World's Most Expensive Sandwich.

Posted by Alex in Food & Drinks, Pictures on April 13, 2006 at 10:44 am


The world’s most expensive sandwich is for sale at Selfridges Department Store in London for £85 or $148. It is made from Wagyu beef, foie gras, black truffle mayo, brie de maux, roquet leaf, red peppers, mustard confit, British plum tomatoes, and sourdough 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.

It is called (ironically) the McDonald sandwich, after its creator Scott McDonald, the chef at the department store.

    For a 148-dollar burger, it'd better taste much better than the regular ones! Did anybody try one to tell us his/her experience?

    [...] Not to be outdone by the World’s Most Expensive Sandwich, Chef Tom Bridge is making the World’s Most Expensive Cheese Toast (£345 or $604 a slice!): He will use L’Aquila White Umbrian truffles at £1,400 per kilo, and Matsutake Chinese mushrooms, which are £250 a pound and are harvested under armed guard.

    What a load of balony!

    I live in Japan and the Wagyu meat is nothing special!
    My [Japanese] wife buys it every other day, and a 1kg pack will usually cost around US$10!
    In fact, it resembles nothing short of stringed fat with bits of meat hanging off it!
    It's virtually tasteless until covered or dipped in one of multitudes of sauces!
    Anyone who pays $148 for this sandwich is definitely being ripped off!
