Snooping Around... The world's most expensive Ice-cream

Here is the world's most expensive ice cream, served with a wonderful jewel.
A bistro restaurant in New York, with the collaboration of a well-known jewellery,  has created something truly prestigious. The homemade ice-cream is vanilla-flavored while the sorbet is made using the most prestigious French champagne in the world, the Dom Pérignon. Also chocolate truffles, macarons and soft cookie brownie pieces, the ever-present whipped cream under a waterfall of chocolate sauce laced with vodka. The final garnish made of edible gold leaves. These are all the main ingredients of the Pasang Mauboussin Sundae.
However, what makes this big ice cream cup extraordinarily tasty, which the Restaurant Bagatelle in New York serves for the modest sum of $1000, is the jewel that accompanies the dessert: a gorgeous black and white gold steel ring signed Mauboussin. The artisan jewellery Mauboussin has designed the jewel exclusively for the restaurant, inspired by his previous collection.


But the Malboussin Mega Sundae is not the first ice cream with an exorbitant price: in 2004, The Serendipity 3 restaurant in New York celebrated its 50th anniversary by offering the Golden Opulence Sundae, that has earned the nomination in the Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive ice cream cup ever made.
Among the ingredients an edible gold leaf, hot chocolate by Amedei, also regarded as the most expensive in the world, a sweet-caviar garnish infused in a passion fruit sauce, served in a Baccarat Crystal Cup with a  18K gold spoon.
 
The Serendipity 3 is also famous for its Frozen Haute Chocolate, a 25.000 dollar hot chocolate. Strangely, during their presentation, neither of the two desserts were sold.



GOSH I WONDER WHY?!?!

Random Facts About...Jellyfish, The Elves of the Ocean

First I have to tell you...these are my favourite animals ever! And as you saw in my previous article about Poisonous Animals (check it out if you haven't yet ) are also very dangerous!! Let's find out other random facts about these amazing creatures!! 1. Jellyfish are found in every ocean of the world. They are even found in some freshwater lakes and ponds. 2. Jellyfish reproduce both asexually and sexually. They are usually male or female, though hermaphroditic species have also been found. 3. Even a dead jellyfish can sting. 4. Jellyfish are invertebrates, which means they are animals without a skeleton. Approximately 95% of their body is water. 5. Jellyfish have lived in the waters of the world for more than 650 million years, long before the dinosaurs, making them the oldest multi-organ animal. 6. Jellyfish move in essentially two ways. They take water in their bell and then squirt it out behind them, which creates a jet of water that moves them forward. The

Urban Legends - Krampus, The Christmas Shadow

Surely Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Life looks a little bit better with snow, lights and songs all over the decorated streets. And of course there’s Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas) bringing joy and presents to all the good girls and boys. But there’s some parts of Europe, like Germany, Austria, and other parts of the Alps region, where naughty children needs to be very careful during the holidays because of a dark, mischievous and grumpy figure hidden in the shadows. This evil spirit is the Krampus, Saint Nicholas counterpart. This creature is an anthropomorphic beast with fangs, fur, and horns. Dark and ancient spirit, Krampus announces his presence with loud bells and terrorizes the kids who have misbehaved during the year. In contrast with Santa giving the good ones gifts and joy, Krampus gives the bad ones whip beatings and nightmares. And if you have been particularly naughty, Krampus will drop you in a sack and whisk you away to his lair in

Urban Legends - The Town That’s Been Burning for Over Half a Century

Image
Surfing on the Internet in search of new mysteries to talk about I found out something very strange. I’ve already talked about the Ringing Rocks County Park . And again today’s weirdness is located in Pennsylvania. What if I tell you there exists a city which has been burning for almost 50 years. And is still burning now.  I was surprised when I first heard about Centralia , a borough (a self-governing municipal entity that is usually smaller than a city) and a near-ghost town in Columbia County. Its population has radically dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 8 in 2014 , and so is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania. But If you look at it, seems a very pleasurable city. So why everybody ran away ? Founded in 1862, Centralia came out because of the booming coal mining industry. Under the town lays a particular type of coal, called Anthracite coal (also known as Black Diamond, a much cooler name), once in high demand for heating homes. This underground mine
