A lot of dough: 85-pound sandwich to go on sale in London

[MotherOfGizmo]

A new gourmet sandwich is to go on sale at an upmarket London store Monday -- but at a cost of 85 pounds (122 euros, 148 dollars), it could be too much to swallow for hungry shoppers.

The cheekily-named McDonald sandwich -- after its creator Scott McDonald, the executive chef of department store Selfridges on Oxford Street -- earns its whopping price tag because of the Wagyu beef that makes up most of the filling.

According to the Sunday Telegraph, which had a taster of the expensive delicacy, the 21-ounce (595-gramme) sandwich comprises 24-hour fermented sour dough bread, spread with a foie gras-flavoured mayonnaise.

It also contains Brie de Meaux, considered one of Europe's finest cheeses, English cherry tomatoes and rocket, plus roasted peppers

They have a $160 burger in Vegas because it has shaved truffles on it! It was on a Food Network show the other night. I was like, $160 for black Angus? Then they told about the truffles, so I guess that makes it worth it, NOT!

I've been to the Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. I had a 20 dollar burger, but I would never go for a burger/sandwich like those described. That's just silly. I normally wouldn't pay 20 for a burger, but this was a damn good burger, lol.
