Cheap Eats

By Manolo the Shoeblogger

Eighty-five of the English Pounds for the Sandwich?

The ingredients of the sandwich are: Wagyu beef, fresh Lobe foie gras, black truffle mayonnaise, brie de meaux, roquet, red pepper and mustard confit and English plum tomatoes.

Bah. Well the Manolo remembers the mania last year for the Thousand Dollar Omelette, and the Ten Thousand Dollar Martini.

The Selfridges they will have to go to much greater lengths if they wish to win in the ridiculously expensive foods competition.

    Bah Humbug is right. I’ll take a corned beef sandwich from a Lower East Side deli any old day.

    Yikes. Why would the nation that has the delight that is Coronation Chicken Salad sandwiches need this? Even the supermarket-brand CC salad is tasty, and a little deli in Helmsley, Yorks. made the best CC salad sandwich I ‘ve ever had. Possibly the best sandwich I’ve ever had.

    It is also possible to add the 1K Mint Julep to the list of the cheap eats.
