Some things may be cheap and common in a place, but an exotic delicacy in others, so the market adjusts.

Often it's "ethnic" foods that are expensive, but there's an interesting inverse with chicken feet.

In the west, you can get Chicken feet for just about free, I think they're like $2 per kg at my supermarket. In China though, they're a delicacy and quite expensive.
