McDonald sandwich - the world's most expensive sandwich?

Despite the name, this sandwich doesn’t come with Coke and fries. Rather than being of golden arches fame, the McDonald sandwich is named after Scott McDonald, a chef at the London department store Selfridges. And, at £85, it probably wouldn’t be considered as cheap fast food! In a bid to justify the price tag, the sandwich consists of wagyu beef, fresh lobe foie gras, black truffle mayonnaise, brie de meaux, rocket, red pepper and mustard confit and English plum tomatoes.
Personally I’d have made it a lot more expensive as £85 although pricey for everyday isn’t totally out of the reach of Joe Bloggs by any means. If it’s not really exclusive then it loses it’s appeal.
Unfortunately I’m just a little too far from London to test it.
