The little island of Sri Lanka seems to be an unlikely place to be home to the world's most expensive dessert. Sri Lankans who are used to leading simple and modest lifestyles, do not place much importance on such matters which they consider trivial. However, unlikely as it seems, this tiny country has done exactly that - given birth to what is thought to be the world's most expensive dessert.
