Cemita

Bread from Puebla City, in México

Media: Cemita

The cemita is a sandwich originally from Puebla, Mexico. Also known as cemita poblana, it derives from the city (and region) of Puebla.^[1]^[2] The word refers to the sandwich as well as to the roll it is typically served on, a bread roll covered with sesame seeds.^[3] Additionally, the ingredients usually are restricted to sliced avocado, meat, Oaxaca cheese, onions, the herb pápalo and chipotle adobado, or jalapeño.^[1]

Name

The Real Academia Española^[4] says cemita comes from "acemite" (archaic Spanish for "bran")^[5] which in turn comes from Aramaic, and is related to Greek σεμίδαλις (semídalis) ("semolina").

Reception

The Daily Meal reviewed the cemita, saying "there are numerous variations, but it's always a delicious mouthful" in their article "12 Life-Changing Sandwiches You've Never Heard Of".^[6]
