Most would say the humble sandwich is the backbone of British lunches, and usually an affordable food choice.
That was until Harrods decided to push the boat out and create a wagyu steak sandwich that will set you back a whopping £28 - yes, you heard right.
Fabulous decided to put this “elite” lunchtime offering to the test to see if it’s really worth the eye-watering price tag.
When we arrived there were still numerous sandwiches on display, and we wondered whether this was an indication of the price or the taste - or perhaps Harrods always keeps its supplies well-stocked.
As well as containing the prime meat — usually imported from Japan — it has porcini and truffle butter, gold mustard mayonnaise, mushrooms, rocket and braised onions.
The wagyu was filled right to the edge, as it should be for that price, and was cooked medium rare as I like it.
Alongside the meat you could really taste a harmony of flavours, including the “gold” mustard mayonnaise (dijon not real gold), and beer-braised onions. It was a truly decadent experience.
