Jambons are square pastries filled with cheese and chunks of ham. They are a deli item popular in Ireland. The product emerged during the 1990s as part of a broader movement towards "food to go". The multinational bakery company Délifrance says that it adapted and launched the jambon as a new product in the Irish market in 1997.
