85-pound Sandwich

News item: 85-pound sandwich for sale at Selfridge’s (some upscale food chain in Britain.) No, not in weight, but GBP. That is $170 in Canadian funds. Some mo’fo “grand chef” is making a Wagyu (Kobe beef) sandwich, with roasted peppers and cherry tomatoes with mixed greens on “24-hour fermented” sourdough bread, and that’s what the motherfuckers are selling it for.

Apparently, as yet, there are no takers.

No fucking kidding! For that price, I want a personal chef to come over to my house and assemble it. I certainly wouldn’t pay that for some piece of shit Saran-wrapped crap that’s been sitting around in a food case for twelve hours, but that’s what the news bite showed.

They deserve to be whipped with celery stalks. Where has humility gone?

  2. I must admit I'd like a nibble. But please only charge me for a nibble.

  3. Zen,

    That's one hell of a take. It must be sweaty hot down there in Savannah.

    Just wait till I make MY sandwich out of my leftover Wagyu. No pussy Brie for me. Maybe a serrano cheddar . . .
