The £100 sandwich

It is the ultimate lunchtime snack using the most sought-after ingredients from across the Continent.

But at £100 a time it costs more than dinner for one in some of the finest restaurants around the world.



The Von Essen Platinum club sandwich is a triple-decker gourmet delight containing the finest chicken, ham, hard-boiled quails' eggs and white truffles.

It is on the menu at Cliveden, Berkshire, the country house hotel, and it weighs in at more than 1lb.
