LONDON - The world’s most expensive cheese sandwich has been unveiled at a whopping price of 112 pounds.

Celebrity chef Martin Blunos, 50, created it by using ordinary cheddar blended with expensive white truffles and then topped with gold dust.

He also included a 100-year-old balsamic vinegar, bread costing 5 pounds, slices of quail’s egg, black tomatoes, epicure apple and fresh figs.

Topping it off is a salad layer of dainty mustard red frills, pea shoots and red amaranth.

The gourmet dish is the main attraction at the Frome Cheese Show in Somerset where the Food Poker star is judging a sandwich-making competition.

“We Brits are known to love our cheese sandwiches, and here’s one that not only comes with a royal price tag but is fit for the banqueting table,” the Sun quoted Michelin-starred Blunos as saying.

“The white truffle fuses beautifully with the West Country Farmhouse Cheddar and the edible gold leaf gives it a really special look.

“In fact, washed down with a bottle of Krug, what more could you want?” he added.

There is no current record for the most expensive cheese sandwich but Blunos and cheese makers Pilgrims Choice have applied to have this one recognised. (ANI)
