So for today's lunch video we've gone back to our favorite bakery - La Pasta Frola - and
we've gotten some sandwiches.
But these aren't just any kind of sandwiches.
These are special.
These are Sandwiches de Miga.
And Miga is actually a word that we don't really have in the English language.
It is used to refer to the white part of the bread.
Like you know sliced bread.
The white part that is really soft.
Basically the non-crust area.
Not the crust would be Miga.
So let's open this up.
Sam ran off to the bakery for us and got four different varieties.
And there you have it.
Oh la lah.
So these sandwiches are really popular at birthday parties or family gatherings just
because they're super easy to pickup at a bakery.
You don't actually have to make them yourself.
Because you know that would be a little time consuming.
So just pop into the bakery choose a few different varieties and you're all set.
You can feed an army.
So I'm ready to dig in to this first one here.
Which one are you trying?
Well, I can see some tomato and potentially some deli meat.
So as you can see it is super thin, super light.
Kind of a fragile sandwich really.
So you want to be careful with it.
Mmmmm.
So that is really nice.
It has nice slices of tomato in there.
So that makes it really nice and juicy and refreshing.
I can also taste butter.
They've spread butter on the breach which is really nice.
And that does appear to be turkey.
So yeah nice little sandwich right here.
What is Turkey in Spanish?
Pavo.
So first up for me I'm going to try one that has tuna and cheese.
So let's take a look at that.
See if we can peel back that tuna a bit.
And then you can see the cheese on the bottom layer.
That one looks good.
Big bite.
Mmmmm.
That's good.
Those are happy noises.
Nom nom nom.
One of my favorite sandwiches is tuna and cheese sandwich so I'm not surprised that
I like this.
And I just find this bread is so light and fluffy.
You just bite into it and so yeah these are not heavy sandwiches.
These feel more like snack sandwiches to me.
Yeah, you could have like twenty of them and not be full.
Yeah, I know.
So next up I'm trying a healthy one.
This one is whole grain.
And if you have a closer look we've got spinach leaves in here.
And also, ooh, this looks like Prosciutto.
So this one is going to be good.
I'm excited.
That looks tasty.
Hmmmm.
Hmmm, mmmm mmmm.
Messy.
Okay, that's nice.
Hmmmm.
Okay.
So the whole grain bread.
It is a little bit drier than the white bread so I can tell they've put a little bit more
butter in between each of the layers.
A nice spread of butter in there.
I can see that butter.
Yeah.
Um, and also I should mention that you can also get these sandwiches toasted.
Especially the ham and cheese ones on white bread.
You'll find that at any cafe.
Like you can get that for breakfast, for your afternoon tea, you can just ask for a Tostado
de jamón y queso.
And that'll be a sandwich like this but toasted.
So yeah.
And last but not least.
So I'm trying basically the classic cheese and tomato but this time it is on the whole
grain.
Kind of like the one you tried.
And this is my first time trying the whole grain, so.
Yeah, you're right.
The bread is a little bit drier than the white.
But like as you've said with your previous sandwich they've compensated by adding a little
bit more butter.
Yeah, and then the tomato also makes it juicer too also.
Yeah, this is one of my favorite ones here.
So that was a nice little snack.
Do you want to tell us the price for that?
Yes, that definitely wasn't enough for a meal but as a snack it was great.
It came to 93 Pesos which is six US dollars.
And yeah, it was a snack where I think we're still a little hungry.
We're still hungry so I think we're going to head out for lunch.
Hahaha.
Surprise!
Off to the bodegón we go.
