Vietnamese banh mi makes it into the Top 6 best banh mi in the world.

Sandwiches are a very basic dish found in most countries around the world, consisting of meats and vegetables sandwiched between two layers of bread. While it sounds simple, the dish is deeply rooted in national identity due to the combination of ingredients characteristic of each region.

Here is a list of the 6 best sandwiches in the world, as voted by readers of The Travel.

Arepa

The first item on this list is the Arepa, originating from Venezuela and popular throughout South America. The pastry shell is made from finely ground cornmeal, and the filling typically consists of finely chopped beef, beans, cheese, onions, and avocado. Arepas can be eaten at any time of day. When served for breakfast, they are often filled with fruit, jam, and dipped in chocolate sauce.

Submarine sandwich

Also known simply as "Sub," this is a familiar American sandwich. The sandwich is typically about a foot (30 cm) long and filled with a variety of toppings, including different meats, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olive oil, and vinegar. Popular meats include Italian cured meats such as turkey, ham, and bacon.

Vietnamese bread

This famous Vietnamese sandwich is the result of a fusion of East Asian and Western culinary cultures. The crust is usually a baguette, while the fillings are incredibly diverse, depending on the region visited. Typically, a banh mi will contain pate, cucumber, meat (beef, chicken, or pork), sausage, pickled vegetables, herbs, and chili sauce. Banh mi is often eaten for breakfast but can also be a light snack at any time of day.

Reuben (USA)

A unique American sandwich uses ingredients from different countries. Between two layers of rye bread are German sauerkraut, Swedish cheese, Russian sauce, and beef brisket. This combination creates an explosion of flavor, captivating Americans and earning it the title of one of the best sandwiches in the United States.

Croque-Monsieur (France)

Representatives of French cuisine also make the list this time. A traditional croque-monsieur must have Gruyere cheese mixed with béchamel sauce to create a creamy, savory sauce, spread over a ham sandwich. The pastry needs to be fried before serving so that the cheese melts, creating a crispy, golden-brown crust.

Torta (Mexico)

The Mexican sandwich, with its famous salsa sauce, is also celebrated as one of the best sandwiches in the world. Instead of using tortilla bread, the Torta uses regular bread. The filling includes fried chicken, roasted pork, or shredded beef, along with greens like cilantro, avocado, and Oaxaca cheese. The Torta's distinctive spicy flavor is a major draw for tourists visiting this Central American country.
