“What do I get for my £100” I hear you say:

• Iberico ham
• Poulet de Bresse
• White truffles
• Quail eggs
• Semi-dried tomatoes
• Fermented sour dough bread

The sandwhich appears on the Cliveden House hotel in Taplow, Berkshire, UK menu these days and weighs in at an incredible half a kilo. It was also thought to have been a favourite of Edward, Duke of Windsor and his wife Duchess of Windsor, formerly Wallis Simpson.

The hotel describes the triple-decker gourmet sandwich as “the perfect lunchtime treat for gastronomes”. FAT CATS more like!
