How much would you pass on a chicken sandwich ? $ 5 ? $ 10 ? What about $ 1,500 ? go like a lot for a sandwich , and the mass get even less sweet when you find out it takes six month to make it from gelt .
The sandwich was the passion undertaking of Andy George , host ofHow To Make Everything , a YouTube channel that ’s amassed 1.74 million endorser . In an episode that went live in 2015 , he check the hard way how much effort can go into make a bang - average sandwich .
“ I spend 6 calendar month and $ 1500 to make a sandwich altogether from scratch , including develop my own vegetables , lay down my own saltiness from sea water , milking a moo-cow to make cheese , grinding my own flour from wheat , collecting my own honey , and killing a wimp myself , ” write George onYouTube .
It begins with growing a garden – after all , you need a place to get those veg . Next , George tackles the salt with a trip to the ocean . The seawater is boiled down and the suspicious white powder pop into a Ziploc – the same container that deport off atomato for an eight - month joy ride in space – that made getting through airdrome security a small more consequential .
It ’s crucial to note that while ocean Strategic Arms Limitation Talks is perfectly desirable for season your food , making salt from heavily polluted saltwater can be baffling . Heavy metals , chemicals , and bacteria can be present and may dawdle if the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks is n’t prepared properly .
We later see George mechanically agitating some freshly squeeze moo-cow ’s milk , churning the fatty “ cream ” bed of the milk , which causesbutterfat globulesto stick together . Eventually , the fats are combined into a lummox we know as butter , and the remain liquid is what we call buttermilk .
Six months and a bunch of money later , George finally has his from - scratch line sandwich . So , how did it savour ? According to his friends and phratry , not good .
“ It tastes like a corkboard dip in maize juice , ” one person can be heard pronounce in the video . Damn .
As DIY projects go , it ’s not even the eldritch we ’ve see this workweek . We beg you , lay eyes on the wonder that is ahomemade toaster .
