4 ethnic sandwiches that aren’t actually ethnic

As a citizen of, perhaps, the most well-known country in the world, I take great pride in the various foods that can be enjoyed in the United States. From southern barbecue and soul food, to Asian, Hispanic and Italian cuisines, right down to some good ole’ sandwiches, there’s no shortage of fantastic and diverse food that’s made its way from other countries over to America. Quite frankly, it’s what makes our country the true melting pot of the world, especially when it comes to food.

With that said, there are a handful of foods in which the origins is either unknown or debated. The Burrito, for example, is believed by some to have come from Mexico, while others claim it was most certainly created in Texas, but the debate goes on.

Then, of course, there are items such as fortune cookies, egg rolls, the Stromboli, the pizza puff and countless other foods that seem to be ethnic, but actually aren’t.

I’ve gathered a couple of my absolute favorite sandwiches that are widely believed to come from their ethic country, but were actually created right in here the USA.

Some of these items I’ve had the privilege to enjoy on multiple occasions, while others I have had once or twice. Either way, it’s my duty to not only inform you, but also to point you in the right direction if you ever find yourself in the town of origin and want to try one of these delicious sandwiches for yourself.
