On Cuban bread, bake pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, traditional Cuban bread features different interpretations. Although the Cubano traditionally consisted of ham, roast pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, restaurant and home cooks serve up different versions. Although the sandwich alone may be a hearty dish, this globe-trotting sandwich pairs with some delectable sides. A creamy, dunkable soup makes the perfect complement to any grilled sandwich... Consider making this delectable Smoky Roasted Corn Soup... Served sweet potato fries are another popular side dish.

The sandwich brings together taste and history, as well as geography and history. The sandwich features a world tour of simple ingredients, combining cues from Cuban, German, and Italian immigrants. This is the day to try it if you've never had one.
