Barros Jarpa is a popular Chilean sandwich consisting of grilled sandwich bread filled with a slice of ham and cheese, usually mantecoso, which is similar to farmer's cheese. The sandwich is a variation of the Barros Luco, which is made with steak instead of ham.
It was named after Ernesto Barros Jarpa, the cousin of President Ramón Barros Luco, who loved the original Barros Luco sandwich but had problems with chewing the steak, so he asked for ham instead, and Barros Jarpa was born.
