When a café owner told friends he wanted to make the world’s most expensive bacon butty they thought he was telling porkies.

However, Paul Philips has proved them wrong by dishing up the ultimate £150 bourgeois breakfast bap in a bid to raise money for worthy causes – and hopefully a place in the record books.

The Bacon Bling sandwich consists of seven rashers of rare-breed pig, truffle spread, water cress, free range egg, sliced truffles, saffron and edible gold dust, all cooked in truffle oil.

‘Each one is expensive to make but I’ll keep doing it forever if it means raising money for charity,’ said the 41-year-old owner of Tangberry’s coffee house in Cheltenham.

‘I worked out the price by tripling what it costs to buy the products so I think that’s fair with the time and effort put in.

‘It is a bit cheeky though, it’s expensive – but hopefully there are people out there willing to part with their cash for a good quality bacon sarnie.’

Some of the proceeds will go to SKRUM, a British charity based in Swaziland that helps children to play rugby.

A New York restaurant holds the current record for the most commercially expensive hamburger in the world, on sale for a whopping £2,839.

I don't understand this fascination with bacon. Bacon milkshakes? Bacon *flavored* shaving cream?

While no one was looking, I'd eat the damn thing in two bites then point to Kelly when asked "what happened!?!"

Me either. I realize, most of the time, I live in my own little world, but, I missed the bacon thing and the Kool-Aid references at an independent wrestling group.

There is supposedly a book out called, "Fifty Shades of Bacon." Go figure!
