2. Medianoche
Another popular sandwich you’ll find in Cuban cities like Havana is the Medianoche sandwich. Like the Cubano, it’s made with roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, but it’s served on thick egg bread instead of crusty Cuban bread. Medianoches get their name because they’re often served in Havana nightclubs around midnight, so patrons can soak up some of the alcohol in their system with a hearty snack.
