Behold the Meatiest Sandwich in Human History [Sandwiches]

Behold the Meatiest Sandwich in Human History [Sandwiches]:
Behold the Meatiest Sandwich in Human HistoryGenghis Khan. Alexander the Great. Dagwood. Men of insatiable appetites, all. But none of them came close to creating—much less consuming—a sandwich of this magnitude. Bow, mortal, to the 35 meats, 28 pounds, and countless shuttered arteries that comprise the meatiest sandwich ever.
British chef/madman Tristan Welch created the flesh-pile in honor of the UK debut of Man Versus Food, a popularish US show that features a large, affable man who travels from town to town, engaging in food challenges while being cheered on by locals who are excited to be on television. It's a triumph of conspicuous consumption, and there really couldn't be a more fitting tribute than a sandwich the size of a three year-old human person.
The full rundown of ingredients, if you're looking for a project this Memorial Day weekend:
120g Ndjua

260g roast beef

120g boiled ham

160g Proscuitto

150g honey-roast ham

90g cooked turkey

155g cooked chicken

155g garlic chicken

180g smoked duck breast

120g cooked pork

120g roast ham

280g corned beef

150g German salami

150g Italian sausage

240g cured ham

80g French peppercorn salami

70g Saucisson Sec de Provence

70g herbed Saucisson Sec de Provence

360g chorizo

70g serrano ham

80g pastrami

140g pancetta

150g bacon

70g garlic salami

70g Italian salami

80g dry-cured Proscuitto

380g Bratwurst sausage

150g breaded ham

100g Mortadella

100g Speck

150 Parma ham

100g smoked venison

250g beetroot, sliced

110g assorted salad leaves

1 large red onion, sliced into rings

680g gherkins, sliced

As Geekologie points out, that's 2.5 pounds of non-meat in a 28-pound sandwich. And you can move that ratio even more if you just go easy on the beetroot. [Food Network via Geekologie]
