The weekly weird
Milkshake with edible gold!
A CHEF said he has created the most extravagant milkshake in the UK — with each serving contains edible real gold.
The indulgent ‘Mayor’s Gold’ drink is drizzled with gold-infused syrup and topped off with 22-carat gold flakes — with the creators boasting that it might be a bit rich but the taste is on the money.
Luckman Ali, who sells the creations said each one contains around two teaspoons full of gold flakes and also the concoction of crushed Whisper gold chocolate bar, white chocolate Lion bars, Hershey’s cookies and cream chocolates added to vanilla ice-cream and the plush toppings is an idea that has struck gold.
He said: “I think this is the most expensive milkshake in the world.” The milkshake is named Mayor’s Gold, after Oldham Mayor, councillor Ateeque Ur-Rehman. It costs Luckman £28 for just 100mg of the gold flakes and he says he uses around 25mg per serving, which is around two teaspoons.
And despite the 400-calorie delicacy being packed with gourmet gold, it will only set you back £10.
