World's most expensive cheese on toast

Welsh Rarebit is to give cheese on toast a posh name. And how posh can you get when it comes in at £345 a slice.

Master chef and author Tom Bridge has reinvented the ubiquitous snack by including £600-a-lb white Umbrian truffles and £250-a-lb matsutake Chinese mushrooms in a version created for National Cheese on Toast Day. This momentous occasion occurs on the 27th April.

Tom Bridge opted for Warburtons Toastie bread and Lancashire cheese to complete the world's most expensive snack. A version will be auctioned on eBay with the highest bidder winning a personal home visit from the chef who will cook the dish for them.
