Sandwiches are the perfect travel food, aren’t they?
Portable, delicious, and usually brimming with typical ingredients from their places of origin, a sandwich can tell you a lot about the culture of a destination.
Here are four sandwiches from around the world that any traveler must try.
Francesinha (Portugal)
This insane Portuguese sandwich is packed chock-full with cured ham, two types of Portuguese sausages, steak, and other roast meats. It’s then covered with a tomato and beer sauce, melted cheese, and a fried egg. It’s not for the faint of heart!
Lobster Roll (New England, USA)
Lobster is commonly fished in the Atlantic waters off of the coast of New England, and you can try this lobster sandwich in states like Maine and Massachusetts. It’s light and delicious, and mayonnaise ends up combining perfectly with the crustacean’s meat.
Banh Mi (Vietnam)
Banh mi has become fairly popular throughout the world, but if you want to try the real thing, you’ve gotta go to Vietnam. Filled with any type of ingredients that you can imagine, it’s a must-try.
Mitraillette (Belgium)
Looking for a sandwich that you can try after a night on the town? This Belgian creation has the power to soak up whatever drinks you might’ve consumed. It contains french fries, fried meat, and a savory garlic sauce. It’s intense, but delicious.
