The dish itself is fairly simple. It’s a desert item that contains strawberries marinated in port wine sauce that are served over vanilla ice cream with whipped cream. So how can that be $3.95 million dollars? Well this special order also comes with a custom-made engagement ring that features a 7.09-carat pink diamond. It’s extremely absurd, and probably the most expensive dish in the entire world.
