    Try the selfridges £85 sarnie (thats what... $170)

    If your idea of a sandwich is a cheap snack, think again. Selfridges is charging £85 for one. But this is no ordinary sarnie.

    It contains Wagyu beef, made from exclusively reared Japanese bullocks, famed for their succulent marbled flesh and pampered lifestyle, which includes massages, beer drinking and listening to soothing music.

    Last year, Wagyu beef became the filling in the world's most expensive burger. But Selfridges has upped the ante in this particular price war by adding more luxury fillings. Its £85 sandwich also contains foie gras (made from the livers of force-fed French geese), rocket, red peppers, black truffle mayonnaise, mustard confit, brie de meaux.

    All this is wrapped up in 24-hour fermented sour dough bread (whatever that is). As well as being the world most expensive sandwich, it is also likely to be the sandwich that racks up the most food miles. But in a concession to advocates of locally sourced produce, it does include English plum tomatoes.

    • is it an oxymoron to eat a pampered cow and a force-fed goose at the same time?Cultr
