The standard Cuban sandwich consists of ham and roast pork (marinated in mojo sauce), mayonnaise(not included in the original ), mustard, dill pickles, and swiss cheese on Cuban bread: which is a light French bread ,(in Tampa, it is common to find Genoa salami on a Cuban sandwich). The sandwich is buttered and pressed on a sandwich press (plancha) melting the cheese and toasting the bread. A medianoche sandwich is the same except it is on a sweeter and lighter egg bread.
