British chef and restaurateur Tristan Welch has created the “World’s Meatiest Sandwich”, according to the Daily Mail.

The massive carnivore’s dream measures 25-inches high, 24-inches wide, and weighs more than 28 pounds—and is said that it would probably take 10 hours to eat. 



The monster sandwich contains 41 different kinds of meat—1,445 grams of ham; 2 kilograms of salami, turkey and bacon; 1 kilogram of sausages; and 720 grams of chorizo, according to the Daily Mail. 


Welch created the behemoth sub for the launch of TV program ‘Man v. Food Nation’ on Food Network UK, where host Adam Richman travels around the US, daring people are to take on food challenges.

Food Network’s Nick Thorogood told the Daily Mail: “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.”

“We wanted to create a sandwich that embodies the Man v. Food Nation series—that is big dishes, big flavors, and big challenges.”

Marilyn Monroe

At first glance these celebrity portraits appear to have been created from aerial photographs of dozens of people.

But a closer examination of this series, by Atlanta-based artist Craig Alan, reveals that the tiny figures were actually painted into place.

Mr Alan, 40, has created paintings of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Elvis Presley, as well as the Statue of Liberty, with his realist technique.

His painstaking efforts are well-rewarded though - a single piece from the 'Populous' series can sell for up to $50,000.

The artist says he first came up with the idea after after taking photos of the street from the sixth floor of an apartment block.

'In one shot, the group of people appeared to have formed an eye on the screen - this started my creative wheels turning.'
