When Girl Meets 30

National Sandwich Day! World’s Most Expensive Sandwiches

November 3, 2011 By Erin Kennedy 2 Comments

Happy National Sandwich day! I love me some meat between 2 pieces of bread. With extra cheese of course. I will crave those damn things. I could do a post with a bunch of sandwiches, but why not see how to make the most expensive sandwiches in the world? Well really, just England. They now how to put the most expensive ingredients together to make that meat and bread a real decadent lunch.

Food historians generally attribute the creation of the sandwich to John Montague (born on November 3), the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. It’s said that the Earl would gamble for hours at a time, sometimes even refusing to get up for meals. He allegedly ordered his servant to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread. Others began to order “the same as Sandwich!”

von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich $197.00

This sandwich is made from ham, poulet de Bresse, white truffles, quail eggs, semi-dried Italian tomatoes and 24-hour fermented sour dough bread, and weighs 530 grams. The extremely rare ham is air-cured for nearly 30 months and comes from a black-footed pig, with the poulet de Bresse being a well-known delicacy in its own right.

Berkshire, England by James Parkinson, the Executive Head Chef for the von Essen collection.

The MacDonald $170.00

The MacDonald consists of wagyu beef, fresh lobe foie gras, black-truffle mayonnaise, brie de Meaux, rocket (arugula), red pepper and mustard confit and English plum tomatoes and is served on a 24-hour fermented sour dough bread. London, England.

Cheese Sandwich $152.00

A Michelin-starred chef Martin Blunos, who hand-crafted the luxury snack using cheddar blended with expensive white truffles, slices of quail’s egg, heirloom black tomato, epicure apple, and fresh figs. It is dressed with 100-year-old balsamic vinegar and the sourdough bread – is sprinkled with edible gold dust. London, England

    Thank God for the Earl of Sandwich. The world would be a hungry place without him. I’m so glad that he figured out the if we put the meat between bread our fingers don’t get so greasy and sticky. Genius. Sheer genius!

    Holy crap! Screw an expensive sandwich – at those prices I can get 3 Coach purses. The sandwich will just get eaten – the purses are at least reusable :D
