When I moved to China, I was surprised to see a sandwich when browsing their street food. When I found out that it might actually be the world's first sandwich, I was stupefied. When I tasted it, I was blown away.

Rou jia mo (肉夹馍) is made with a wheat flour flat bread, that's cooked in a pan or a clay oven. It's filled with a stewed meat, usually pork, that's chopped up with cilantro and green onions. It's a popular breakfast in China. You can often find it on the streets, or in many Muslim restaurants where the pork is replaced with beef.
