The Cubans my wife made. They were the best example I have ever had.
- Instant pot citrus pork shoulder. I don't know how but it was the most citrussy pork I've ever had
- grocery store smoked honey ham
- some kind of cheese. Provolone?
- good chunky mustard
- Ciabatta roll
- grilled and smashed flat on a hot cast iron with lots of butter
I could Se7en Gluttony kill myself on these if the supply was available.
Cuban sandwiches are the perfect example of something that invokes a feeling of "it CAN'T be that Earth-shatteringly good," when you first hear about it. In all innocence, you're like "it's just a pork sandwich, right? How can it be this big of a deal to people?"
But then you have a well-made one, and you want to build a time-machine, just so you can go back in time and slap yourself in the fucking face for thinking that dumb shit. Because they're absolutely the best sandwich, and you WILL fight anyone who says different.
Came in here specifically to say a Cuban and it's the first thing I see already mentioned.
Those things are so damn good.
I want to hear more about this citrussy.
Jokes aside sounds amazing. Cubans are really good. My wife makes them as eggrolls.
