My first taste of a Cuban Sandwich, was in Ybor City,Fl. The ones at The Silver Cafe are to die for! I had vacationed in Fl.for many years and always made a stop for a Cuban Sandwich. I now live 2,825 miles from Tampa,and missed them. So I finally made a close clone of the sandwich and can once again enjoy them, after I purchased a Panini Grill. Guess what! You do not need a grill to make this sandwich...Instructions follow. Now I can have them ANYTIME !

    The beverage I like with it is a "Shandy Gaff " The English have been making a Shandy Gaff since 1600's. The popular drink is made with 1/2 beer and 1/2 ginger ale, 7up or lemonade. I make mine with 1/2 beer, 1/2 Sprite, and a slice of lemon....see picture.
