What is the most common expression for "presunto", as in "sandes de presunto"?
Is it dry-cured ham sandwich/Jamon sandwich/other?
I need a short expression that can fit well on a restaurant menu.
Thank you in advance!

ham
sanduiche de presunto = ham sandwich
Note from asker:
| I also have "sandes de fiambre", so I used that expression for that one, so I was looking for another. Thank you! |

: Ham is very vague, it could be smoked ham, curred ham, turkey ham...Presunto is a specific type of ham and has a totally different taste from normal ham...Not in Portugal, and I'm assuming the Asker, being from Portugal is translating a Portuguese menu

Presunto is any type of ham that can be used in a sandwich, as in the context of the asker

: A não ser que tenha saiba exatamente qual o tipo de presunto, minha sugestão é "keep it simple, ham covers all kinds".

: I would use "ham", short and simple. In Brazil "sanduíches de presunto", never "de fiambre", although things may be different in the land of Camões.

Mateus Gomes
: I do agree. Ham is a better word when one doesn't have the specific term. Besides, the dish description would end setting up the understanding.

smoked ham / prosciutto
In a posh restaurant, you'd rather use prosciutto.

: I'm assuming this menu is from Portugal, where Presunto would be Prosciutto, not Ham as Presunto is used in Brazil
