Get ready to liven up your lunch hour with a short baguette, sliced down the middle and loaded with pate, mayo, cucumber, fresh chilies, coriander and your choice of filling, from grilled chicken to marinated pork, all covered in lashings of sriracha.
Bánh Mì is a Vietnamese bread that appeared during the French colonization, around 1880. French colonists brought bread as well as pâté, coffee, crème caramel, yoghurt, and more, influencing Vietnamese cuisine. Vietnamese tweaked the bread by filling it with pâté, carrot and radish pickles, fresh herbs, and all sorts of meat. It is now considered one of the best sandwiches in the world.
Bánh Mì, which translates to "wheat cake", is the name of the bread itself, but also the filled sandwich.
