One of my favorite sandwiches is a Cuban. Basically it's ham, smoked pork, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on Cuban bread that is then pressed. It's the best, most delicious sandwich ever.
This is a Cuban:
Onto the confession part.
A few years back my mother was getting us subs at Publix and asked my sister what to get for me. My sister knew that I loved Cubans so told my mom to get that. My mother, not knowing what was on a Cuban, trusted my sister's list of ingredients.
This list, unfortunately, was incorrect. And I keep forgetting to inform my mother of this. So, to this day, she orders me a 'Cuban' from Publix that is made with mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. No pickles, no mustard (because I don't generally like mustard - only in special situations) and not pressed.
Basically a ham and cheese sandwich.
And at this point it's gone on too long for me to tell her the truth.
God only knows what the people at the deli think.
Awww. Cute post. I've never had a Cuban...well, your maybe your mom's version, but not yours. ;)
