World's Most Expensive Sandwich?

Selfridges, the London department store on Oxford Street, started selling a sandwich this week priced at £85 (about US$140)! It has 2,000 calories and is called the McDonald sandwich, named after their head chef, Scott McDonald. So, what do you get for this hefty price tag?

• Sourdough bread, fermented for 24 hours
• A large slice of Wagyu beef - the most expensive meat on earth. It comes from Kobe cattle in Japan, which are massaged, and fed on top-quality grain and beer.
• Brie de meaux, regarded as the finest cheese in Europe
• A bed of rocket salad
• Roasted peppers and cherry tomatoes
• Mayonnaise made from fois gras and black truffle

Not too surprisingly, the sandwich weighs a mighty 21 ounces (half a kilo)!
