Best Sandwich ever: The Cuban


[ QUOTE ]

Tasty, toasted Cuban sandwiches are Miami's favorite snack. These treats can be found in most Miami restaurants, but the best places to buy them are from the street corner-snack bars, called loncherias.

The sandwiches have a submarine-style layering of ham, roast pork, cheese, and pickle between a sliced length of Cuban bread. The key to a great, versus a good, Cuban Sandwich lies in the grilling. A great Cuban sandwich is grilled in a sandwich press (called a plancha) until the ham, pork, and pickles have warmed in their own steam. Cuban restaurants use a sandwich press, but you can substitute a waffle iron. These sandwiches use no mayonnaise, lettuce, onions, bell peppers, or tomatoes; however, butter and mustard are optional. Cuban sandwiches are sold hot (pressed)

El D,

Try horseradish sauce instead of the mustard some time.

Flavorfully,

Yeah, Cuban sandwiches are [censored] yummy. I need to find me a place that makes good ones around here (NYC).

El D,

Hickory Farms has the best sweet hot mustard I've found. I'll have to take a taste of beaver to compare...

If you find a beaver that tastes like hot mustard... there's a serious problem.

Diablo,

I wholeheartedly agree with all but #3. I just don't like potato chips that much.

As you're eating the sandwich, flip it over every so often. You'll taste whichever side is on the bottom MUCH more strongly, so if you flip it over it's like a new sandwich.

For example, I have bread-mustard-roastbeef-ham-swiss-bread.

I'll start with the mustard/roastbeef side on my tongue and take a few bites. Yum, mustard and roast beef with a hint of ham and cheese. Then I flip it over and suddenly it's a ham and cheese with some roast beef and a nice hint of mustard.

Brilliant.

I use this technique on almost all asymetrical foods.
