This recipe for Irish Funeral Sandwiches popped up in my inbox. It's sort of - if an egg salad sandwich (my favorite sandwich!) met up with a club sandwich. I literally made it 10 minutes later and let me tell you it's absolutely delicious. Apparently, Irish funeral sandwiches have been a staple at wakes and funerals across Ireland to offer comfort and sustenance to mourners during a difficult time. While the specific ingredients can vary depending on regional preferences and the availability of local produce, the core elements of an Irish funeral sandwich typically include hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, lettuce, sliced ham or chicken, lettuce, and mayonnaise all chopped up.

It’s like a chopped salad served on bread! The only thing missing is the cucumbers.
