vietnamese sandwiches
November 8, 2005ben and i have been craving for vietnamese sandwiches called, banh mi. there are different meat flavors that you can choose from - pork, beef, and my favorite chicken. the chicken meat is shredded and moist and every sandwich is full of pickled carrots, cilantro, jalapeno and slices of cucumber, in a warm toasty french baguette. they’re very tasty and very cheap.
we have been eating them almost every meal, except breakfast. for $ 1.50 a sandwich, you have a complete meal - vegetables, meat and starch! so even if the vietnamese parisian bakery is way out of our office, we stop by whenever we get a chance. and on our way home, we pass by another pho (vietnamese soup) place near our home that also serves these sandwiches and grab a couple for dinner. ben can even eat three of them in one sitting! and they’re even huge!
anytime you chance upon a crowded vietnamese restaurant, try their banh mi sandwiches!
oh yes, i love those sandwiches, too. that’s one of the things i miss from chicago. there are no good vietnamese restaurants here.

I love to eat pho! In Seattle, we have several Vietnamese restaurants with good pho. Love ‘em
