And now, possibly the world's most expensive sandwich - the McDonald sandwich, named after its creator Scott McDonald, the chef at London department store Selfridges - goes on sale from tomorrow at the department store, in Oxford Street, London at a cost of £85 ($148).
Slices of 24-hour fermented sour dough bread are spread with a mayonnaise flavoured with foie gras (£30 a lb) and black truffle (£340 a lb). This is followed with a generous helping of brie de meaux, considered Europe's finest cheese.
A third of the sandwich's weight consists of Wagyu beef (considered the world’s most expensive meat). This beef costs £28 a pound and is imported from Japan. The meat is seared in a pan on both sides for two minutes and then basted with yet more foie gras before being chilled for 15 minutes and sliced.
English cherry tomatoes and rocket, plus peppers roasted on a naked flame and then skinned and sliced finely, complete the presentation.
So far there have been at least five advance orders placed for the 21oz (595g) meal.
