Thoughts on the Cuban Sandwich?
tasty, but nothing exceptional.
One of the top tier best sandwiches.
I wish more places made them. It's hard to find a good one around here.

What's stopping you from making them yourself?
>>7417572
One of the best hot sandwiches out there if made well.
>>7417572
Never had one. What's in it?
>>7417591
Pretty easy to make, just get some panini weights, and find some french bread.

Ham, Swiss, garlic roast pork, pickle is the basic structure. Then people will argue about garlic mayo or mustard, whether the bread should be manteca bread or French and whether salami is an acceptable addition.

>manteca bread or French
Cuban bread you pleb
>>7417627
>Cuban bread
Hard to come by and shared equally amongst all the sandwiches?
>>7417608
special bread, special mustard, pulled pork isn't easy for just a sandwich
I'm talking about really good, proper cuban sandwiches. Not some cheap knockoff with every day ingredients.
too heavy; overrated
>>7417572
delicious but it needs more veg, a couple pickles isnt enough
>>7417572
Awesome, if you go to or come to Miami a Cubano is something to get. You wont find a better Cubano anywhere else.
Done right, it's top 5. Tough to find the right bread and lechon (pork) outside of Miami or NY.
If do right, no can defense.
Without hyperbole, I can say it's my favorite sandwich (next to the po boy)
>>7417572
It's a good sandwich
>>7417572
glorified panini, one of the most overrated sandwiches in history. Hipster joints are charging $10 for this shit now

It's a torta you piece of shit

Never understood what made this so special. there's nothing to them. Of sandwiches, it's among the simplest. The only thing that makes it any good is the whole panini effect.
I rate a Reuben or a Banh mi above a Cuban any day.
For a exceptional miami treat, I would rather have the elena ruz or medionoche sandwhich
quick ,someone post that stick figure comic chili recipe that triggers everyone

What kind of sandwich is this friend?
salami + ham + cuban roast pork + mustard + pickles + swiss cheese + cuban fucking bread
anything less or more and it isn't a cuban
>>7420018
Medianoche's bread is what makes them incredible.
It's shit.
>>7417572
ham is gross. Maybe use something less salty, and a fruit side, like asian pear, or mango.
10/10, grew up on them
>>7417572
made myself some
was fucking awesome
good mustard is crucial
not sure i'll make more anytime soon, the whole marinading and oven-roasting and shit is pretty fucking involved, for a sandwich
>>7421728
>salami
>anything less or more and it isn't a cuban
salami doesn't really belong on a cuban sandwich, that's an italian influence
>>7421849
I usually use leftover roast pork instead of just making it specifically for a sandwich.
>>7417572
here in the south we call it the marco rubian sandwich.

beep beep coming through
Contrary to popular belief the Cuban was created in Tampa, not Miami. Specifically, it was created in Ybor City. In the early 20th century the Cuban was born of the need for lower, lower-middle class cubans working in the area for a fast and portable lunch. Thus the cuban was born. The traditional cuban includes ham, roast pork, yellow musard, pickles, and swiss cheese all on cuban bread which is pressed and toasted. However, the cubans in ybor city also worked alongside a great deal of italians and that is why you will see salami as a common addition to cuban sandwiches. Both versions are considered "traditional" as the origin of both versions are closely linked in time. The addition of any additional ingredients is often seen as controversial and purists argue ruins the integrity of the original sandwich. The Cuban was exported to Miami via the cuban population but, too this day, is still considered largely too be a florida only regional cuisine.

Tortas are mexican you fucking donkey
>britfag
>local market has a regular cuban sandwich stall run by two cuban brothers
It's the only cuban sandwich I've ever had so I've got no frame of reference for quality, but goddamn they're amazing.
I can never decide if I should say yes to hot sauce or not, though. Hot sauce is good, but you don't want to risk ruining a sandwich that was perfectly fine without it.
>>7417624
The local place by me uses jalapeños, it's a good addition
I am very disappointed with it. Sounds delicious when hearing ingredients, they're just very bland when almost everytime.
I did have luck by ordering similar sammiches and replacing the pork with something else like bbq or gabagool. The pork usually accounts for most of the bland dryness.
Try asking google.
Next question!
Man I'm so hungry. I need to find a job so until then I have to eat twice a day and cheap as I can. Been eating rice and potatoes for a while now.
>>7424909
So it was started by Cubans?
>>7417618
>panini weights
just get some bricks and spray them
>>7424909
Yeah, but with american/european breads. The posts I was replying to explicitly called for cuban bread, which isn't really a thing.
>>7424909
>it was started in florida by people who had fled the country.
>Cuba libre originates from Murican involvement in Spanish Murican War.
So basically without America's involvement these native people's best contribution to food would have been something along the lines of beans and rice?
dat American exceptionalism is at work again
>>7420814
I dunno ask the faggots in the Latin American thread cuz apparently being from a Latin American country doesn't make me qualified for shit
>>7417572
DO YOU NOT?
