Banh mi is the superior expression of the sandwich.

This needs a cross section.

I love a good Báhn Mì
-
How was it?

Good. Messy, but that's normal with a banh mi. The presentation and the flavor was more simple and felt more authentic than a lot of banh mis served in popular "fusion" restaurants where they all try to Guy Fieri up the flavor in some way.

There was a local joint that used to make them around here. The place didn't close, they just quit making banh mi. Broke my heart. They were messy and classic as well. I miss those sandwiches.

doh should have put vietnamese in that other thread. total respect for the sandwich but I hate cilantro.

Have you tried Culantro? It's often used in banh mi instead of cilantro. The flavor is somewhat similar but it is different chemically.
I ask because I know people who hate cilantro but love culantro.
The Wikipedia article is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eryngium_foetidum

I did not. It was actually these which made me realize I did not like it as I did not like the leafy green and previously I had just hated some sauces and such. I actually thought I hated avacado because I did not like the quac I had tasted. Unfortunately im far enough away I doubt I will remember to try one of these with this alternative if I get the opportunity to try again.

Just go for it and what happens happens.

Cram it in your face and jam it

I’m legitimately eating a Banh Mi as I open this. Yours looks better, but this is very delicious. They fuckin SLATHERED mine in pork and sauce. Could use more cilantro.
