Here’s a recipe that I copied a few weeks ago (my wife got me the Binging with Babish cookbook for Christmas). This one was motherf**king incredible! I’ll have to try to make the one you posted too and compare!

Man, I love those things! There is a great Cuban restaurant on the way home from work, I will call in a to-go order sometimes. They bake their own bread, too! :slight_smile:

Looks like your share is more involved and excellent and my share is pretty good with less work. Lol

There is a place in the Tampa airport that has a pork mojo sandwich that is absolutely fantastic. Ive ruined a few shirts eating them in the airplane.

One of my favorite sandwiches.

Cuban sandwiches are yummy.

If you guys have not try it, go find a real Vietnamese “Banh Mi”.

That looks intriguing! Though I would have them hold the cilantro (I can’t stand that stuff).

Heard a news story on cilantro and how different people register tastes. I get a bit of the cilantro = dish soap taste, but apparently not as bad as some do.

As they are usually made to order, the cylantro and/or sliced chili pepper can be left out. I usually skip the chili.

It’s extremely strong for me, to point that if I get a bit of it in my mouth I will almost involuntarily spit it out immediately. Cilantro is odd, because I guess genetics play a part in the taste. Nobody in my family can stand it, but my wife absolutely loves it, as does her mother. My father-in-law and brother-in-law, however, also taste dish soap. So I guess the cilantro gene comes from my mother-in-law’s side of the family.

I’ve never had a Cuban sandwich, but they’ve always intrigued me. I’ll have to give it a go.

There is a great place down the street from where I work. I usually go grab a dozen of them for the minions, if we are trapped in the war-room working on a problem.

Great stuff!

Dude !!! that’s mighty nice of you. Their secret mayo/butter concoction is something else. Some place drizzle some Maggi sauce on them, that’s another taste bomb.

You had me at “Maggi sauce.” <drool>

If I go to Kroger today I will look for Maggi sauce. That bottle/label looks familiar so may be in their international section which so far doesn’t include Vegemite/Marmite/generic.

Basically, Maggi is a European version of the soy sauce. Not as salty and just one tiny bit sweeter, according to my taste buds.

I think they may have been outsourced.

Stuff is good though. Tried it on roast chicken and agree with the bit of sweet taste.

Just noticed the Euro version made in Germany. Will have to find it.

There’s a little German shop near McChord AFB; next time I have business on that side of Concrete Jungle Hell I’ll have to see if they have the German or Chinese version. I know they pay extra to get the German-made Haribo gummies rather than the Turkish(?; IIRC) production that’s usual for the US market…

Julius Maggi of Switzerland started the sauce in 1884.

It’s made all over the world now.

To me, Maggi is a good sauce for dipping and drizzle on COOKED dishes.

Soy sauce (the Asian kind) are better for flavoring the dishes during the cooking process.

Again, that’s my taste.
