arrive Greg tantalizes Pete does the ambiance lift the dish does it bring in emotion does it bring a memory and that is the reason that we put the ambience with the dishes so you will see some are figurative some are literal some have humor behind them each dish has a different story to tell finally time for course number one a stuffed giant oyster an animated seascape comes with it have you opened an oyster before no take your night from your bowl yep take it from the back bang it a few times all right take your the tip of your knife and just slowly put that in the bowl just cut across

Mastiffs are without a doubt noble creatures but for the Chinese they are also an unusual status symbol did you know that the lotus flower is the supplier of one of the most exclusive and rare fabrics in the world lotus silk from this material an Italian luxury brand makes a very special jacket costing 7,000 euros we are traveling to Italy and are meeting Pierluigi Loro Piana he is always on the lookout for the most valuable fabrics in the world and so discovered the lotus fibers the finest fiber in the world looks like linen it looks like rose silk but doesn't read wrinkled as linen or rosette very comfortable to be to be dressed to be made aware and particularly the breathability is quite interesting the properties of this fabric are unique it cools the wearer when it's hot it is completely wrinkle free and is as soft as velvet this material is so rare that only very few people know how to weave this material this fabric is probably 1,500 years old is something that they made for forever so the idea was to cooperate with them in order to sell this fabric around the world although is a very limited quantity therefore we are traveling to meet the people who produce the valuable Lotus silk in Burma or as it is known today Myanmar in the small town of yung-shiu the people live like 100 years ago the Inca people live at the banks of Lake Inlet around their houses right by the water they grow lotuses in water fields we're company silk weaver TT all while she harvest the Lotus stems [Music] oh poor park here a full park here Saturday Nova Macedo be Jane Calle in pucon yay you are my pond today about upon today chandi think IG that's how they're sued or lay down where they where each other but I was wrong tomorrow to the production of the Lotus silk is an old and very difficult craft the women at lake inle are masters in this craft and are second to none in the world first weaver tto has to remove the fibers from the lotus stem in order to do so she takes four stems at once lacerates them with a knife again and again and then twists them into opposing directions this brings out the extremely thin fibers the difficult thing about this they mustn't tear tto carefully twists them into a thread would you have thought that it is only possible to process the Lotus plant where it was harvested the Weaver explains why ser para poner la llamada k at Vijayawada lead luchador Rilakkuma ja ja ja ja ja lyddie Akuma hese charming little yellow Toyama at support the part 3 on the Quesada Yahoo jabbing are up in the town of Miami for a single jacket made from lotus fabric the women turned the fibers of twenty six thousand stems into threads this amount makes about two and a half meters of cloth but until then there are still many hours of work ahead of them now the weaving can begin boss John Show is responsible for this she has developed a sophisticated technique with which she actually measures the yarn for the fabric only she may do this job as this way she can be sure that none of the expensive material is left over all wasted her measuring has proved itself over the course of many years oh yeah Louie attend Booty RA own MA Louis a chain tollable that'll do what I call handle agenda Shirley shorter cool and my ladder would you have thought that it takes a whole day to prepare the loon for the upcoming work slowly centimeter by centimeter the valuable fabric is now made before it is now about to go on its long journey around the world boss put on show checks its quality appalling and I'm Lena Channel age attack on my little like I do she'll talking to I wanna I met over a pool they up fully I check in with your enemy rare Josephine October while holding to and then they lost a lot of foot hit the army alley hello everyone at the other end of the world the Taylor's at the Italian luxury label now begin their work and make one of the highest quality jackets in the world out of the Lotus silk available for purchase at seven thousand euros [Music] it is the most expensive salt on earth the lesser salt but you know how much the salt is actually worth it sells for up to 90 euros per kilo on this island in the baltic sea about 30 kilometers from the danish mainland the most expensive salt in the world is produced so we're traveling to leh so it is only possible to reach the island with its 180 inhabitants via ferry whenever I go across I always bring some days result and they are expecting me to bring them one kilo of lace hose white gold costs up to 90 euros as much as no other salt in the world pool christensen produces it we meet him at home for breakfast and here we see it for the first time the valuable lace out it's very soft beautiful and soft and you can use it with your finger so both under food and under table so we love the taste the texture it's very smooth and it's easy to granulate and that's very goofy but why is this salt around 200 times more expensive than salt in the supermarket pool will now show us for his valuable salt he pumped salty groundwater out of special wells and this is how the lay so salt comes to exist the groundwater in a part of the island contains a whopping 12 percent of sodium chloride especially during the winter the see often floods the flat marshlands and seeps through the first few ground layers at about two meters depth a layer of play stops the salty water hear it then slowly begins to evaporate and what is left is highly concentrated saltwater pool and his team then collect the so called salt brine from the naturally occurring worlds [Music] a flavorful brine is then turned into the most expensive salt in the world in the salt works would you have thought that all the production steps here are done by hand this is the reason for the white lay so salt at up to 90 euros per kilo being so expensive and there is another reason for the price being so high producing it takes a very long time in the big casseroles the salty water is gently heated up for about 24 hours on a big wood fire the best is 80 degrees that's what we call to simmer because if you go to the boiling point some of the bitter salts will start crystallizing with the good salt bitter salt such as magnesium sulfate would spoil everything at 80 degrees only sodium chloride and minerals crystallise after a whole day on the boil it is finally time the most expensive salt in the world can be skimmed from the surface every day we look at the salt and watch the crystals the size of the crystals you can see huge crystals you can see the flakes of the salt and it's very crunchy now the salt flakes need to dry off in the wicker baskets about 70 tons of salt are produced by the small factory each year not too large an amount of course it will have its price [Music] spread out on wooden boards the valuable salt now dries out completely you can see it will be like this which if you don't do this so and then next day the salt will be totally dry we are curious and of course now what to taste the most expensive salt in the world that's a flake of salt and it's also crunchy when it's dried not too much the salt has a very intensive taste would you have thought that in order to season something a couple of precious flakes are enough our salt has dried out by now in this machine the last unwanted particles like the limestone are now filtered out the coke will burn into the pain or with a fire and then you got this and then this this will follow the salt up here and then we take it out here and separate it here thanks to salty groundwater and elaborate manual labor this salt doesn't contain any bitters or chemical additives and at about 90 euros per kilo the white gold of lei so is the most expensive in the world [Music] it is the most expensive spice in the world the chera pita chili 1 kilo costs over 20,000 euros would you have thought that it is even more expensive than saffron originally it comes from Peru but the chilli grower Eric's deck of its is the only person to cultivate it outside South America to be more specific in the little Hungarian play after about 10 months the chilies are ready to be harvested each single Berry has to be picked by hand is that why they are so expensive God speak to his sister Steele Strauss left with a chilly vidya snowcat rock net ultimate own in-kind saft from drachma inherent muster steel trough lab and a leaf roof to deity entity had knowledge still missing tenacity at garden the Moosman ganske novice maybe through the 4f cinders of Canaan file hyper Fe roof Torontonian after two hours of manual labor we only have one dish full do you know how much it will be worth in the end first week is a Charlotte hundred gram fatigue syndrome photo certain Albert syndrome Synchron but still that is about 200 euros a proud son but the price mainly derives from Eric being the first person to cultivate the chera pita outside of Peru on a large scale the fact that he grows the chera pita at all is more of a coincidence Eric liked the color and he bought the seeds for about 4 euros he had no idea what they would be worth later we have very few salmon from the MP comments in any fruits into 13 treinen I'll just pick on him eating a hard one harvest for decent client beer in here yeah Hutton Sophia prancin for her from Boston fear plants and have eaten makes this yeah so Philip Frandsen key markets the speeds thing comes is full in house the phone album in order to grow them especially one thing is necessary warmth the small Hungarian plane is by deal for this as the temperatures here are consistently warm throughout the year this have fucsia Chile's Avenue here disease inna named work merciful it Vincent Cianci kilometer on McPherson kilometers earthly earthly here nerdly kitchen inna chili con is Nev arm can examine papadum exact chili vaccine done women grants enact four hits in each novel come Eric's father already grew chillies here 50 years ago altogether eric has 650 different varieties of chilies from 80 countries and every year new ones are added just like the chera peter feed by far most expensive and also the one with the most extraordinary taste a duly casting named person in the multi piece TR Easter chef won't get a few Anika minute lammle Mia thank you [Music] the acid smokers the other mission Zeus yeah so I like to its without this half of to me asked moment this is kind of chilly let's design card your shelf it is dark use this beaker diesel doesn't me feel good would you have thought that on a heat scale from one to ten the China Peter reaches up to a nine this makes it one of the hottest Chile's in the world the heat is mainly at the top near the stem the so called if and it is quite something this command if a team is young me accessing it the chili man from his Vicky a tricky about accompt yes the hominid mrs. French Beit Shean de to him but the chilies are not sold fresh in the next step they are dried only now do they develop their special aroma that makes them so valuable all that eric has to do for this is to spread them out on a table this is common would issue instant insurance t name in so stinking up your fine scenes as all fifteen the remaining berries are then dried for six to ten weeks in this time the chili loses 7/8 of its weight but gains a multiple in taste and then it is ready the most expensive chili in the world [Music] you
