[...] is dressed with 100-year-old balsamic vinegar and the sourdough bread - which costs £5 alone - is sprinkled with powdered E175.[...]
Blunos worked with expert cheese-makers at local west country producer Pilgrim's Choice to create the special white truffle blend, which gives the sandwich its hefty price tag.
He said: "We Brits are known to love our cheese sandwiches, and here's one that not only comes with a royal price tag but is fit for the banqueting table.
'The white truffle fuses beautifully with the West Country Farmhouse Cheddar and the edible gold leaf gives it a really special look.'

In fact,I do believe the primary motivation behind the foundation of the Plymouth Colony was to escape the horribly wide variety of excellent cheese in Europe for the solace of the plasticy, tube based, US equivalent.
So what do they know?
