Percy Eats a Club Sandwich


Before jetting off to New Zealand, I stopped by Cliveden, the famous country house hotel in Berkshire, England, to pick up a couple of club sandwiches to go.

Ingredients: Iberico ham, poulet de Bresse, white truffles, quail eggs, semi-dried Italian tomatoes and 24-hour fermented sour dough bread.

Price: $196 (
£100)

Description:  "
Air-cured for 30 months, the Iberico ham comes from the prized black-footed pig (Pata Negra), while the poulet de Bresse is described by the French as the 'fourth gastronomic wonder of the world'.  The notoriety of the chicken of Bourg-en-Bresse dates back to the sixteenth century when Henry IV of France demanded its inclusion on the courtly menu. At £2,500 per kilogramme, white truffles are some of the world's most expensive delicacies and a generous 10 grams are included in the ingredients of the sandwich.  Regarded by many as a natural aphrodisiac, the rich taste of the truffles perfectly complements the flavours of the sandwich, which may explain if you are feeling a little amorous after your lunchtime snack."
