Banh Mi My Tho

Now if you're reading this you likely know what Banh Mi are. But if you don't.. Banh Mi are Vietnamese baguette sandwiches. (The French "occupied" Vietnam and their effect on vietnam's culinary history was significant to say the least.) With fillings like beef or pork, even pate' sometimes. Along with pickled carrots and daikon and sometimes jalapeƱo all adding crunch and depth to these deceptively simple and dirt cheap sandwiches. Chicken curry is sold by the quart and is also very reasonable. All sorts of delightful Vietnamese dishes to try; noodles, fried shrimp. But don't miss the Banh Mi. You can get them at other places closer to home but never better or cheaper at about 2 bucks for a big sandwich!! Go early but expect a wait anyway. They run out of curry early!
