Worth the TV Time

Last night, I watched the Food Network's show "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." This episode featured salty foods. And the salty-caramelly brownies from Baked, a shop in Brooklyn, N.Y., looked amazing.

Alton Brown discussed a down-home restaurant in Georgia where there are no menus; the staff simply bring you the meal for that day. Country ham seems to be the centerpiece.

I can tell that I'm really going to enjoy this show.

High-Priced Delicacies

This recent article and slideshow from the Huffington Post examines the "priciest foods ever." No. 1 on this list of priciest foods is the white truffle. According to HuffPost's Eve Solomon:

More expensive than any other food, let alone any other fungus, the white truffle stands at the top of the expensive food chain. These gems are so expensive because of their rarity and because truffle hunters rely on luck and pigs to find them. White truffles can cost up to $2,700 per pound.
