Thank you so much for bringing me back home to where this journey first began. I started my career as a Steelhawk and I'd love to end my career in Hamilton, hopefully with another trophy or two.

Dear @SouthPaw, per our earlier discussion I've decided to write out my thoughts about why I believe a Cuban sandwich should have, nay, deserves to have salami. (PS, thanks for/congrats on winning the cup this season.)

The Cuban Sandwich: A Flavorful Fusion of Cultures

Introduction:
The Cuban sandwich, known for its delectable combination of roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard pressed between Cuban bread, has become an iconic culinary delight. Although the traditional ingredients are indeed mouthwatering, the addition of salami presents a captivating twist, elevating the Cuban sandwich to new heights. This essay explores why the inclusion of salami enriches the Cuban sandwich, blending diverse flavors and histories into a delightful and harmonious culinary fusion.

Historical Crossroads:
The origins of the Cuban sandwich can be traced back to the early 20th century, emerging in Florida and later making its way to the diverse streets of Miami and Tampa. These regions became a cultural melting pot, attracting immigrants from various backgrounds, including Cuba, Spain, and Italy. As such, the Cuban sandwich embodies a confluence of different culinary traditions, and the inclusion of salami further emphasizes this rich cultural exchange.

The Mediterranean Influence:
The introduction of salami into the Cuban sandwich celebrates the Mediterranean influence on Cuban cuisine. Salami, with its savory, slightly spicy notes, represents an Italian contribution to the fusion. As Italians migrated to Cuba in the early 20th century, they brought with them their culinary expertise, including their beloved cured meats like salami. The integration of salami into the Cuban sandwich showcases how food can transcend borders and serve as a bridge between cultures.

Enhancing Flavor and Texture:
The addition of salami introduces a distinct layer of complexity to the Cuban sandwich. Its bold and robust flavors harmonize with the tender roasted pork and ham, creating a symphony of taste in every bite. Moreover, the salami's firm texture contrasts delightfully with the soft, freshly baked Cuban bread, offering a pleasant play of textures that further elevates the sandwich's overall enjoyment.

Cultural Appreciation:
Incorporating salami into the Cuban sandwich exemplifies a spirit of cultural appreciation and openness. It demonstrates how culinary traditions can be enriched when diverse cultures embrace and share their unique ingredients and flavors. By embracing the inclusion of salami in the Cuban sandwich, we acknowledge and celebrate the culinary contributions of various communities, fostering a more inclusive and accepting world.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Cuban sandwich is a testament to the power of cultural fusion and culinary creativity. By adding salami, we celebrate the vibrant history of the Cuban sandwich and the diverse influences that have shaped it over the years. This flavorful addition enhances the traditional ingredients, bringing new dimensions of taste and texture to the beloved sandwich. The Cuban sandwich with salami exemplifies the beauty of cultural exchange and reminds us that through the appreciation of each other's traditions, we can create truly exceptional culinary masterpieces.

Dear hotdog,
you are the only SHL GM that took a chance on me and drafted me, now I'm an old bum and we'll see how long it takes until I vanish. Thanks for drafting me and giving me a home in the SHL

I like all my general managers. They cultivate a good culture while not sacrifice a competitive edge. I also know our league enjoyment is paramount to their list of priorities. Hope all Gms use them as an example. The league would be better for it.

My GM @CapnCooper is the best GM of all the GMs. He makes cars, cereal, genetic modifications, hosts D&D games, and often gets grand master rank in pvp games.

@hockeyiscool:

You're pretty neat, and you don't completely suck at disc golf. Thanks for drafting me to TBB, hopefully you don't regret it any time soon.
