现在,蛋白杏仁饼干还是比较常见的,不就是两块糕饼,中间夹上奶油一类的东西,这种点心在法国很受欢迎,好吃又便宜。但是法国的糕饼大师PierreHerme却制作出了一个新品种的蛋白杏仁饼,价格贵得出奇,标价7,414美元,因此很多人望而却步。Herme解释说,他的这种蛋白杏仁饼有多种口味,包括甜醋、红葡萄酒、花生酱等等,你能想到的,几乎都有,因此才开出了如此的高价。

这款特制布朗尼是由新泽西州亚特兰大城推出的。这可不是一款普通的布朗尼蛋糕。黑巧克力外包裹着意大利榛果,再配以一勺冰淇淋。这还不是最特别的,最特别的是顾客可以品尝到来自葡萄牙诺瓦园的葡萄酒,这种葡萄酒非常昂贵而且稀有。虽然,布朗尼蛋糕似乎并不奢华,但配上了这名酒,就价值不菲了。
