Sandwich Olimpico
A sandwich the size of Mount Olympus? Yes. Yes it is. Sandwich Olimpico is a popular triple decker sandwich found all over Uruguay in markets, bars, and restaurants. This beast of a sandwich contains ham, cheese, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomato, hard boiled eggs, on 4 mayo lathered slices of bread. It is then gently pressed to make it possible to fit a bite of everything in your mouth because it is literally 4”-5” high. You honestly won’t need any side with this sandwich. It is that filling.
