Barros Jarpa is a popular sandwich in Chilean cuisine that includes ham and melted cheese. [1] It is named after the 19th century Chilean Minister Ernesto Barros Jarpa, and was coined in the restaurant of the National Congress of Chile, where Barros Jarpa always asked for this sandwich. [2] It is a derivative of the Barros Luco sandwich.
The minister's cousin, President Ramón Barros Luco, asked for sandwiches with beef and cheese; these sandwiches were called Barros Luco. Barros Jarpa found this combination hard to eat, so he replaced the beef with ham.[ citation needed]
