We trace the five sandwiches that cultures around the world rally to as icons—banh mi, jambon beurre, croque monsieur, cubano, and prego—and unpack how bread, fillings, and technique carry history and identity across borders. From the crackly rice-flour baguette to the pressed, sun-warmed crust, these choices reveal how fusion, tradition, and texture shape culture. We also meet boundary-breakers like cemita poblana and torta ahogada, showing how culinary innovation travels and endures. A data-informed journey into why these humble sandwiches resonate so deeply.
