Pork tenderloin sandwich

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is a culinary dish popular in the Midwestern United States, particularly in the state of Indiana. It consists of a breaded and fried pork tenderloin, served on a bun.

History

The origins of the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich can be traced back to the early 20th century in Indiana, where it was influenced by the German and Austrian dish, Schnitzel. The sandwich became a staple in local diners and fast food establishments, and is now considered a classic example of Midwestern cuisine.

Preparation

The Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is made from a piece of pork loin, which is pounded thin, breaded, and then deep fried. The breading typically consists of flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, although variations may include cornmeal or cracker crumbs. The sandwich is traditionally served on a bun with pickles, onions, and mustard, although many establishments offer a variety of additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.

Variations

There are several regional variations of the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. In Indiana, the sandwich is often larger than the bun it is served on, while in other parts of the Midwest, the pork tenderloin may be grilled instead of fried. Some versions of the sandwich also include cheese or a spicy sauce.

Cultural Significance

The Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is a significant part of Indiana's culinary identity. It is often served at local fairs and festivals, and many restaurants in the state have their own version of the dish. The sandwich's popularity has also spread to other parts of the Midwest, where it is a common menu item in diners and fast food establishments.
