Sandwiches Around the World: 10 International Bites on a Bun

Roujimao, China
Rou jia mo, a Chinese street food from the Shanxi province, has often been compared to the hamburger or sloppy joe, but those are just sloppy comparisons. First, there’s no patty, a flatbread bun is used. Second, it looks way better than anything the cafeteria lady used to serve. The meaty filling -- usually stewed pork, beef or lamb in Muslim areas -- is spiced, chopped and mixed with peppers. Let’s see the lunch lady pull that one off.

Francesinha has two slices of bread but doesn't fall on the sandwich class, simply because one cannot eat with one's hands.

April 27 2011 at 11:26 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replycrc: I agree with serrote... Porto (and it's twin city Gaia, and some places in Maia, Matosinhos and Gondomar) are THE places to eat francesinhas period...
Anywhere else in the world is just not the same thing...
Just a recommendation: "large" francesinhas places or francesinhas in shoppings since they tend to be more commercial and loose the "touch" of the real idea and flavor.
I work in Porto and I must say that francesinhas are by far the best sandwhich ever made! In Porto everyone has an opinion about the best restaurant to eat a francesinha, however me and a group of friends have a greater goal: to find the best francesinha outside of Porto, for now we've been to 5 locations known for its francesinhas in the Aveiro district, and so far the best one was in a small pub in Furadouro (Ovar).
