Cheese on toast? That’ll be £345, please

I bet you didn’t know but it’s the first ever National Cheese on Toast Day tomorrow.   And, in a bid to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, Lancashire chef Tom Bridge has come up with a variation on the classic dish… at a staggering £345 per slice. But this is no ordinary slice of cheese on toast. The ingredients include L’Aquila White Umbrian truffles, at £1,400 per kilo, and Matsutake Chinese mushrooms, at £250 per lb. Also present at the event to be held in Leicester Square, London, will be the world’s largest ever piece of cheese on toast.
