From ANAMARI: The story goes that a father always used to take his daughter to lunch on Saturdays at a popular eatery in Havana, Cuba (before Castro) and the daughter was a fussy eater so there were very few things she liked. One of the things she loved was strawberry jam, so the Dad asked the waiter to come up with a sandwich for her.

INGREDIENTS:

  • Sweet bread rolls (a soft type of bread, such as Hawaiian bread or an roll made with egg)
  • cream cheese
  • strawberry jam (not jelly)
  • sliced turkey breast
