British chef, Tristan Welch, has created the world’s “meatiest” sandwich. Crafted from 41 cuts of meat, a smattering of salad, cheese and gherkins, the mammoth sandwich took four painstaking hours to create, and a reported 10 hours to consume. Looking at the breakdown of flesh layered between the bread, the sandwich contained 1,445 grams of ham, two kilograms of salami, turkey and bacon, as well as one kilogram of sausages and 720 grams of chorizo. The meat extravaganza was created to help promote the launch of the Man vs Food program on the UK’s Food Network TV station.
