Sweet-bread cousin of the cubano: roast pork, sweet ham, Swiss, mustard and pickles pressed inside a soft yellow egg-bread roll until the bread crackles. Eaten at midnight.
Media noche (Spanish for midnight) emerged in 1950s Havana cabaret culture as the post-show snack for dancers and patrons of the Tropicana. Miami's Cuban exile community brought the format with them after 1959; Versailles in Little Havana and La Carreta serve it 24 hours a day. The difference from the cubano is the bread: media noche uses a sweet yellow egg bread (similar to brioche), while the cubano uses Cuban bread. Same fillings, very different texture; the sweet bread crackles harder under the press.
