The Po’ Boys Sandwich:

Pride of New Orleans, the story of the naming of this sandwich is a little funny. It so happened that in 1929, there was a streetcar company strike and the workers on strike were by two brothers (don’t know who) called them Po’(Poor) Boys, and well someone took a liking to the name to have it given it to a sandwich.

Anyway, traditionally the Po’ Boys Sandwich is a foot long, and has a full plate stuffing of fried shrimps or oysters, along with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and sauce. A delightful crunch it is. Excited to book cheap flight tickets to the USA, yet?

Reuben:

Whether it was in Omaha or in New York City, that this awesomely tasty sandwich recipe originated; we care too little. The point is this tasty delight that is a mix of Swiss cheese and Russian dressing over some corned beef is finger-licking good. Roasted or grilled, both the versions offer equal satisfaction. Many variants of this delicious sandwich are popular all over among which them the Rachel Sandwich, in which corned beef is replaced by pastrami, comes quite close to the original.

Juicy, savory, crackling meat in every bite, the Porchetta sandwich is a delectable offering of Italy to the entire world. Made out of slow-roasted pork (de-boned) with garlic and other seasonings stuffed between two loaves of bread, and there you have it- a sandwich that needs no condiments at all. Porchetta comes close second in being the most prized protein,  after bacon.

Chivito:

This iconic sandwich hails from Uruguay. The ingredients of this sandwich are a pack of richness and taste. Grilled sliced beef, bacon, ham, fried egg, with tomato, lettuce, mozzarella, and some optional toppings together create this tempting and very filling food. Salsa golf dip is used as a popular condiment with it, especially in the place of its origin.

Vada Pav:

Quite unlike the kind of sandwiches, we would expect, the Vada Pav or Wada Pav is a famous delicacy of Mumbai, India. This spicy street food is made from a batata vada (deep-fried potato patty)filled inside a pav (thick bread loaf). It is served with a chutney having garlic, tamarind and shredded coconut, and green chilies. The dish initially got wide acceptance among the poor class because of it being an inexpensive survival food. However, the quirky taste suited to the taste-buds of the high-end gentry too. Hence, today it is billed as the most iconic food of the commercial capital of India. All you need is a cheap flight ticket to Mumbai to taste this delicacy!

Donkey Burger:

Some might simply dismiss the idea of tasting this iconic sandwich for the choice of the meat used. However, donkey meat in China is relatively very popular. The Donkey Burger is another spicy delight, that uses slow-cooked tender meat. You’d be surprised to know that the meat is cooked for as long as 8-20 hours. It retains the softness and the delicious color. So, this sandwich is a pack of high content nutrients, having iron and calcium besides being a great protein source.
