The Cuban sandwiches that were mentioned earlier are comfort food found in many Cuban cafe's, and markets. The "Cuban" as it is called is making a huge showing all over this country as more and more people get into the pannini press and look for ways to use it. If you like pork and ham, its a good sandwich.
What is a French meet pie?
I am learning so much in this thread.

I DONT REALLY EAT PORK ANYMORE....BUT I WOULD TRY IT AT LEAST ONCE...and i loveyee sweet taters.....they are prevalent in african cooking also... i just bake em and throw some sea salt on...done diddly..they carry themselves....
french meat pie...is basically the same filling i remember my memere making for thanksgiving. its a combination of hamburger, salt pork and i believe sausage. then add mashed potatoes and spices..throw it in a pie crust and freeze them or bake them...around here they sell for big bucks because they are labor intensive...like making golombki and pierogiy....so you make a lot of them...or go in shares with someone else who likes them and pay half the cost of the ingredients and split the yield. we used to do that all the time...and its such a comforting winter meal..serve it with a nice gravy and a veggie....done and done....
