    Man there are few things more tasty and refreshing than biting into a freshly made "Banh Mi"! That beautiful crusty french bread, all the fresh crunchy veggies, the tasty but polarizing cilantro (I couldn't imagine a "Banh mi", or any Vietnamese food really, without it!), the unique sauces and just so many different varieties of meats to try! Personally, I'm partial to the Roast Pork Banh Mi , well that or the OG original style "Banh Mi" with pate and cuts of a couple different luncheon meat! (The original bahn mi has lasted this long for a reason, while it may not be as fancy or as expensive as some of the other options, it's just f'n amazing and something everyone should try at least once!)
    Oh, if you were wondering why the "ham" looked/tasted different was because it wasn't actually "ham", or at least ham as we know it. It was actually a type of Pork luncheon meat, kind of a off-label cheaper SPAM. It's extremely popular in traditional Banh mi's because they are cheap and since you don't need to cook it, super easy and fast to prepare it. Plus, they're actually tasty when used right and once you get used to it!
    It's actually really amazing and interesting all the different cultures and cuisines that came together to create such a unique dish that eventually became one of Vietnam's most famous and well known foods!

    These were my fast food favorites in college. We had a banh mi place nearby that had a buy 2 get 1 free. The amount of carbs, fat and sodium in this stuff is enough for 2 meals. Add a Vietnamese coffee and I was able to go from 8am to 10pm with school and work.

    The "ham" isn't the same ham you would have in America or western countries. In Canada I've heard it called Vienamese sausage, or Cha lua. It's a lot softer than normal ham or sausage, and has a slight fish sauce taste. The texture is a bit like tapioca balls, or jello in terms of the "springiness". I think this is caused by potato starch being added. If you were expecting normal ham I could see it being off putting, especially if you don't like the pate, but personally it's my favourite one because it's very distinct from "normal" sandwiches you get here.

    I love me some banh mi! It's such a unique sandwich style and the flavours are very complex, definitely an eye-opener for people used to western-style sandwiches. Bahn mi used to be such amazing value when it comes to taste/quantity/price. For a couple of bucks, you could get a big sandwich that was beyond tasty. Unfortunately, as it became more and popular, and along with greedflation, those days are long gone.
