Sounds insane.

Like all of us I like bacon and I love truffles - but combining them? Won't the fragrance of the truffles be entirely overwhelmed by the smell of the bacon? And in what way will the gold dust improve the taste of these stronger-tasting ingredients? (But it may of course justify a higher price.)

We need Rudge's expert opinion!

Well from what I've read on this forum, Bacon is Golden....... 

So now, it is actually served with gold, truffle spread, sliced truffles and saffron.

But please don't forget, this was for charity, and the ingredients together cost 50 euro's ($67.24 currently).

I suppose the Question is, if you had the money, would you choose to donate to charity this way ?

Or just donate all $235 to the charity direct ?

Horses for courses I guess
