π History of the Sandwichón
The Sandwichón is an evolution of the traditional cold cake or savory Swiss roll (brazo gitano salado), which has been prepared in many cultures as a practical and generous dish. In Latin America, it became popular in the 1960s–70s thanks to the availability of sandwich bread and mayonnaise, both key ingredients in its preparation.
Its preparation varies by region: in Mexico, it's typically made with ham and cream cheese mixed with mayonnaise, while in Venezuela, ingredients like tuna, chicken, or vegetables are added. It’s a recipe that adapts to all tastes and allows for many variations.
