The Frome Cheese Show claims to be the oldest in the country. And organisers hope its cheese sandwich, costing £110.59, is the world's most expensive.
It was created by Bath-based chef Martin Blunos and is made with cheddar blended with white truffles and sprinkled with gold dust.
There is no current official record for the most expensive cheese sandwich.
Mr Blunos said: "We Brits are known to love our cheese sandwiches and here's one that is fit for the banqueting table. Martin Blunos with cheese sandwich Martin Blunos has applied to Guinness World Records to have the sandwich recognised
"The white truffle fuses beautifully with the West Country cheddar and the edible gold gives it a really special look.
"Washed down with a bottle of Krug what more could you want? - although I can't recommend you share it with your bank manager."

I can make a turd expensive if I sprinkle it with enough Gold dust.
Nope - it was real cheddar.
Back in the day I knew some folks at college who were receiving government commodities which included a brick of cheese. When they got their monthly allotment they would throw a big food party.
It only went to the welfare class, (not my family), forgot where I tasted it, but oh boy gooooooood stuff.
Made me so mad that "THEY" get all the good stuff, we get I guess what falls on the floor, then packaged.
Well, it won’t be long till Moochelle spends another couple millions of our dollars and flies over there to get one of those.
As the b1tch said, “ More expensive than lobster, I’m on it!!”
Opulence. I has it.
we're out of that tooo...

Fries with that?
“...feeling a bit peckish.”
i was actually, till i had some excellent Cabot's Sharp Cheddar in my salad tonight...
We used to get this stuff in parochial school in the 60’s, it was the best. Couldn’t get enough of it.
Acrtually, my memory of having it was that it was surprisingly good. It comes from the Ag Dept. buying up milk, so it’s actually cheese, not oil. Looks like cheap crap, but not bad. I also remember getting someone’s canned pork that they didn’t want a couple of times. Looked like dog meat coming out of the can, but was actually some damn good-tasting pork, if you used it right.

I have a friend in the precious metals recovery business. I wonder what lengths he’d go to to recover that...
Great Python scene—almost word for word the same experience I once had at an ice cream shop in India. 37 flavors on the board, but only one in the store. Kept telling me they had everything. Except that one. And that one. Took 10 minutes to find out what flavor he actually had, and it was 120 outside.

Once you eat it, that’s basically what you’ve done.
I would have been dumfoundedly staring at the guy in full expectation of him to bust out laughing and say, “Bery gud joke, eh? I like your Moonty Python!”
This is getting to be a very Krafty Thread!
I had a few Gouda Puns For you, but my mouse decided to Edam up.

Does that include chips and a pickle?
