Most expensive Valentine\\\'s Day meal to cost £61,000

The world's priciest Valentine’s Day menu was unveiled on Tuesday, with the gala dinner costing 61,000 pound. Michelin starred chef Adam Simmonds came up with the eight-course menu for the most expensive romantic supper. It comes with almus white caviar worth £ 3,000, Natives South Sea oysters including pearls at a cost of £ 6,000, £ 2,000 worth of gold leaf and truffles costing £ 1,000. It also, controversially, features the severely endangered blue fin tuna fish, which wildlife campaigners claim are as close to extinction as the panda or white rhino. A number of the ingredients, including watermelon, are supposed to share similarities with Viagra. And these aphrodisiacs may come in handy when it comes to the extensive drinks menu, which come courtesy of Corney & Barrow. To wash the food down, there is a £ 17,000 bottle of La Romanee-Conti wine and a magnum of 1976 Salon Blanc de Blancs worth £ 3,000. In total, the wine bill alone costs a wallet-busting £ 30,700.
