CHOW DOWN ON THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE KEBAB
3 June 2011
Fast food has never tasted so good...or so expensive.
Chef Andy Bates has created the most expensive kebab in the world to mark the launch
of The Great Food Truck Race TV show.
The dish has moved on from being a humble doner to include saffron-infused flat bread,
milk-fed lamb from the Pyrenees and even edible gold.
The “King of Kebabs” uses gold leaf for a finishing flourish and champagne-infused
mint and cucumber yoghurt completes the luxury. It costs a whopping £750 ($1,220).
The
ingredients include Shoulder of milk-fed lamb (£84), Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes ( £20),
Micro Cress and Bibb Salad ( £11.95), Chili Peppers ( £35), Barrel Aged Feta Cheese
( £54.20), Laudemio Extra Virgin Olive Oil ( £26.95), Purple violet potatoes ( £15),
Edible gold leaf and platinum ( £130), Saffron (£138), Krug Champagne ( £195), Other
ingredients (garlic, lemon, salsa, mint, cucumber, yoghurt) ( £40) which totals the
£750.10.
Chew on that!
