A pebete is a simple Argentine sandwich, traditionally filled with cheese, cured meat, tomato and mayonnaise. The term pebete actually refers to the bread used for the sandwich; a soft oval bun with spongy high inside, and a thin toasted crust.

The name is colloquially believed to have come from PBT (pronounced pe-be-te in Spanish), an acronym for pan (bread), beicon, tomate, much like the North American BLT sandwich, though it is more probably from the lunfardo term for young boy, itself from Catalan pevet.[1]
