The traditional Aussie meat pie with sauce has been turned on its head and given a seriously posh makeover as a new ultra-gourmet version is now on offer with a whopping price tag of $12,000.
Recognized as The World’s Most Expensive Pie, the elaborate creation took Executive Chef, Paul Medcalf, three weeks to design in his kitchen at The Lord Dudley Hotel in Paddington - Sydney's affluent east.
The impressive list of ingredients could be mistaken for a luxurious feast fit for a king and his many guests - not to mention the fact that the deluxe pastry is topped with a golden leaf.
The #Posh Pie has been certified by online world record site Record Setter as being The Most Expensive ‘Surf & Turf’ Pie in the World.
Not really a great surprise considering the filling is curated from a combination of premium Australian and international ingredients including two different cuts of premium beef, two whole West Australian rock lobsters and two bottles of Penfolds Grange Reserve.
Medcalf then gave the classic ‘surf and turf' concept an extravagant twist with the addition of rare Winter Black truffles and dried Italian porcini mushrooms.
As if this wasn't enough to get you salivating, the pie is topped with homemade organic pastry adorned with German gold leaf.
Medcalf experimented with various ingredients and methods before settling on his final recipe after three long weeks of trial and error.
