We don’t know how much you might be willing to pay for a chicken sandwich. But we’re sure you won’t spend $1,500. This seems like a lot for one sandwich, and the fact that it would take six months to make this sandwich makes it difficult to accept such an offer.
The sandwich in question was the passion project of Andy George, host of How To Make Everything, a YouTube channel with 1.74 million subscribers. In an episode that aired in 2015, he learned the hard way just how much effort can go into making an average sandwich.
“I spent 6 months and $1,500 making a sandwich completely from scratch, including growing my own vegetables, making my own salt from ocean water, milking a cow to make cheese, grinding my own flour from wheat, harvesting my own honey, and killing a chicken myself,” George wrote on YouTube. says.
It all starts with preparing a garden where vegetables will be grown. George then boils seawater to solve the salt problem, then puts the remaining suspicious white powder into a zip-top bag. This makes going through airport security a little more eventful.
However, although ocean salt is very suitable for flavoring your food, it is important to remember that producing salt from heavily polluted seawater can bring other problems. Heavy metals, chemicals and bacteria may be present in the structure of this salt and may remain in the salt if it is not prepared properly. We then see George mechanically agitating freshly squeezed cow’s milk, removing the milk’s fatty “cream” layer and collecting globules of butter.
After six months and a lot of money, George had his own sandwich made from scratch. Unfortunately, according to friends and family, it didn’t taste very good. “It tastes like a cork board dipped in lemon juice,” one person can be heard saying in the video.
