£2 is expensive for a basic cheese sandwich

Ain’t no way the most expensive sandwich in London is only £28 💀

TWOOO POOOUNDS for a dry cheese sandwich?!! That's more outrageous than the Wagyu! 😆 *Update.* It's actually now 2.70. (just checked the menu on Gmaps) 👀

That cheese sandwich was identical to the type of sandwich I'll make myself at 4am in one minute flat because my stomach has decided it's going to keep me awake until I filll it with something.

Back in 2018 I got an egg and cress Sandwich in a Sainsbury's near Euston, reduced to 26p! I'll never forget that for the rest of my days

They should have made that expensive sandwich fresh considering how pricey it was! That cheese sandwich looked good though ☺️

You can get a plain cheese sandwich from like Morrisons / Asda for about £1. If you make it a meal deal, you can get a wide range of sandwiches, plus snack and drink for anywhere between £3-5 at most supermarkets, and they do taste good / are worth the price.

£28 is reasonable considering its wagyu steak. Looks delicious.

bro £2 for a cheese sandwich is still crazy😂😂 London prices are different

If im spending £28 on a sandwich, it better not be pre-made in a cabinet. It better be made fresh for me, especially to stop the bread getting soggy

In Honolulu, if you're near a construction site, hit up the lunch trucks (we call them lunch wagons). You'll get a solid lunch that'll fill you up and not empty your wallet.

you cannot beat a basic cheese sandwich with a cup of tea

no way £2 is cheap for a cheese sandwich bruh london is insane

That's the saddest cheap sandwich I've ever seen, it needs a slice of tomato and maybe some lettuce

How to actually get the cheapest Sandwich in London: 1. Enter your local co-op 2. Pick up a sandwich or anything else while your at it that you can carry 3. Casually walk out, they're paid too low to care and trust me I've seen this happen in person (Although this is true dont actually do this, its a joke)

The Maestro looks like a good place- lots of options I've never been lucky enough to chance upon myself- but I bet the locals don't keep going back for that cheese sandwich!

For a 28 bucks sandwich I'd expect them to make it fresh to order. Did they really put precious wagyu in a pre-made sandwich and let it get cold??????

The plain cheese sandwich is what they give to you when your parents forget to pay the school lunch and you have to go to the office and get a crusty dusty 1 slice of cheese sandwich 😭😭

only in england would a restaurant have the audacity to sell untoasted white bread with a few slices of cheese in between 💀

£2 for a cold cheese sandwich 🤨 now that’s expensive

You know what’s cheaper, a sandwich from a meal deal. You get it for £1 and you get crisps and a drink with it

Absolutely Ludacris 😂😂😂

i appreciate all the investigation that went into finding the best and cheapest sandwich in London. You practiced more sleuthing and deduction than Sir Watson and Sherlock Holmes. And that Harrod's sandwich was indeed very expensive, I did buy a Scottish (scotch?) egg from Harrod's one time apprehensively and it was delicious and worth the 5 US dollars it cost. However, as an ignorant American, when I went to London, I absolutely fell in love with the Cheese and Onion sandwich at Waitrose which comes in a meal deal where you get a bag of chips and a soda beverage for like 4 dollars. It was amazing! When you bite into the cheese and onion sandwich it is like a choir of angels burst into song at St. Paul's Cathedral. Honestly, the meal deal at Tesco is the best thing in the world!

I once went to Harrods for afternoon tea with my mum and relatives. The sandwiches were still frozen, ended up getting a full refund but no way would I ever go back of spend nearly £30 on just a sandwich from there

Sometimes a basic white bread cheese sandwich just hits the spot

Best sandwich I ever had was when I absolutely hammered at the theatre. Was watching Daniel Radcliffe on stage, stole a penny he dropped and then fell into the lobby, getting this brown bread, ham and cheese chutney for like 6 quid. Was gone lay heaven. And helped soothe the hangover the next day.

I've found you can spend that $28 or whatever at a smaller, cheaper place, get better food and enough of it to eat three-four times sometimes. Really miss a place in Florida called Blue Boy's. Just huge, simple sandwiches, about $8 but that sandwich was like the size of a tv dinner TRAY. And as tall as about four of them! They'd put all the spicy bits on my preferred (cheaper, lol) option for me without charging once they learned I really did like them, and the cooks would come out and chat with us after we became regulars when it was slow. I'd give a whole lot to have just one more of those sandwiches, I really would.

The best sandwich I ever had was a simple baguette with cheese at the Paris train station. I would go back just for that sandwich.

Sometimes cheaper is better. I hate that feeling when you finely decide to try something that cost more, only to be let down.❤

That cheese unironically looks S-tier

when I would go to London, and take the girls along... work related, we would go shopping at a grocery store (not one in London) and bring our own sandwich fixings. It was great, also water bottles. Then a soda and some ice cream (not fancy ice cream) for a treat. Paris I have cheap but delicious eating down, but London was "We'll picnic" only there weren't as many parks welcoming picnicking! Still it allowed them to come along.

For 28$ that bread better be toasty crunchy and drive me home.. I don't understand why u would pre make a toast sandwich and let it sit like that!!

“Fresh in front of you” - have you seen the sandwich

Ain’t no one going to talk about the ant on the cheap sandwich💀

Tesco sells an identical cheese sandwich for £1.50, not to mention you could easily buy the ingredients and make that yourself for far cheaper

Most expensive sandwich?! You could find a sandwich for a hell of a lot more than that in London

I'm from Thailand and ngl seeing these sandwiches make me sad

Shocking. Who would have guessed that the cheapest option was more worth the money than the most expensive? Amazing.

Love your positivity!

Moral of the story: just because it cost more don’t mean it’s worth more

It’s interesting to me that both the cheapest and the most expensive option were disappointing in their own way. Like, the cheese sandwich probably got the job done, but I wouldn’t leave home to get it. and i wouldn’t get it if I was out unless I really really really couldn’t afford much else. meanwhile for how expensive the other sandwich was, it’s unreasonable that they don’t make them fresh!!

OMG, your in the Daily Mail for this 14/6/23, I nearly choked on my tea

Just remember, you can get 20 of those for roughly 6 pound

2 quid for a cheese sandwich London is crazy

You cant go wrong with a cheese sandwich.

The chicken schnitzel sandwich is one of their best. They do one in a croissant which is amazing, and one in between waffles and honey. It's awesome food.

the pinnacle of British cuisine lmaooo

The cheapest sandwich looks soooo good. Then again, I love bread and cheese

Put the cheese sandwich on a griddle and toast it and it looks like it'd be sooooo goood

A sandwich in an English café is just another level of SANDWICH 🥪

Why is everyone saying £2 is expensive; that is a great price, especially for myself: I’m a uni student in London, and I don’t ever have time in the morning to make myself a sandwich. £2 is a steal, considering a meal deal sandwich is often more expensive and the bread ain’t even fresh

it’s probably because you got a wagyu sandwich takeout, and it’s been sitting out for 20+ mins. from my understanding wagyu is among if not the most prime highest quality cuts of beef. it’s gonna be juicy, melt in your mouth, n no match against even thick bread like that for any longer than a handful of minutes out the kitchen. so to get it takeout, and settling for eating it standing in your kitchen, instead of fresh out of *their kitchen* is probably some disrespect to the dish itself, as well as the restaurant but okay lol. personally i’d be silly not to eat a sandwich like that at the restaurant.

Wow. You know you’re somewhere fancy when they’ll add salt and pepper to your cheese.

The touch of salt and pepper has me sold

2 pounds! I need to start a sandich bussiness

The cheap sandwich looked yummmm!!

Boots has a chicken mayo that is around £1 (I think it’s a little more now I haven’t had in years ) and it slaps

I had the sandwich of the century in Busselton Western Australia. A Duck confit filled croque madame with 5 spiced cheese. $28 aud

sainsbury's meal deal: bacon brie and chili chutney sandwich, chili heatwave doritos and a bolt from the blue innocent smoothie. my personal HOLY TRINITY

that cheap sandwich was the most depressing thing ive ever seen and ive seen the wednesday series

£2 is cheaper than what you pay Tesco , and it’s freshly made! 😋

She is very adorable!!!

There’s just something about a cheese sandwich that completes life.

I think the cheese sandwich looks awful I think because I’m from America and we grill the cheese sandwiches, if it’s cold cheese I put it on crackers lol this is so weird to me. But glad you enjoyed it!

Any chance you can do a review of max's sandwich shop? I've been curious about it for years but I don't live in England.

Hello . Wow £28 for a sandwich glad it was you who was buying it. That’s a weekly shop for a family of three for us. X

Someone in Bangkok watching this so happy that they can buy a freshly cooked bowl of delicious pad thai from a street food vendor for £1 .

A brick of cheese…. I’d try the steak anyday

I've never more happy that I left the hell hole that is London 10 years ago...even the occasional business meeting is a real chore now and I feel blessed that I don't have to endure it everyday

you got finessed twice. I cant imagine being hyped over the second one.

Finally I found a KZfaqr that lives in England

UK colonized the world for spices and then eats bread with cheese 😂😂😂😂😂

Cheapest sandwich I've seen is cheese sandwich from Greggs for £1.05p

This is the most British comment section I’ve ever seen

This gives me vibes of the Burger Cookoff from Parks and Rec lol

Yum. Cold cheese and sticky white bread 🤨

All I got out of that was that England is deprived of good sandwiches

The cheapest cheese sandwich looks naked like someone stole its clothes.

£2 for a cheese sandwich is honestly more outrageous to me than a £28 wagyu sandwich

Would have been nice if they put a bit of Branston pickle in the sandwich. £2 is quite good.

Home bargains sell cheese and tuna sandwiches for £1

This feels like what Rishi Sunak thinks we can afford versus what we still struggle to afford 😭

Girl is looking like a cyberman with those headphones 💀💀💀

That cheese sandwich looks very good

You had a sandwich takeaway and complained it’s soggy, alright mate

I really enjoyed this…. Makes me think I need to get out more

I remember in Vancouver I had a $175 tomahawk steak (£100 in uk money) and it was great. But by far my fave steak was in this rundown kiosk in the corner of the city by this guy and his wife. Cost me $10 (£5) and it was the most delicious steak sandwich I ever had! And I’m telling you, to all those people who are like “oh yeah but that’s just 1 out of 10 there’s no way it’s like that” err wrong again, the best foods I’ve ever had have all been from street food vendors. The best pizza I ever had was originally what my dad made using ingredients from Sicily. BUT then I went to Malta and found this nice little narrow pizza place and it tasted like it had been blessed 🙏😭 the best food isn’t made with money, it’s made with love of one’s craft 😌

You know she’s middle class when she thinks £2 is the cheapest fresh sandwich she can get in London…

It was soggy because you waited until you got home to eat it. That’s an EAT IT WHEN SERVED sandwich.

I would love to try the Wagyu sandwich but only when freshly made. Looked delicious!

That cheese sandwich actually looks really good haha

What is the cheese

Maybe you should have got the cheapest steak sandwich to reallly compare

Can feel the cheese sticking to the top of my mouth just looking at it

That's why the Dutch always eat cheese sandwiches. It's just solid.

I’m sure if you ate the Harrods sandwich fresh when it was actually warmed and served, it would have been an incredible sandwich and worth every penny. If you had not waited until you were home, it wouldn’t be soggy and would have been much more enjoyable. It was clearly toasted and warmed up (you can tell by the char marks on the sandwich when you open up the box) ….. It’s not the sort of sandwich that you wait to eat. You eat it when you’re served it while it’s nice and warm, crispy and toasted. When you have meat such as wagyu, it’s such a fatty and juicy cut of meat, plus the butter, gravity is gonna help that bread soak all of those juices up. The journey home would definitely help that get soggier, plus the condensation of a closed box. Surely you knew that was going to happen if you didn’t eat it straight away? 😂🤣 It’s sacrilegious and quite a waste of what could have been a wonderful sandwich! 🤣

I love a plain cheese sarnie. Gotta be in seaded brown for me tho. When I was pregnant (35+yrs ago😊), I used to go to a Vegetarian Co-op in Waterloo Market (nr. The Cut). Although I'm not a Vegetarian they made these amazing cheese sarnies. I suppose I can assume it may have been a Veggie cheese 🤔 .....anyway.....it was grated onto the best bread I've ever had. Wholemeal cob: dense, dry, nutty-tasting. Sure they baked it on the premises, certainly tasted like an artisan/home bake. They used to place a sprig of curly parsley on top and wrap it in cling film. Sure it was nothing to do with pregnancy cravings, but I ate that 3 out of 5 Lunchtimes. If I could, I'd love to have one of those sarnies again, cos whenever I eat fresh parsley, I'm a back there, in SE1 in 1988 😋 ❤

guys if you go to tesco its like a pound

They should have toasted the bread on the expensive one

I would have returned the sandwich to Harrods with a complaint and demanded a refund or a credit. A 28 £ sandwich is very expensive and should be sold as top quality fare. Maybe they are unaware the sandwich is soggy. Or maybe it was sitting too long on the display case. A piece of lettuce on the bottom of the bread would perhaps have prevented it from getting soggy.
