Most Expensive Thanksgiving Meal Costs $181,000, What Does it Get You?

Thanksgiving is a great time to take inventory of your life, what's good about it, who your loved ones are and how thankful you are for the blessings you have. If you are going to spend $181,000 on a Thanksgiving meal, you may be missing the point of the holiday but who am I to say? Maybe this is you, taking inventory of the many dollars you have and deciding you need to light some of those dollars ablaze.

There is a restaurant in New York that does offer a $181,000 Thanksgiving meal. The restaurant is called the Old Homestead Steakhouse and they pretty impressed with themselves. So, what's included in the meal that costs as much as a house? According to Yahoo Finance, you get the following:

• Two free-range, $145-per-pound gold-painted turkeys
• $1,200-per-pound Spanish bacon
• $300 per-pound imported white cheddar cheese from the U.K
• $3,650 bottle of Louis XIII cognac
• $250 per-dozen Japanese strawberries
• $125-per-loaf imported U.K. bread
• $1,600-an-ounce caviar
• $91 per-ounce imported Korean seasoning salt
• 23-year-old special reserve Pappy Van Winkle bourbon that costs $3,800 per bottle
• $850 per-pound European Pule cheese
• $150 per-ounce French Echire butter
• Imported black truffles which cost more than $1,000 per ounce

I don't hate on people for becoming successful, rich and enjoying their money but this is a far cry from that. This is about wasting money because you can and when you do it on food, most of which will be wasted, it makes you a terrible person. Yuck. I'd like to hit whoever buys this in the face with a rake.
