World's meatiest sandwich contains 5kg of meat and weighs more than 2st 

Weighing more than two stone and crammed with over 40 different cuts of meat, this carnivore's dream has been dubbed the world's meatiest sandwich.

The monster meat masterpiece took attentive chef Tristan Welch over four hours to create to mark the launch of reality TV programme Man vs Food Nation on Food Network UK.

Standing at a colossal 1.2ft high and spanning 24 inches wide, it's estimated that it would take anyone hungry enough to take on the challenge over 10 hours to devour. 

The heaving sarnie contains a whopping 1.4kg of ham, 2kg of salami, turkey and bacon, 1kg of sausages, 720g of chorizo and just a sprinkling of salad.

Nick Thorogood, from the Food Network, said: 'The world's meatiest sandwich is an epic creation.

'We expect only the very brave will take on the challenge and attempt to eat it.'
