This is a French sandwich that miraculously combines meat, salad, and bread in one dish. The nutritious and very attractive Pan Banya sandwiches should be prepared with only the freshest ingredients (in fact, like any dish), put in a little bit of everything, and pay special attention to the dressing. There is hardly anything else to complement the Pan-Banja, except perhaps potato chips.
