First question of the day - how many Sam's can you see in this shot?
We've got lots of reflections happening around here.
Anyways, for today's video we are filming Sandwiches Triples which are triple sandwiches.
I guess these are going to have three layers of bread and we're eating at one of our favorite
eateries in all of Lima.
This place is called Manolo and they specialize in Churros but they also have these humongous
sandwiches so we're back here again.
So Sam, can you count how many times we've been here already?
I have no idea.
I mean the first time we came to Lima last year I think this was the first restaurant
we ever went to together.
Yeah.
So that is kind of special and we've had everything from sandwiches to lasagna to these giant
pieces of lemon meringue pie and we've also had churros here as well.
So we're going for the sandwiches right now.
So first impressions, our food has arrived, and I asked our waiter is this sandwich big
enough to share between two people?
And he was like oh no this is small it is a personal size.
Have a look at this.
Are you kidding me?
Personal size.
That is massive.
And that is not even the biggest one.
The biggest one is the other one with chicken.
Is the one you're having.
And the other thing I'm noticing is that this only has two layers of bread.
So I'm a bit confused because I assumed if it is called Triple it would have three layers
of bread but apparently not.
So, now we don't even know what a triple sandwich means.
Maybe it is three ingredients.
Who knows.
But this one is mine.
It as avocado, ham and tomato.
So let's dig in.
I think it may be the case that the filling, like there is so many toppings and fillings
put into this sandwich that there is just no room for an extra layer of bread.
Exactly.
That is a big mouthful right there.
I'm dropping it all over me.
But yeah, that is nice.
I'm going to grab my napkin and dab dab because I can feel I have mayo all over my face.
But yeah, that is good.
It's a nice thick slice of fluffy white bread and I like that the slices of avocado and
tomato are really thick.
So now it is your turn Sam.
Tell us what is in your sandwich?
Yes, mine is very similar to yours except for that fact that it has generous amount
of chicken stuffed inside.
So let's not delay.
I'm just going to bite right in.
So that is shredded chicken, avocado and tomato.
Wow.
They really make some of the best sandwiches here at Manolo.
It just never disappoints.
This is just amazing.
There is so much avocado and so much chicken and just the bread is so fluffy.
It is just amazing.
And you know what else?
They gave us aji.
This spicy yellow sauce.
So I think you should add some to your sandwich.
Let's do it here.
Let's do it.
Let's put some spice.
Oh wow that is a lot of spice.
That is a massive amount.
Good luck with that.
Your mouth is going to be on fire.
Woah.
That was way too much.
Too hot to handle.
Oh, I'm suffering here.
So I have barely finished my first piece and Sam is already done his.
Or just about.
Yeah, pretty much.
And what makes this sandwich really unique is that it doesn't have crust.
It is similar to the sandwich de miga that we were eating in Argentina as well.
And that is really cool because you're just eating the white part of the bread.
And you can tell that they make the bread homemade here.
Like it is really good quality.
Except that I have to say these are way thicker than what you find in Argentina.
Oh, the sandwiches there are super thin and light.
These are proper sandwiches.
This is a proper meal.
Yeah.
So I had to pack up half my sandwich in order to make room for dessert.
But the good news is that now we can have churros.
So have a look over here.
These are the regular churros.
So it is basically this long strip of deep-fried dough with a little bit of sugar on top.
And we also have these special ones which are filled with manjar blanco which is quite
similar to dulce de leche.
And that is not all.
We also got hot chocolate so thick that Sam just calls it sauce.
This is chocolate sauce.
It is not even hot chocolate.
I call it chocolate sludge.
Sludge.
Chocolate sludge.
But look at how thick it is.
It is so rich.
Oh let's dig in.
Alright, show us what we came for.
So we're going to start off with just a regular churros here because it is perfect for dunking
in the chocolate sauce.
And I don't just dunk it.
I drown mine in there.
Look at that.
He drowns it.
He drowns it in chocolate.
I drown it in chocolate.
Look at how much chocolate there is.
Look at that.
Woah, it is so hot too.
This is what we came for.
Oh yeah.
And what really makes it is the chocolate.
The hot chocolate.
It is so thick and so rich and creamy.
So you are going for the premium one.
Oh yeah.
Look at that.
With the manjar blanco.
Dipped in chocolate.
Seriously.
Does it get anymore decadent than that?
I don't think so.
You've got so much chocolate covering it that you can't even see the manjar blanco.
Mmmmmm.
That combination is just spectacular.
And this is fresh out of the fryer.
Seriously, the filling is ooey and gooey and then you've got the chocolate and the sugar
sprinkled all over.
I just love this.
I really do.
Oh oh oh.
Mmmmm.
I wish I could get this for breakfast every single day of my life.
But I probably wouldn't be very good for my health.
You know Sam you haven't noticed but I'm eating this very quickly so you better get yours
fast.
So this is the fun part for you Sam isn't it?
Yes.
The churros are long gone but they are still a little bit of that amazing chocolate sludge
left.
There is no way I'm going to leave this place with any of that left.
Let's not waste chocolate now.
It is like the best hot chocolate you've ever had.
And then some.
Alright, time to do the math.
What is the price point for this meal?
So it came to 80 Soles and so that is basically just over 20 US dollars.
But it is amazing value when you consider it.
Gracias.
It is amazing value when you consider that we had two massive sandwiches, a drink, two
different kinds of churros and a hot chocolate.
So we are leaving here very full.
Want to show us your belly?
Hahaha.
Ciao.
