Truly rare
In the tradition of the 30,000 calorie sandwich and the $1000US sundae, I present yet another incredible menu item. Billed as possibly the world’s most expensive sandwich, this £85 sandwich is being offered as part of a more refined lunchtime experience at Selfridges in London. Created to offer a truly gourmet experience, this sandwich contains the following:
- rare Wagyu beef - Wagyu cattle are one of the most expensive breeds in the world. These 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 finest fresh duck foie gras - the fattened liver of a duck that has been overfed. Along with truffles, foie gras is considered one of the greatest delicacies in French cuisine.
- black truffle mayonnaise
- brie de meaux - One of the finest and best known French cheeses
- roquet - also called Rocket lettuce, apparently, this is what is commonly known as arugula. It is an aromatic salad green very popular in Italian cuisine.
- red pepper and mustard confit (preserve)
- with English plum tomatoes
- in a 24-hour fermented sour dough bread
