A bakery has created Britain's "most expensive pork pie" and it's been priced at a whopping £100.
The costly snack been made with the traditional ingredients of pork and pastry - but garnished with a range of lavish toppings.
The additional special ingredients include black summer truffle, beluga caviar and edible 24-carat gold.
Turnbull’s Northumbrian Food in Alnwick says it's created the unique item as part of its annual Pork Pie Festival that is returning for the first time since the pandemic.
The Northumberland baker said if it sells for the asking price, the full £100 will be donated to the local foodbank.
Phillip Dickinson, known locally as Baker Phil, said: “We like to invent a new flavour of pork pie every year for the Pork Pie Festival.
"But this year, we really wanted to push the boat out and create something extra-special for the return of the festival.”
Describing what went into the £100 luxury pie, Phil explained: “I spoke to Russ, a trusted truffle dealer, who was able to arrange some of the very best Italian black summer truffles which are packed with tons of earthy flavour which will complement the sweet pork.
"I also managed to get my hands on some of the finest beluga caviar to put on the top of the pie, that will add a subtle salty and savoury element and result in a rich and opulent pork pie fit for royalty.”
Turnbull’s is a family butchery business dating all the way back to 1880.
Visitors will be able to taste-test eight varieties of homemade pork pies in store, with flavours including chorizo, black pudding, apple and cranberry.
The festival is on from Monday, August 22, until Sunday, August 28.
It comes after a very strange food discovery was made in a bag of crisps recently.
A mum was stunned after discovering a soggy potato the size of a golf ball lurking in her packet of crisps.
Helen Reed, 33, was about to tuck into a bag of her favourite cheese and onion crisps when she realised the first piece she fished out was soggy.
Convinced that the packet had somehow opened, Helen says she peered into the bag and was stunned to spot an entire potato peeping back at her.
Tipping the contents out, Helen discovered the "smelly" veg nestled alongside the crisps she was expecting in the packet of ironically named "REAL Crisps".
