Venezuelan Cachitos
The salty, smoky filling stays relatively moist during baking, its steam trapped inside the roll with it
Pittsburgh’s Turkey Devonshire
The sauce tastes like something that can’t decide whether it is a bechamel, a gravy, or a cheese sauce and ends up being none of the above. Elements of each present themselves and are subsumed by the whole.
Spatlo or Kota: Stuffed Bread of South Africa
