There are few sandwiches as beautiful as the Banh Mi.
The brightly colored veggies, thinly sliced jalapeno and multitude of cilantro are so intriguing. Like the wrapping on a box filled with a surprise. I have to admit the first time I tried one, I was skeptical of what lay underneath all that goodness, only to find even more goodness.
My first experience with Banh Mi was a couple of years ago. I somehow convinced my husband to share one which was quite difficult since he doesn’t care for jalapeno, mayonnaise, or cilantro. I think the only thing that sold him was the grilled pork and the baguette. Well, after one bite he began to devour the entire thing. I was lucky I even had a chance to try it.
