Welcome to JayPo’s Penalty Boxed Lunch where we explore food from around the country! This week’s first official entry comes to us from Florida via Cuba in the form of the Cuban or Cubano sandwich.
Food History!
Where does the Cuban sandwich come from? Legend (Wikipedia) will tell you that immigrants from Cuba brought this delicacy to Florida (specifically the Keys) to which is spread across the state in Cuban communities in Miami and Tampa. The ingredients (that can be agreed on) include: mojo pork, ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles and yellow mustard on a cuban roll.
