"JIBARITO" SANDWICH

   Here I am, in Panama, reading about a Spanish sandwich from Chicago in the Sunday NEW YORK TIMES.
   For that special "sandwich person" out there, in case she missed it.

Latin Accents Heat Up Chicago's Dining Scene
By DENNIS RAY WHEATON

Published: February 15, 2004

A HUGE immigrant population of Hispanics from all over Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean thrives in Chicago. Like deep-dish pizza and the blues from other worlds, Latino food and music are part of the city's soul.

The Winds Cafe

Just as Chicago's Italians invented deep-dish pizza, Puerto Rican immigrants invented the jibarito (little bumpkin) sandwich. Instead of bread, jibarito sandwiches are made with chewy slabs of fried plantains topped with garlic.

I like the ones cooked on the open griddle next to the bar in the Winds Cafe, a welcoming spot in Logan Square, a few blocks off the Kennedy Expressway connecting O'Hare Airport and downtown. At this combination neighborhood tavern and back-room restaurant with a half-dozen plastic-covered tables, jibaritos are typically filled with thin-sliced steak, but you can also get the sandwiches with jerk or honey-lime chicken or even a vegetarian patty. All come with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and optional cheese and a side of crispy plantain chips or French fries.

SANCOCHO

   I previously discussed "sancocho."  As I've said, OED is 100 years off.  Miserable.
   That free Panama publication I cited from talked about a "sancocho" of people.  Is this the same as a "melting pot"?
