shocked I was talkin bout one of the first on the list, which described a cuban sandwich that didn't sound anything like a cuban sandwich

Though to be fair, the "cuban sandwich" is really a Florida thing, brought over first to the Tampa area by the likes of Jose Marti and later by the those that got the boot by Castro and Che.

Today's Cuban sandwich, when eaten in Cuba, tends to be nothing more than cheese slapped between bread, though I'm sure that tourist places sell stuff more like what is eaten in FL.

I noticed down the list that there was a place in Miami proly near Little Havana that sounded more like what I am used to.


I was kind of wondering too, can't get a real cuban outside of little Havana. Luckily I have a bunch of family right around the block, ate about 5 sandwiches and drank quite a few Presidente's when I was down there in January <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I think I'm gonna rent an RV and take a few months off to test the validity of this list...


Good ones in tampa too <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />


We have a place here in Colorado Springs, "Some Like It Hot!", owned by a Puerto Rican family, that makes Cubans that rivals Pipo's in Tampa or anything from farther south.
