Cuban sandwich

The Cuban sandwich, also known as the "cubano" is a popular meal in south Florida where many Cubans have settled since the early 20th century. The standard Cuban sandwich consists of ham and roast pork (marinated in mojo sauce), mayonnaise(not included in the original ), mustard, dill pickles, and swiss cheese on Cuban bread: which is a light French bread ,(in Tampa, it is common to find Genoa salami on a Cuban sandwich). The sandwich is buttered and pressed on a sandwich press (plancha) melting the cheese and and toasting the bread. A medianoche sandwich is the same except it is on a sweeter and lighter egg bread.
