When someone tells you they have expensive taste, they're usually referring to clothes or cars or something. But I appreciate the person who's using that phrase literally — especially if they can actually name expensive foods.
Beyond expensive stuff like really high-end steaks or caviar or champagne, there's the stuff that makes the stuff. In other words: spices. And no, we're not talking about that stuff you can only find on Arrakis that makes you psychic. We're talking about those delectable flavors that can be sprinkled into our favorite dishes.
Sometimes they make the dish, and sometimes they destroy your taste buds — but the great equalizer is how much they cost. What is the most expensive spice in the world?

Correct Answer: Saffron
The answer is: Saffron. No, the answer isn’t Posh or any of the other Spice Girls, but Saffron. How much could a spice cost? Well, if you want just a single pound of this red flaky stuff, call your bank because you’ll be pulling out around $2,336 for it. This must be some magic spice to cost so much, right? Well…no. A single flower only gives a total of 7 mg once it's dried, meaning it takes about 40 hours and 70,000 flowers to make a single pound. Source
