World's most expensive sandwich goes on sale

The world‟s most expensive sandwich went on sale at a department store in London recently. The McDonald Sandwich was named after its maker, chef Scott McDonald. It sold for 85 pounds, or 148 dollars, or 122.53 euros each.

Scott McDonald said the idea came to him when he was taking the train home several weeks ago. He wanted to know what he could possibly put in a sandwich if people had enough money to buy it.

The ingredients include Wagyu beef (和牛牛肉), the most expensive meat on the planet. Wagyu beef comes from Japan. People there massage the cows and feed them on beer before making them into beef! The sandwich also has Europe‟s finest cheese in it.

Mr. McDonald added, “Tasting it you would probably think, „thats rich! He got 7 orders before the sandwich was ready.

The first person to buy the sandwich was a food lover, and he was taking it back to the office to share with his boss.

The 61-year-old man said, “My friends will say that I am mad spending 85 on a sandwich, but if its very delicious, then that‟s OK. I‟m a big food fan.”

Not everyone in the store wanted to pay that much for a sandwich. A lucky 23-year-old girl got to sample the sandwich and said, The bread was really nice, but would I pay 85 for it? I dont think so. A retired man said, You must be joking. You can get a suit for that much. Even if I had a pension (退休金) as big as Tony Blairs, I wouldn‟t spend it on an 85-pound sandwich.”

A woman, also retired, said she wouldn‟t buy one “in a million years.” She added, “Two slices of bread and some filling. Id be very surprised if they can sell one a day.”

Dear Sir or Madam,

My parents dont give me enough pocket money to buy new outfits(外衣). I‟m tired of wearing my old clothes. I think I look like a truck. So what shall I do?

Fashion Girl Dear Fashion Girl,

Middle school can be hard to dress like a pop star. Most teens dont have enough money to buy the same shoes that Yao Ming or Zhang Ziyi wears. So what can you do?

I think, being stylish does not mean dressing like them. Its important to know what your style is before you start shopping.

There are many things you can do. To begin with, think creatively about the clothes you do have ---there is probably a lot of interesting stuff in your closet that you have forgotten about. Ask your friends for advice and ideas.

Getting extra money from your parents is another good idea. Explain to them exactly what you would like and why. You will need a better reason than, its the coolest thing this year! Perhaps you can remind them that they themselves wear different clothes in different situations and you, too, need some nice clothes that you dont have right now. Remind them that it is always a good thing to be dressed nicely. Finally, your parents need to know that it is not simply the most expensive, brand name clothes in the mall that you want to buy. There are a lot of really cool clothes that dont cost that much. But you have to be creative and look hard for good deals.
