Classic Luxury Foods?
In continuation to the classic food topic I posted, I'm also keen on finding out what kind of luxury food do you regard as classic.
(I'm not sure if I used the word luxury correctly, I mean the expensive stuffs that we don't usually eat day to day, only once in a while.)
I drool at the thought of scallops! :P

Lobster
Jumbo shrimp

Cippoline onions (they're $5+/lb vs. $.59/lb. for regular onions) but necessary roasted and glazed to accompany that tenderloin, or on a kebab for the grill
Maytag Blue Cheese yumm
And well lots of different kinds of cheese; I always buy Parm Reg. but I rarely splurge on other expensive cheeses. (In fact I tear off the price and price/lb. so my husband doesn't know just how much I spent on that wedge of____.)

Salmon roe. I love everything about it, the larger eggs, their richness, and saltiness, the beautiful way they burst when you bite down on them.
Fresh Sea Scallops, their sweet smell is a siren song to me.
Lamb Chops.

champagne (high quality champagne)
truffles

and i think more recently (at least on this side of the world) tea has become quite a luxury. there's been a lot of marketing on premium high quality tea. now that may be true luxury or just marketing.
