美国纽约市一间餐厅推出堪称全球最名贵的意大利薄饼，采用6种鱼子酱及新鲜龙虾炮制，每个盛惠一千美元。这款超豪薄饼直径30厘米（12吋），可以切成8块，每块售价125美元。薄饼贵在选用6种珍贵鱼子酱及新鲜龙虾制作，再以法式酸奶油及细香葱作配料。 % l" c" e- {* E0 n$ j6 F s7 ]* ?
它是餐厅老板塞利马杰花了逾一年时间研制，至今已售出一个。由于预备材料需时，鱼子酱要在提早落订，因此顾客想吃的话，必须在一日前预订。这款薄饼究竟是否物有所值，实在见仁见智，但塞利马杰就对这款薄饼充满信心，认为吃得起的顾客一定会回头再光顾。但顾客如果还有余钱，可以光顾邻近一间餐厅，它推出了一款金箔雪糕新地，上铺23卡金叶，一客要1000美元。 ' I; I% S, \ C. S2 |% n6 L) J d! x; Y) v e1 p0 q, V
塞利马杰29年前由阿尔巴尼亚移居纽约市，在当地开了6家意大利薄饼餐厅。其中只有位于曼哈顿的Nino's Bellissima餐厅，才推出这款名贵意大利薄饼。他相信，这种豪华薄饼大有市场，因为它非常美味，顾客一定会再次光顾。7 w2 W `3 ^8 Q& U% b, K0 G
