When we moved, we found ourselves near a place with great banh mi, which are Vietnamese sandwiches on French bread with these marinated vegetables and thinly sliced meats. It’s a beautiful blending of cultures.
My brother Ian says the many banh mi places in Seattle all seem to charge exactly $3.98 for a sandwich. As with many things, they’re even cheaper here in Phoenix. It’s a lotta deliciousness for your buck.
Have you tried banh mi? Do you have a favorite spot near you?
I have heard the words banh mi but never knew what it was, I assumed it was noodles! What a delicious sandwich that looks like. The french bread piece in particular. Too bad they don’t make good gluten free french bread, to be honest that picture is the first time I’ve coveted actual bread in years. Mmmmm. And how lovely that it is a delicious and cheap eat?
Whoops! Sorry to cause a bread craving! The filling is so good, though, you could even enjoy it on its own.
I have it on pretty good authority that Chicago has a number of decent spots for Vietnamese eats. Clearly I need to get out and try that amazing looking sandwich.
Yes! I bet you can find banh mi places in Chicago!
Never tried it but it looks delicious! Will look out for it in future but not optimistic about finding it in Ireland…
Hmmm…I’m guessing there’s not a large Vietnamese community there. I found you a recipe…just in case you wanted to try making one…hopefully the ingredients aren’t too hard to find. https://www.splendidtable.org/story/dont-forget-maggi-seasoning-sauce-or-daikon-pickles-in-your-banh-mi
