Banh Mi

Saturday, January 2 – We already mentioned the fresh baguette sandwiches you can get on any street corner in Vietnam, but we’ve both become huge fans of this light lunch. In the south, the Banh Mi tends to be stuffed with a few pieces of cold meat (pork or chicken) along with tomatoes and cucumber. And in the north, the more prominent style uses a hot kebab-style marinated pork. But they all have a yummy spicy sauce and some mayonnaise, and they’re always served warm on a crusty baguette.

Back in Canada, we’ve only had Banh Mi once, and it wasn’t good. The bread wasn’t fresh. So we figured we just didn’t like it. But once we get home, we’re definitely gonna have to find ourselves a favourite Banh Mi shop to frequent.
