“Gold covered food is not new — [it was used by] elites in the past, especially for confections. Europeans have used it since the Renaissance, and various Asian cultures have long used gold to accent their eats. But eating costly foods has always been a way for the wealthy to show off. Although, unlike actual gold, the extravagant snacks of the past may have been prized according to availability and seasonality.”
