Cork provided a crucial element in this MASSIVE 32-ingredient All-Ireland sandwich

We could probably have sourced the whole lot here, TBH.
But as Ireland’s gourmet capital, Cork provided one of the most important layers in a 32-ingredient sandwich, with one item from a different local food producer in each of the counties.
Gubbeen Farmhouse Cheese, representing Co. Cork was the county winner in a Heinz competition that saw hundreds of nominations from all over the country, with the final ingredients chosen by David Adams, Head of Heinz Ireland, and Dee Laffan, food writer and presenter.
The final sandwich was constructed by the chefs at Elephant & Castle using everything pictured here:

“Our final recipe represents all of the wonderful local produce Ireland has to offer and is the perfect inspiration for a halftime treat to make at home ahead of this Saturday’s final.” said David Adams, Head of Heinz Ireland.
“We’ve designed our sandwich in layers – one fish, one meat and one cheese – with it all held in place by four different types of bread and of course lashings of our Heinz [Seriously] Good Mayonnaise. A bit like an ultimate club sandwich.”
