The original owner of the Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich is having its likeness tattooed on her chest. Diana Duyser, from Fort Lauderdale, FL was inked with a facsimile of the famous sandwich and will now be able to carry it with her close to her heart wherever she goes. Ms. Duyser kept the food item in her freezer for 10 years before she decided to sell it online.
The 11-year-old grilled cheese sandwich has now been in the possession of GoldenPalace.com since they purchased it on eBay in November of 2004. The media attention generated by this now infamous auction buy has yet to subside. And now there’s more news about the celebrated sandwich.
Diana says that after she made the sandwich, she went to take a bite of it, and realized that it was staring back at her. That’s when she realized that it was something special. She didn’t use any unusual ingredients to make it, and it has never had anything done to it to preserve it in its pristine (though missing a bite) condition. Some people think that the fact that it has never become moldy or deteriorated in any way, is proof of its divine powers.
