Whether you love or hate American cuisine, you have to admit it has given us some pretty mind-blowing foods—for better or for worse. The sub, BLT, and Sloppy Joe are some of its classic sandwiches, but some pretty quirky takes on this dish also originate from America, starting with these three.
Chow Mein Sandwich
Chow Mein first started appearing on Chinese-American restaurant menus in New England during the 30s and it’s usually made with a chow mein mixture, placed inside a hamburger bun. Chow mein is a traditional Chinese dish, made from stir-fried noodles and vegetables, but it’s also possible to add meats and seafood to the mix.
Polish Boy
Polish Boy originates from Cleveland, Ohio, and the long list of its ingredients includes everything from kielbasa sausages and coleslaw to French fries and barbeque sauce. Despite being pretty quirky, Polish Boy is often referred to as one of the best American sandwiches.
Elvis Sandwich
Known as a favorite of Elvis Presley, this sandwich is made with the weirdest combo of flavors. It includes peanut butter, banana, and bacon, placed between toasted slices of bread. It’s one of many variations of peanut butter and banana sandwiches with savory ingredients.
