the food is only for the purpose of enjoying the wealth and not bringing about any other benefits. Even swallowing gold sometimes results in unwanted consequences.

Eating gold may not be good!

In essence, gold is a precious metal, almost unaffected by metamorphosis, so once it enters the body, it will safely come out while working in the toilet.

The cupcake of the super rich - $ 1,300 / unit (about 27-28 million).

But not so that we can eat arbitrarily. When entering the body, gold crystals are able to bind to proteins in the immune system.

This will cause two effects: make your immune system slightly stronger, but at the same time alter the structure of the protein. The immune system may then see these proteins as foreign invaders, causing allergies, causing the body to become irritated, irritable, even difficult to breathe.

You should consider before attempting to try a gold inlaid dish.

In addition, if eating gold is not pure, it is really harmful, because some of the salts of gold are extremely toxic , can cause death if accumulated in sufficient quantity.

So you should consider before you intend to try a gold inlaid dish. Because in addition to satisfying momentary pleasures, eating gold does not bring any benefit, it costs money again.
