Joy! 3 more whopper Cork Christmas sandwiches you should try this week
Start making that list.
If, like us, one of your main aims this festive season is to sample as many Christmas sandwiches as you can stuff in your gob before New Years, we have good news.
Hot on the heels of this Griolladh monster, three more Cork spots have now unveiled their 2024 Christmas sandwich to the hungry masses and they’re all ready and waiting for you this lunchtime.
To us, the Christmas sandwich isn’t just food. It’s an experience. It’s the glue that holds your entire festive spirit together after you’ve spent 15 minutes staring at the Christmas lights, questioning your life choices, and wondering how you’re going to make it through another round of aunties asking about your “love life.”
Here’s where to eat your feelings:
1. CAFE GUSTO, WASHINGTON STREET
At Gusto, they brine and poach their own turkey so you know their Christmas sambo is legit. This classic combination involves layers of turkey breast, Brie de Meaux, house made cranberry sauce and herby stuffing, real mayo and baby spinach leaves served in your choice of ciabatta, sourdough, whole meal high pan, wrap or non-gluten bread.
Get yours made to order in Washington Street or fresh off the dairy wall in Lapps Quay.

2. WILDFLOUR, INISHANNON
People speak in hushed tones about the famous Christmas sandwich at WildFlour in Inishannon. Stuffed with moist meats and all the fixins’, at least some of the magic lies in the crunch of their fresh focaccia, which holds up extremely well under the pressure of this much filing.

ELLEN’S KITCHEN, RUSHBROOKE, COBH
A behemoth of a sambo, the Christmas Sandwich at Ellen’s is akin to the one you’d make for yourself on Christmas Eve if you got home from the pub before everyone else and nobody was supervising the cooked ham.
A feast of oven roast turkey, baked ham, cranberry sauce, stuffing and brie cheese, this will keep you going for days.
