Senegalese Pain Ndambe
Black-eyed peas have a nutty flavor that, combined with the cooked onions sweetness, extra umami from the seasoning cubes and tomato paste, and the slight kick of habanero spice, give the bean spread more than enough flavor.

Mexican Mulitas
It’s hard to beat juicy steak, melted Oaxacan cheese, sweet and spicy onions and peppers, and a tart, rich, pungent guacamole topped with a hot homemade salsa, regardless of the quality of the tortillas.
Dutch-Surinamese Broodje Moksi Meti
I got serious bánh mì vibes from this sandwich. The savory/sweet mixture of meats and slightly sweet pickles pointed in that direction. A good quality demibagutte would have helped; cilantro and hot peppers would have sealed the deal.

Chicago Sandwich Canon: Maxwell Street
The sausage is hot, HOT, and the crisp casing snaps and bursts as you bite into it. It’s salty, fatty, garlicky, smoky, pungent with mustard, sweet and aromatic with cooked onion, with a spicy-sour kick from the hot peppers.

Outtasight Ottoman Flatbread: Lahmacun
The savory meat and vegetable mixture, aromatic and pungent, spicy with paprika and cumin and dried chilies, glues itself to the flatbread as it bakes, remaining moist yet adhering itself to the surface.
Yet Another Donut Sandwich: Finland’s Kuuma Koira
I was right to go with the good quality franks–that snap made this sandwich, and the beef flavor was an excellent foil for the donut bun, the sweet heat of the mustard, the sour crunch of the pickle relish
