Jambons (from French jambon ' ham'; Irish: siamban [1]) are square pastries filled with cheese and chunks of ham. They are a ubiquitous deli item in Ireland and parts of the UK. The product emerged during the 1990s as part of a broader movement towards "food to go". [2] The multinational bakery company Délifrance claims to have adapted and launched the jambon as a new product in the Irish market in 1997. [3]
Twenty million jambons were purchased by Irish consumers in 2020. [4] Following the trend of meat-free sausage rolls, vegan jambons have also been available since 2020. These pastries are produced in a similar manner, using meat substitutes and cheese analogues for the filling. [5] [2]
Jambons are known in France as paniers feuilletés au jambon et au fromage (puff pastry baskets with ham and cheese). [6] [7]
In the RTÉ comedy series Hardy Bucks, one of the main characters, Buzz McDonnell, has an obsession with jambons. [8] [9]
