I'm lucky I had a good cuban sandwich in Atlanta a few weeks ago much of the US southeast has them around here and there they also tend to vary slightly depending on who is making them but this is the core sandwich. and man I love a good sandwich
Don't fret over details Cap Meck.....we understand you likely cannot get the exact ingredients.....you still did an amazing job! I kinda love your British spin on our dishes because of it!
That was a better looking Cuban than I have seen a quite a few restaurants! Good job! The Cubans I had down in Miami had roasted and pulled pork instead of sliced and used a spicy brown mustard. But I am sure I could have gone around the corner and found it made 4 different ways. As we come into summer you might consider summer foods. Hotdogs being one. You could easily knock out 4 or 5 different dogs in one sitting. The simple hotdog can not only be dressed multiple ways but also cooked multiple ways. Some people boil them, some grill them on a flat top grill, so grill over gas or charcoal. In a pinch you can toss one in the microwave. Each method imparts a different flavor and texture to the hotdog. Toppings also run the gambit. Ketchup, mustard, relish (dill or sweet) onions, chow chow, pickles, tomatoes, sauerkraut, chili and cheese. The list goes on and on as to what you can do with a hot dog. Heck even the buns are done different ways. Straight out of the bag, pre-sliced vs slice your own. Steamed, toasted on the grill, toasted with butter etc.
Thanks Ken. Yes, I saw a few recipes with pulled pork. I bet that's better than the sliced. Hotdogs is a great idea. I could do a mega hotdog video with all the types!
I've had Cubano sandwiches before. And considering that you can't get things like the pork in the traditional way, I think that you did a bang up job. When you try an authentic one it will get higher on the list.
Absolutely, Reuben should be next. Not sure if Meck can get corned beef where he lives tho, or even American style sauerkraut, which is different than the German one.
All you need to do to mimic the roast pork (typically shredded) would be to add some lime juice, orange juice, some chicken stock, oregano, cilantro (coriander) and cumin to a saute pan and add your store bought pork. It will give you the light citrus and herbaceous undertones plus keep the meat moist during heating. This actually looked the part though.
I love the effort you put into these and also how you have such an open mind about the different foods you're trying. If there was an American doing something similar with British foods, what would you want them to try first?
Thanks so much for your kind words! Great question about UK food. I find it quite hard to define British food as (like you guys) we have lots of influences like Spanish, Italian, Indian and French. A Sunday roast dinner is a classic, as is a good curry. Jamie Oliver has an amazing recipe for curried roast chicken which is the best of both worlds. Fish and chips on the beach is another classic but hard to replicate in your home. Failing that, marmite on toast with a cup of tea 👌🏻
@@captainmeck2752 Curried roast chicken sounds really good! I like fish and chips but have no idea how they compare to the real stuff. I'm scared of trying marmite, I hear it's quite the acquired taste!
Marmite is one of those things that UK kids grow up on so don't think anything of it. I can see why you'd be worried about it. Even though I love it, there's no guarantee I would if I tried it as an adult having never had it as a kid.
@@captainmeck2752 I had a boss years ago from England and he liked to get people to try marmite. I smelled it first and it smelled great, which only made it more of a shock when I tried it and it was terrible. I really want to like marmite.
Yeah, I can totally see why people would hate it. I love marmite, bovril and vegemite. All of them. But when you even try to explain it, it sounds horrible.
May I suggest you try a Monte Cristo in a future episode? It's a ham and swiss (gruyere) sandwich that's dipped in beaten egg and pan fried (like french toast / eggy bread) and served with something sweet like jam or maple syrup to dip into. Just like the comments on meatloaf, it's not really something we eat much anymore but still undeniably American.
For not having all the correct ingredients it looked like it still turned out very good, and I'd say close enough. I don't know if you'll try it or some other pressed sandwich again, but if you get the second pan really hot in the oven, then you can get both sides cooked. Having the whole sandwich nice and hot can take it from good to great.
I lived in Tampa for 14 years and have had a few hundred Cuban sandwiches. They are great! Just about the only thing I miss about Florida. Yours looked pretty good for what you had to work with but I hope you get try one in Tampa some day just so you can taste the difference.
Hi Meck , Tampa Native here . Your ONLY real miss here is the pre - mentioned bread . What you made is most similar to the Cubans sister sandwich , in Tampa this is a Medianoche Sandwich . Good job , I can tell you that Cuban Grandma's Pork is seasoned her own way . Some change the Mojo , some use more Garlic , I've even had it stuffed with Hard Cuban Chorizo ( like a Boliche) . The culture around this simple sandwich runs deep . You could eat Cuban Sandwiches , or variations of it 3 times a dat for a week , and each one different .
I think the tricky thing with the Cubano is that the bread is a really important part of it, and it’s almost impossible to get that bread outside of Tampa and South Florida. It has a lot more crispy, but delicate top than that sort of French roll you used. Yours looked about as close as you’re gonna get in the UK, though. Probably my favorite sandwich.
@@captainmeck2752 I’m sure yours tasted very close! It’s mainly the texture of the crust after it’s been pressed that is different. It’s less chewy and glutinous than French bread, and more super crispy on the outside but tender/soft just underneath. I live only a few hundred miles away in North Carolina and I can’t get even a close approximation of that Cuban bread here, either, so I think you’ve done quite well!
I don't eat pork, so my homemade version of a Cubano is with roast turkey and chicken deli meat. Droolingly delicious. One note on your improvised panini press: take the cast iron skillet that you use to press the top and put it in a hot oven prior to putting it on top.
@@captainmeck2752 when you make the gravy for the chicken fried steak don't use all milk 🥛 in the cooking process instead use 1/2 milk or cream and 1/2 chicken stock. It makes the gravy better ☺
Your reaction was worth the wait! You did well on the Cuban Sandwich. I lived near Tampa for many years and ate a lot of these. The mojo pork is significant but I'm sure the herbed pork was a fine substitute. Mojo pork is citrus and garlic forward flavor. It's not difficult to make the marinade so you might try that using a slow cooker sometime. I'm glad you are doing better.
Easy pickles here: slice an English/Lebanese/Continental (whatevah you call 'em in your neck of the woods) into long thing slices with a mandolin. Shove 'em into a pint jar, hopefully clean. Boil one-half cup of water and one-half cup of white vinegar. Add two tablespoons of sugar. Pour over pickle slices. Lid it up and put in fridge. Easy peasy! If you insist on dill, you can add dill - or garlic or....
I live in the Tampa Bay area and a traditional Cubano is my favorite sandwiches. There are good and bad ones out there, my fav is a place called La Teresita...only thing your missing is a nice Cafe con Leche to drink...
Key lime pie would be a fun thing to try since that's a pretty uniquely American dessert. I've seen some recipes online that indicate using other kinds of limes would work fine. Apparently Key limes are more tart than regular limes. You might need to adjust it like add some lemon juice. Though I've heard you could probably buy Key Lime extract if you really wanted to go more authentic.
My brit friend tells me dill isn't very popular over there. Is that true? My mum always added dried dill spice to our grilled cheese sandwiches (cheese toasties). It's divine!
@@captainmeck2752 Granted not everyone here is adding dill to everything, but peeps like dill pickles and ranch dressing has dill in it, so I wouldn't say it's uncommon.
I am from Florida and love the Miami cuban version (even though I live near Tampa) and it looks like you did very good! When I press them at home I wrap them in foil first so they stay together. The only variation that I have had and hated was when people try to get fancy and use sweet pickles - it's an abomination.
need to make some fried plantains to go with that lol should try them at some point you either love them or hate them I recommend them sweet first if you like that maybe try them in a more savory dish.
It did not originate in cafés. It was an easy, portable lunch that cigar workers in Tampa could bring to work and safely store without refrigeration. That is why there is no mayonnaise, or any other ingredient that will go bad in the heat. A Cuban sandwich consists of lechon (roast pork with mojo marinade), traditional ham, salami, pickles and mustard. It should be pressed. A media noche is even better. But without lechon, it just isn’t the same.
It looks good! Now I'm hungry and there's 3 hours til lunch 😂 Ingredients are always just do the best you can. 9 times out of 10, it's going to be just fine
I'm surprised Fluffernutter is as high on your list as it is. With the exception of Sloppy Joe, I would definitely rank the rest above it. But I'm also allergic to peanut butter, sooo....
We all do the best we can. Restaurants may be able to get all the right ingredients, but most people who make things at home just make do with what they can find. Of course, I know there are going to be people who bitch at you if you don't use the EXACT ingredients they use in their personal recipe, but reasonable people will think you did fine. As for the Cuban sandwich, they're too hard to make for me. A person might make one once in a blue moon. But if I'm going to make a sandwich at home, I want something easy. If I'm going to have to go through a long process to make something, then I'm not going to make a sandwich. That's one reason I like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches -- they are SUPER easy to make. But tastes vary. And I understand that you can't make a CZcams channel out of making PBJs over and over again.
I remember watching something on TV about a PB&J food truck so I looked up some of the options at some actual PB&J restaurants and they're just amazing. The savory ones sound great with stuff like curried cashew butter with spicy mango chutney or toasted pine nut butter with basil cherry tomato jam. But the sweet ones are just as hard to choose from. Stuff like espresso peanut butter with dark chocolate raspberry jam or salted pecan butter with apple jam. My mind is blown.
I'm not the biggest fan of Cuban sandwiches, even though I live in Florida. It is cool you could appreciate yours.⬅ One thing you might consider to make your scoreboard a little more unique is show the top 10 and bottom 5. The stuff that doesn't make either list would be the "meh" stuff not worth further thought.
There is no lettuce or tomato on a Cuban sandwich. I like to eat mine unpressed. I don’t like having my sandwich squished. Fresh Cuban bread is great but if it gets to sitting too long it will start to harden up on ya. And as always I like to drink my sweet tea with it.
lettuce and tomato doesnt do well in a hot sandwich. it wilts/becomes soggy. mcdonalds at one point used to actually seperate the lettuce and tomato so you could add it on yourself and keep the lettuce/tomato crisp and fresh.
So what is a Cuban sandwich??? DIll pickles? That's only a Cuban thing? Roasted Pork?? That's only Cuban? Swiss cheese is Cuban?? Isn't that Swiss? Then Panini press the bread? That's only a Cuban thing? Thought that was Italian. What's a Cuban Sandwich anyway?
Logic would say it is Cuban rather than a US sandwich. Sorta like that but logic fails here many times. Made by Cuban populations in Florida, it is truly 'American'. I have never had one but my understanding is the guidelines are 'loosy-goosy' on this one and nothing is authentic. ASMR!! LOL!! Curling my toenails here!!
Mrs Meck loved them and wants them again. The ones I made actually weren't too spicy but the kids didn't try them so I want to make them again for them. Basically, family favourite means: we liked, will make again. 👍🏻
@@captainmeck2752 Try parmesean garlic or bbq wings for non-spicy options. im sure you realized the sauce comes after the hard part of makign wings, so you can easily just set some aside to toss with a different sauce.
I don't know that I've ever had an "authentic" Cuban sandwich, but even a bad Cubano is still a pretty good sandwich. Yours looks mighty tasty.
Ah thanks Cullen.
I made a bad Cuban sandwich one time. I have to disagree, my bad Cuban sandwich is bad

Some of the more delinquent of us have a hotdog toaster lol. 2 dogs cooked and 2 buns warmed up at the same time.
yeah the place I usually get them has pulled pork and ham slices but every place does it a bit different and thats not a bad thing.
