Sanduiche de mortadela · São Paulo

Bar do Mane's mortadella sandwich in Sao Paulo's Mercado Municipal piles about 350g of sliced mortadella on pao frances, a market symbol since the 1970s.

Bar do Mane began as Bar do Jeremias, opened inside the Mercado Municipal, which opened in 1933, by Portuguese cousins and bakers Jeremias and Alberto Cardoso Loureiro. The mortadella sandwich was then a price-controlled item with a thin filling; when one regular kept asking for more, the staff played along and piled it high, and Jeremias's son Mane, who inherited the bar in the late 1970s and gave it his name, put the oversized version on the menu. O Estado de S. Paulo reported on it in July 1979. Today's sandwich uses about 350g of Ceratti mortadella on a pao frances, sliced in front of the customer.
