Chivito completo

I just had a huge sandwich for lunch, the chivito completo. There were a few versions of the popular chivito, the Chivito, Chivito Canadiense, and the Chivito Completo. I went for the chivito completo since I didn't know what half of the ingredients were. Our waiter was very nice and brought us little samples of all the ingredients I didn't recognize. The sandwich had a slice of steak (lomo), ham (jamon), bacon (panceta), mozzarella (muzarela), tomato (tomate), onion (cebolla), lettuce (lechuga), mayonnaise (mayonesa), slices of boiled egg (huevo), and pickled mushrooms (hongos), palm hearts (palmitos), and bell pepper (morrones) and some pickled hot peppers (catalanes).

  1. So your ear will start recognizing the different regions/countries these different spanish speakers come from. I always knew there were distinctions between different places but my espanol is too rudimentary to hear the differences.
