Jambons (from French jambon 'ham') are square pastries filled with cheese and chunks of ham. They are a ubiquitous deli item in Ireland. The product emerged during the 1990s as part of a broader movement towards "food to go".[1] Twenty million jambons were purchased by Irish consumers in 2020, cementing it as Ireland's most popular comfort food.[2]
Jambons are known in France as paniers feuilletés au jambon et au fromage (puff pastry baskets with ham and cheese).[3][4]
