It would appear that we have reached peak Irishness.

Forget jumbo breakfast rolls, forget Irish Mammy-isms, forget ‘notions’ – the latest shining light of Irish culture is the bacon and cabbage roll.

Created by Richie Doyle & Sons Butcher’s in Co. Wexford, it is a thing of beauty and was recently rolled out (pun intended) for last weekend’s rugby match between Ireland and Scotland.

According to the shop’s Facebook page, the epic roll contains creamed potatoes with spring onion, thinly sliced Irish bacon, sweet buttered cabbage and ‘a drizzle of trusty auld chef brown sauce’!

Alas, Ireland were not triumphant in their rugby endeavours.

But I think we can all agree that we still had a great win that day – in the form of the most patriotic sandwich ever created!
