LINKS: The Most Expensive Cheese Sandwich

By Erica


At the Frome Cheese show in England, chef Martin Blunos (above) announced his latest creation: a cheese sandwich that costs £111! That's about $171.50 for us Americans. The large cost comes from the addition of white truffle cheddar cheese (although flecks of gold add a few unnecessary pounds, too). Cheese sandwiches are all the rage in England, apparently, and Blunos is applying to the Guiness Book of World Records to get his pricey sandwich officially on the books.

Here's a full list of the ingredients (with their prices):

Black tomato – £1.51
Balsamic vinegar – £2.25
Pea shoots – 60p
Red mustard frill – 55p
Red amaranth – 55p
Two fresh figs – 1.36p
Apple – 34p
Sourdough loaf – £5
Extra virgin olive oil – £1.60
Quail eggs – £1.53
Edible gold dust – £3.30
West Country vintage farmhouse cheddar blended with white truffle – £92
