The Most Expensive Sandwich

Most Expensive SandwichThe McDonald sandwich - named after its creator Scott McDonald, the chef at London department store Selfridges - is said to be the world’s most expensive sandwich, at a price tag of £85 or $150.
Its cost is down to the Wagyu beef that makes up most of the filling, packed in a 24-hour fermented sour dough bread.

There have been at least five advance orders placed for the 21oz (595g) meal anyway.
Among the ingredients: Wagyu beef, the most expensive meat on the planet; Brie de Meaux, the finest cheese in Europe; fresh duck foia gras; black truffle mayonnaise; roquet leaf; British plum tomatoes; red peppers; mustard confit; and sour dough bread.

Wagyu cattle are one of the most expensive breeds in the world. The Japanese cows are raised on a special diet, including beer and grain. They are supposed to be regularly massaged with sake, the Japanese rice wine, to tenderize the flesh.

The managers say they’ve found a market for the item because they have customers with a taste for “all things gourmet” and one or two office-based customers who wanted to buy something extra special for a colleague.
