Cuban sandwich, Cuba/United States

There are multiple claims on the delicious Cuban sandwich's origins.

Originally a luxury item in Cuba, according to Andy Huse, the author of a forthcoming book on the Cuban sandwich, this Florida favorite is cause for constant debate in Miami and Tampa, where purists spar over its fundamental ingredients as well as its origin.
Whether you take yours with salami (à la Tampa) or not (à la Miami), this sandwich layered with boiled ham, roasted pork, pickles, mustard, Swiss cheese and butter and pressed between pieces of fluffy Cuban bread is a simple, hearty and most often affordable feed.
