I’m from Vietnam, currently studying and living in Europe. So far, I’ve explored 10 countries to experience life, try different cuisines, and especially sandwiches. For me, Vietnamese bánh mì isn’t just about the flavors or childhood memories-it’s something you can eat all day without getting bored because every brand has its own unique twist on it.
If anyone has something bad to say about Vietnamese bánh mì, just book a trip to Vietnam. Any random bánh mì stall on any street in Vietnam can make a better sandwich than most places to eat in your country.
Once when my mother came back to Germany from Vietnam, she brought me three Banh Mi. And in 6 minutes I ate them all. Banh Mi has a strong traditional taste as well as a specialty of Vietnam. That is why I love Banh Mi. --Love from a Deutscher--🇩🇪❤🇻🇳
Slight criticism but the banh mi had a French style baguette, the Vietnamese style has a much lighter, crispier crust and airy but less chewy crumb compared to French baguettes.
@@emu_warrior I mean I personally always put pate in mine, but understand it's personal preference, I feel like using the right bread type for a sandwich recipe is damn near non-negotiable, and I know that dude lives in Texas, there are so many Vietnamese bakeries he could get the correct bread from
if you show me the torta and the banh mi in this video, i will think the torta is the banh mi. the torta bread is much more banh mi than the banh mi itself lol
Pork pâté is crucial in banh mi - it prevents the bread from getting soggy, as another important ingredient is the sauce. The pâté acts as a barrier, stopping the sauce from saturating the bread. Banh mi is engineered to near perfection, and with so many different recipes, you could eat nothing but banh mi for weeks and never get bored. If you were to travel from North to South, you could probably write a couple of books on just banh mi recipes.
15:23 That's why banh mi uses its own version of baguette. Much softer than the traditional French one, with a paper thin crispy crust and fluffy interior. Gives it a more pleasant eating experience and a better overall balance to the sandwich.
I remember the first time I had Banh Mi in Toronto (as an American) and I had to stop eating halfway through because I thought there was no way a sandwich this good could be at all healthy for you. It was heavenly
@@kimlynguyen5249Banh mi in Vietnam may not and is often not as good as banh mi in many overseas Vietnamese community areas around the world. Especially in the US, Australia, Canada, France. Two simple reasons: The quality of its ingredients are better outside Vietnam and the formula to make banh mi is not difficult or complicated. All are real ones, different tastes.
In Vietnam, there are many different types of banhmi. If you have the opportunity, come to Vietnam to enjoy the best banhmi. In addition to the traditional types, banhmi cha ca or banhmi chao are also very delicious. I really like your channel.

Vietnamese Banh Mi is one of the best international food I have ever tried! The paste inside is perfect! They all match with meat lovers and veggies lovers 👌 Thanks for the nice video❤
Banh Mi in Vietnam actually has many options of flavor, but the most simple and popular and tasty as Banh Mi with Vietnamese cold cuts, pate and egg yolk mayonnaise and veggies ❤ That’s all but phenomenal!

Offending the Germans is good, the other day they were saying that the Sandinistas never kill anybody and that it was the perfect revolution but the USA destroyed it (good friends Americans have) and it was the Germany's propaganda machine the Deutsche Welle. Being of the region and knowing many people that lost family to the violence looking at the Germans pissing in their graves just to promote hatred towards the USA I like to see them offended. On the other hand, I am sad about the Turks.
Banh mi baguette is very different from the French one. The crust is like egg shells and the crumb is fluffy. The process is very different, and I've made both from scratch. The eating experience for the Vietnamese baguette is much lighter, and I really think it's worth a try.
Yeah he's done this wrong twice now. I'm not sure why he keeps assuming that is basically a French baguette when it truly isn't. It's not supposed to cut the roof of your mouth whatsoever. Soft, light, crusty crumb and fluffy inside is extremely important to a good and true banh mi.
I tried making my own banh mi but it ended up being closer to baguette. What exactly in the process of making banh mi bread that makes it different to baguette?
Maybe its where I grew up (In Canada) but our shawarmas were served with Meat, garlic spread, pickle, onion, turnips and lettuce. THAT would have probably won lol
honestly, shawarma should have won over the focaccia alla mortadella, and i'm saying this as an Italian. That being said, I don't think that focaccia alla mortadella should have been used to represent Italy, as there's much better Italian sandwiches IMO
@@mei1346 You say that but out of all the sandwiches in the video, the Italian one is the one I wanted to try the most. It looks right up my alley. Though I might be a bit biased because I've spent a lot of time in northern Italy.
@@Razor921 I understand that it does indeed look good, but I don't think mortadella is THAT good. For instance, I like prosciutto cotto better. And just to clarify, I've lived in northern Italy my whole life
As a Guadalajara native, the torta ahogada loss hit hard. 😅 Especially since the right bolillo was not used, we use a type of bolillo that is fermented and a bit harder than usual to withstand the sauce, also, the torta is dunked in the sauce and then served, not poured over to avoid the pool of soggy-ness. ❤
That actually sounds a lot more appealing to me than how he did it. I was like.. does he know he made a soup sandwich, which is literally a term we use for a mess 😂
I had a banh mi with some kind of meatballs once in Hoi An, Vietnam. It was even more amazing than the typical cold cuts and pate or the grilled pork variety. These guys would go nuts if they can get a hold of one.
If you have not eaten a Döner Kebab in Germany, you can´t really judge how good it is. I have eaten the imitations of it in many european countries, but no one does it as good as in germany!
@@KlausRe-m8c Ich habe die "3 besten" gegessen und ich finde auch das ein anderer aus Wien noch besser ist als Ferhat, ich sage nur das das rein objektiv der beste ist, also schnauz mich nicht so an.
Banh Mi is the perfect combination of crispy bread crust, rich grilled meat filling, fresh herbs and typical Vietnamese spices and sauces. This dish reflects the Vietnamese taste for herbs and light flavors.
That doner kebab is criminal, u need to add cucumbers and red cabbage. The bread has to be toasted and the sauce has to be put on the bottom of the bread on both sides. After putting all the topics in u have to add a little more sauce on top. For a typical berlin kebab u also use meat use from minced meat and garlic/herb sauce.
The red cabbage really is essential imo. It gives the Döner such a nice flavor compared to just having lettuce and tomatoe. What he did is probably closer to a turkish Kebap.
I’m far from Vietnamese, but their food is sooo good, it’s just to cry for. My ex was Vietnamese and I will forever be thankful for learning about this. Banh mi deserved this, even though his version is a bit weird (wrong bread, no pâté, etc.) Edit: I'm getting replies on the pâté, so to slightly correct myself... I know that banh mi differs from north to south in Vietnam and some versions don't have pâté. The Northern versions often don't even have anything else but fatty meat, so the pâté might be redundant there. Though I would say the version with pâté, herbs, and do chua (pickled daikon and carrot), is probably the one most people know. Personally I also want cucumber, chilies and mayo on it, and the meat needs to include cha lua and xia xiu/char siu (roast red pork). Then it's perfect.
Agree with all of this. Pate is a must. Vietnam was French Indochina, and whilst they took back their independence, they kept the French influences they liked. Baguettes, pate, coffee and consommé being the obvious ones. How Vietnamese food has not taken over the world is a mystery to me, it combines the best of Asian and European ingredients and techniques with, for the most part, being super healthy. If you go down the unhealthy path, Vietnamese drip coffee, onto condensed milk, over ice, is a dark chocolate milk shake with a double shot of caffeine.
@@nickc6882 This is incorrect. Bánh mì only use pate in cold cut and common version. Grilled pork however we use drip sauce/ fish sauce in it's place since grilled pork already have fatty bits in it (we grill with skin on). Pate would overwhelm it in this case.
Grilled pork version don't use pate, as does fried fish paste version. We use drip sauce/ fish sauce mixture with it. Pate usually go with cold cut, fried egg , meat loaf bánh mì. Wrong bánh mì is correct, we don't use that type of bread. The bread shown is a fancy approximation. If you go with cold cut, we also use mayonaise (but the kind we use is very different from what most westerner use). I don't know why people get this weird idea that bánh mì must have pate. It is correct only in the most popular version of bánh mì.
I've been to a small Vietnamese place just doing banh mi in Paris and also a similar one in London and they were outstanding. There's a few near to me here outside London I want to try too
lol. Go to Vietnam and try VNese ssndwich with red meatball sauce. You’ll die for the fragrance of hot meatball sauce, especially in late evening. Find any baguette food cart on the street and try it. You’ll love it. Here in America the VNese version is dry and for convenience and clean. Over there it’s dripping sauce and smell like heaven. 😂
Doner Kebab IS from Germany. It was created in the 70s by a Turkish man running a Kebab shop. People wanted to get it to go and so he put the Kebab (the meat) into the Doner bun. It IS in fact from Germany and it is not a Shawarma as many people seem to think it's the same. Also whoever specified that specific Doner Kebab is a bit lost. The traditional includes Garlic herb sauce on both sides, red cabbage, cucumbers and tomatoes, sliced not knife cut meat stripes, thin and crispy and shredduce. Then garlic herb sauce on top and a pickled peperoni (the pickled green pepper not the meat with two P) and you got a classic Doner.
Its called that because it was the only way to differentiate a turkish kebab from the other kebabs. I ate a kebab labelled as a "Doner" with a typical pita flatbread. When people say "Doner kebab" these days, they refer to a way the meat was prepared. That's why they say Shawarma when its an arabic kebab and Doner when its a turkish kebab.
LET'S GOOOO VIET BANH MI 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You HAVE to use the correct baguette though. We don't use the French baguette, it has been changed to something less dense and more delicate but still crispy! You get a boat of crumbs but man is it good and all apart of the experience. You have a variety of fillings and can even find vegetarian ones with fake meat, mushrooms, and/or tofu! I truly love banh mi because it tastes so balanced and feels healthy but still yummy! The pickled veg and jalapeno slices are always a must for me.
the way i grew more and more offended in the entire video- like wtf did he mean with basic?? Döner has much more variation than fuckin PHillycheesesteak- I guess they didn't like the healthy salad in there
Well deserved, as a French with Vietnamese origin, the jambon beurre cannot match any of thoses sandwichs. Of course my top 1 is the banh mi, so simple but the seasonning of the meat make it so delicious. My number 2 pick would be the Doner Kebab, a classic but so tasty too
I’m sorry but as a Mexican that wasn’t a torta ahogada, a torta ahogada consist of chorizo with potatoes, queso fresco, lettuce, crema and then you put the red sauce on top of the bun and then you have to heat it up in a little bit of oil.
As an Indian myself, I really am surprised by how impressed you guys were with Vada Pav. We really love it, but to have a vegetarian sandwich making such a deep run was insane!
A lot of cuisines, if you're not a vegetarian and you get a vegetarian option you end up disappointed. I have never once, not ever, been disappointed by a vegetarian order at an Indian restaurant.
Being Portuguese I admit my opinion is biased. When I realized you were putting Francesinha in the mix I knew it wouldn't make the cut. But honestly the ingredients used for Francesinha were a bit off. I've never heard of mortadela being used. Also, you are not supposed to eat it with your hands. It's a knife and fork endeavor. And we don't really consider Francesinha a sandwich... Sure. Technically it's sandwiched between two slices of bread but we consider it a main dish, not so much a sandwich. If you want a classic Portuguese sandwich look up Bifana or Prego.
I agree, francesinha might technically be a sandwich but if feels misplaced in the competition. Would also suggest a bifana as a more appropriate choice instead!
that particular restaurant uses mortadela , not the biggest fan of it but some people really love it also the types of meat inside being from the local market really influences the flavour
I really dig all the vegetables, spicy, salty, sweet, and then the grilled pork 😵. I add some hoisin to mine, no mayo. I need to try the paté and fried eggs version soon.
Absolutely fair sandwich journalism. I could eat either a bahn mi or Cuban every week/day for sure. Totally fair to include that into rating/voting requirements.
@@pnouraniWhile I don’t think his self-made food is the best version there is. I think it’s a fair thing to do for this competition. There’s no point of having a sandwich that supposedly the best in the world but it’s only the best if you have it in a certain area or place. Just my opinion 😁
@@pnourani It's literally the only fair way to do it. "Wah, it's only good if you go to this super specific part of the world!" is, 99% of the time, copium for a food item that simply isn't that good.
The Banh Mi in this video had the wrong type of baguette and no paté in it (almost criminal)...and STILL WON!...THAT IS HOW DAMN GREAT OF A SANDWICH BANH MI REALLY IS! 😄🇻🇳❤️🤤🤤🤤
Bánh Mì doesn't necessarily have to have Pâté; there are varieties. That one is called Bánh Mì thịt nướng (grilled pork Bánh mì), which doesn't have and doesn't need pâté.
@@haonguyen5752 I know, that's why I said "almost" 🙂 I've had grilled pork Bánh mì with pâté though (in Vietnam) and most other versions too and I prefer it that way 🙂 If you watch his first video making Bánh mì you'll find lots of comments from Vietnamese people bringing up the fact that he "forgot" the pâté and that he should have used it. (and yes, I get that you're most likely Vietnamese too 😊) ❤️
@@KraljOsovina To be honest, I think you ate a different version of Bánh Mì or not the authentic one. Because in my entire life, grilled pork Bánh Mì has never come with pâté. Also, all of his Bánh Mì videos are not authentic, including this one. It is 20% wrong, I think, because of a lack of ingredients, and also grilled pork Bánh Mì must have sweet fish sauce because the grilled pork we use has a lot of fat. Pâté only goes with cold cut Bánh Mì because it lacks fat.
As a Vietnamese who has had supposedly the best philly from philly and the best banh mi from Vietnam, the Philly is comfort the Banh Mi is a dance!!!! Both sooo good.
@@PatrickDaviswimiwamwamwazzle In case it's not clear from the 3 cry face laugh emojis, I wasn't being entirely serious 😅 Didn't actually know about the polls beforehand though, I would have fought for croque madame with my life. I'm not even french but it's absolutely divine 😅
In India (mumbai), decent quality "Vada Pav" can be purchased for Rs 40( $0.5 USD ). Best part of is that we can eat it while running to office in the morning and easy to make
@@alefiyajamali6604ah alrite then, I'm guessing he's probably buying it somewhere in South Mumbai where it's 35-40 normally and I agree with you, I generally have one which costs ~20 and it's always super tasty 😋😅
I’m so proud as Vietnamese , thank you for the video . Banh mi is always the most iconic Sandwich in ours heart after taste all the other sandwiches . That’s is something that we can eat every day without get sick of it ❤❤❤
You should do the same with seafood sandwiches. Shrimp pho-boy, lobster roll, Skagen from Denmark, Egyptian fried fish sandwich, cold smoked Salmon rye bread from Finland, Tuna toast etc…
@@Ninjaananas No such thing as a "salmon burger". Burger is short for hamburger, which means ground beef or "minced meat". You had a salmon sandwich. It makes no sense to call something a burger that doesn't have beef in it.
I’ve eaten all kinds of sandwiches in my life and the first time I had a Banh Mi and Philly Cheesesteak changed everything. But Banh Mi is a lot cheaper so it’s still #1 for me.
@@xboxmods You do know you have access to Google, right? Heck you can just look up a recipe on UA-cam. If you won't just look up a recipe then I'm inclined to believe you wouldn't have the energy to make any of these sandwiches anyway.
Two details on the torta ahogada. The bread used is birote, not bolillo. Big difference between the two. And while most tortas ahogadas use cooked tomato sauce, the original is actually raw tomato. Lime is definetely not optional. Regardless I don't feel bad that it lost to India. Never tried that sandwich but it looks fantastic.
As an Italian I was mildly pissed, losing to the Vietnamese sandwich but man, that Banh Mi looks scrumptious and I can't wait to make one at home. Also, we lost to the winner, so there's that 😅
Dont be sad. I had very great sandwiches in italy. When I worked there I would get porchetta nearly every day and it represented 5 minutes of absolute heaven for me in a stressful work enviroment. If you ever in the chance of getting an authentic saigon style banh mi, I think, you would understand why so many people like it. I will recommend to be particular with the recipe because it is a sandwich that relies more on the combination of the right ingredients more than quality of one ingredient (like the porchetta, it was just that but it was so good in itself)
I can’t wait to go to Napoli to have that! I get it on my Insta and Facebook feed all the time and looks amazing especially when you factor that all the ingredients are fresh and high quality
The Italian sandwich would have won for me. Not just that one, but mostly any Italian sandwich with prosciutto or porchetta. My only close contender is France though - hard to beat the simplicity of a good quality bread, butter and ham!
As an Argentinian, I was so happy to see choripan on the list and that you loved it. It's very common to find people selling it outside of football stadiums before a game. With an ice cold beer, it is heaven.
@aricuchi nah, una buena milanesa al pan con chimi, mayonesa a la provensal quesito y jamon con su tomatito. Les vuela la peluca a estos gringos. El chori está bien pero la mila es lo mejor, junto al lomito.
As a Vietnamese, I feel proud about my country when seeing this video. Banh Mi is a meal that I’ve been eating for my whole life yet it’s still good and I wanted everyone to know about it more. Thank you for making this video and present banh mi to your fans. I love your vide, keep up the hard work
@@Jay-hm4yy It's okay tbh. I live in the UK where I can not get that pate and bread. I'm good with my version of banh mi without them. Also banh mi stand for bread so his version is just one of the most globally famous one.
The Döner how it is served today, in the flatbread is indeed something that was first done in Germany. The Turkish owner of a restaurant realized, that Germans tend to take their food in their Lunchbreaks "Auf die Hand" which means literally "On the hand", or simply to go. So him serving all the incredients on a plate didn't work, so he put it in the flatbread. So without two cultures clashing, it doesn't exist at all the way it does today.
@@amin_cheg I mean 20 years ago Turks from Turkey insisted it has nothing to do with how they do it and mockingly called it German to distinguish themselves from the Turks in Germany. Now when it gained popularity, they claim it for themselves. Just ask any German of Turkish descent that is older than 30 and they'll confirm this.
@@amin_cheg Go to Turkey you won't find something like a German Döner Kebap there. It will just be a flat bread with meat and onions. No sauce, no cabbage or other ingredients.
@@sriramprasanna7200 Are you stupid? Just because ingredients like potatoes and bread were introduced from outside India doesn’t mean the dish isn’t Indian. By that logic, nearly every cuisine wouldn't be Indian since foods like tomatoes, chilies, and even grains originated outside India. Vada pav is Indian because of how it’s made. If that's the case then why is there no plain "pav" and potato on the charts?
Worst part is the best Vietnamese Food and the best Cheesesteak are both in the same part of town (South Philly). In your opinion, what's the best Banh Mi in Philly?
he made a very Americanized version of bahn mi though. So the final sandwiches were 2 american sandwiches phillycheese steak (italian americans) and a very viet-american style of bahn mi
@@christianacosta4013 but the flavours are so specific like i would not eat a pistachio sandwich every day, as good as it is i feel like it's a CRAVING more than anything else
The great thing about something like a PCS is that you can customize it a bit with bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and some kind of spicy peppers to give it some more texture and flavor. Yes people will argue about the cheese but overall it’s a great sandwich to tailor.
i would view a jambon beurre as more of a sandwich than a croque madame because it’s just a sandwich variation of a croque monsieur while a jambon beurre is a sandwich of its own
@@chalottecollins1779 yeah but it's still a sandwich. That version is just better because it also has the egg on top. But both are valid options because they're both sandwiches
Thank you for your vote ❤️ i hope you can travel vietnam and you can enjoy extra food in our country which is also really good like phở, bún chả, nem nướng,... They are tasted suitable with almost everyone
Josh: A good baguette is crucial in a good Banh Mi. And then he proceeds to use a wheat flour baguette instead of a rice flour one like in Vietnam. Dude!
we still use wheat flour to make baguette. but the process of baking is a bit different for a different result than French baguette. Our crust is more crunchy and the inside is fluffy.
All the love for you from Lebanon Joshua. I Love You Thank you for choosing Lebanon🇱🇧 I was really touched espcially when you were pronouncing the Arabic words.

While the Döner Kebap meat did not come from Germany, the idea of putting it into a sandwich _was_ done here by a Turkish immigrant. In Türkije, before reimporting putting it into a sandwich, Döner Kebap was always on a plate, like Gyros… which weren’t put into pita bread until it got reimported. And Gyros are essentially an imported Döner (both mean the same thing: turned, and Greek even used Döner for awhile before translating it to the local word), more often than not now, Gyros are pork, but Döner is either beef, lamb, or chicken, because of Muslim food culture.
Argentina’s sandwich is SANDWICHE DE MILANESA!!! So a sandwich with milanesa (fried breaded beef or chicken), cheese, ham, tomato, lettuce and mayo! But I’m glad you tried choripan, I just wouldn’t call it a sandwich
You had a Greek Gyro go up against a Turkish (influenced) Doner. Are you trying to start a war?
GYro is waaaaayyyy better
I think they "gave" the doner to Germany so it won't start a war

Banh mi baguette is very different from the French one. The crust is like egg shells and the crumb is fluffy. The process is very different, and I've made both from scratch. The eating experience for the Vietnamese baguette is much lighter, and I really think it's worth a try.
ya, total BS with a bagette Bahn mi. gotta have the right bread and that is magic when its an actual bahn mi not his trash imposter
Yeah he's done this wrong twice now. I'm not sure why he keeps assuming that is basically a French baguette when it truly isn't. It's not supposed to cut the roof of your mouth whatsoever. Soft, light, crusty crumb and fluffy inside is extremely important to a good and true banh mi.
Yeah, Vietnamese baguettes contain rice flour
What's in the correct recipe, may I ask?
I tried making my own banh mi but it ended up being closer to baguette. What exactly in the process of making banh mi bread that makes it different to baguette?
Knocking out Chicken Shawarma in the first round was a controversial move.
I mean... there r alot of high rank sandwiches here so... maybe not good enough?
Maybe its where I grew up (In Canada) but our shawarmas were served with Meat, garlic spread, pickle, onion, turnips and lettuce. THAT would have probably won lol
honestly, shawarma should have won over the focaccia alla mortadella, and i'm saying this as an Italian.
That being said, I don't think that focaccia alla mortadella should have been used to represent Italy, as there's much better Italian sandwiches IMO
@@mei1346 You say that but out of all the sandwiches in the video, the Italian one is the one I wanted to try the most. It looks right up my alley.
Though I might be a bit biased because I've spent a lot of time in northern Italy.

As a Guadalajara native, the torta ahogada loss hit hard. 😅 Especially since the right bolillo was not used, we use a type of bolillo that is fermented and a bit harder than usual to withstand the sauce, also, the torta is dunked in the sauce and then served, not poured over to avoid the pool of soggy-ness. ❤
It shouldn’t represent the whole country. A normal torta would’ve been fine💀
Normal torta or a Pambazo
Pambazo or Guajolote would have killed ot
dont worry everyone is complaining about each dish was done wrong... Of course its done different everywhere and will never be the same.
That actually sounds a lot more appealing to me than how he did it. I was like.. does he know he made a soup sandwich, which is literally a term we use for a mess 😂
I had a banh mi with some kind of meatballs once in Hoi An, Vietnam. It was even more amazing than the typical cold cuts and pate or the grilled pork variety. These guys would go nuts if they can get a hold of one.
I guess the meatball you ate is called "xíu mại" (shumai). Its a type of meatball dish originated from China, a fairly common meatball dish in Vietnam

If you have not eaten a Döner Kebab in Germany, you can´t really judge how good it is. I have eaten the imitations of it in many european countries, but no one does it as good as in germany!

Nah leider thats not right. Im in Germany and eating Döner i still don’t like it.
Banh Mi is the perfect combination of crispy bread crust, rich grilled meat filling, fresh herbs and typical Vietnamese spices and sauces. This dish reflects the Vietnamese taste for herbs and light flavors.
That doner kebab is criminal, u need to add cucumbers and red cabbage. The bread has to be toasted and the sauce has to be put on the bottom of the bread on both sides. After putting all the topics in u have to add a little more sauce on top. For a typical berlin kebab u also use meat use from minced meat and garlic/herb sauce.
this man knows how to döner.
Yea that kebab was something else. Wouldn't fly in Germany at all
The red cabbage really is essential imo. It gives the Döner such a nice flavor compared to just having lettuce and tomatoe. What he did is probably closer to a turkish Kebap.
If they tried also a nice gemüse kebab... they wouldn't think twice
@@ellencristini1953Gemüse Kebab lmao, the word kebab implies meat, go home with your veggies
I’m far from Vietnamese, but their food is sooo good, it’s just to cry for. My ex was Vietnamese and I will forever be thankful for learning about this. Banh mi deserved this, even though his version is a bit weird (wrong bread, no pâté, etc.)
Edit: I'm getting replies on the pâté, so to slightly correct myself... I know that banh mi differs from north to south in Vietnam and some versions don't have pâté. The Northern versions often don't even have anything else but fatty meat, so the pâté might be redundant there. Though I would say the version with pâté, herbs, and do chua (pickled daikon and carrot), is probably the one most people know. Personally I also want cucumber, chilies and mayo on it, and the meat needs to include cha lua and xia xiu/char siu (roast red pork). Then it's perfect.
Agree with all of this. Pate is a must. Vietnam was French Indochina, and whilst they took back their independence, they kept the French influences they liked. Baguettes, pate, coffee and consommé being the obvious ones. How Vietnamese food has not taken over the world is a mystery to me, it combines the best of Asian and European ingredients and techniques with, for the most part, being super healthy.
If you go down the unhealthy path, Vietnamese drip coffee, onto condensed milk, over ice, is a dark chocolate milk shake with a double shot of caffeine.
@@nickc6882 This is incorrect. Bánh mì only use pate in cold cut and common version. Grilled pork however we use drip sauce/ fish sauce in it's place since grilled pork already have fatty bits in it (we grill with skin on). Pate would overwhelm it in this case.
Grilled pork version don't use pate, as does fried fish paste version. We use drip sauce/ fish sauce mixture with it. Pate usually go with cold cut, fried egg , meat loaf bánh mì. Wrong bánh mì is correct, we don't use that type of bread. The bread shown is a fancy approximation. If you go with cold cut, we also use mayonaise (but the kind we use is very different from what most westerner use).
I don't know why people get this weird idea that bánh mì must have pate. It is correct only in the most popular version of bánh mì.
I've been to a small Vietnamese place just doing banh mi in Paris and also a similar one in London and they were outstanding. There's a few near to me here outside London I want to try too
If you like Viet food, you prob would like Thai food too :D
Vietnam vs America round 2 ahhh moment 😭🙏💀
lol. Go to Vietnam and try VNese ssndwich with red meatball sauce. You’ll die for the fragrance of hot meatball sauce, especially in late evening.

Roast pork Bahn Mi just incredible. Had my first one when I moved to Australia and was totally blown away by it. It's just perfect.
Josh, can you plleeaasssee make a whole video dedicated to Vietnamese food??? I would LOVE to see it!!
Doner Kebab IS from Germany. It was created in the 70s by a Turkish man running a Kebab shop. People wanted to get it to go and so he put the Kebab (the meat) into the Doner bun. It IS in fact from Germany and it is not a Shawarma as many people seem to think it's the same. Also whoever specified that specific Doner Kebab is a bit lost. The traditional includes Garlic herb sauce on both sides, red cabbage, cucumbers and tomatoes, sliced not knife cut meat stripes, thin and crispy and shredduce. Then garlic herb sauce on top and a pickled peperoni (the pickled green pepper not the meat with two P) and you got a classic Doner.
Ach German fellow here 🤙
@@eqinoo3746 I....wunder... what gave that away :)
Its called that because it was the only way to differentiate a turkish kebab from the other kebabs. I ate a kebab labelled as a "Doner" with a typical pita flatbread. When people say "Doner kebab" these days, they refer to a way the meat was prepared. That's why they say Shawarma when its an arabic kebab and Doner when its a turkish kebab.
*1970's by Kadir Nurman
Döner is not from Germany at all are ypu out of your mind?
LET'S GOOOO VIET BANH MI 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You HAVE to use the correct baguette though. We don't use the French baguette, it has been changed to something less dense and more delicate but still crispy! You get a boat of crumbs but man is it good and all apart of the experience. You have a variety of fillings and can even find vegetarian ones with fake meat, mushrooms, and/or tofu! I truly love banh mi because it tastes so balanced and feels healthy but still yummy! The pickled veg and jalapeno slices are always a must for me.
Calling Döner a bit too basic but then voting Philly Cheesesteak into the final...😅

Well deserved, as a French with Vietnamese origin, the jambon beurre cannot match any of thoses sandwichs. Of course my top 1 is the banh mi, so simple but the seasonning of the meat make it so delicious. My number 2 pick would be the Doner Kebab, a classic but so tasty too
I’m sorry but as a Mexican that wasn’t a torta ahogada, a torta ahogada consist of chorizo with potatoes, queso fresco, lettuce, crema and then you put the red sauce on top of the bun and then you have to heat it up in a little bit of oil.

@@acastanza Even the late Anthony Bourdain who normally hated vegetarian food, says the only vegetarian cuisine he would eat and relish is from India.
Being Portuguese I admit my opinion is biased. When I realized you were putting Francesinha in the mix I knew it wouldn't make the cut. But honestly the ingredients used for Francesinha were a bit off. I've never heard of mortadela being used. Also, you are not supposed to eat it with your hands. It's a knife and fork endeavor. And we don't really consider Francesinha a sandwich... Sure. Technically it's sandwiched between two slices of bread but we consider it a main dish, not so much a sandwich. If you want a classic Portuguese sandwich look up Bifana or Prego.
I agree, francesinha might technically be a sandwich but if feels misplaced in the competition. Would also suggest a bifana as a more appropriate choice instead!
I find it fascinating how different food is across all of these wonderful cultures in the world.
This ^ I pretty much raised an eyebrow when I heard the name, cuz technically Bifana is more famous.
that particular restaurant uses mortadela , not the biggest fan of it but some people really love it
also the types of meat inside being from the local market really influences the flavour
Can confirm, bifana is amazing
I tried Vietnamese sandwiches and also from other Countries and I really agreed the Vietnam sandwiches are the best. Note: I am not from Vietnam.
Vietnam FTW! I have to admit I do love a good Philly Cheesesteak too but the Banh Mi is my absolute favorite!

@@KraljOsovina To be honest, I think you ate a different version of Bánh Mì or not the authentic one. Because in my entire life, grilled pork Bánh Mì has never come with pâté. Also, all of his Bánh Mì videos are not authentic, including this one. It is 20% wrong, I think, because of a lack of ingredients, and also grilled pork Bánh Mì must have sweet fish sauce because the grilled pork we use has a lot of fat. Pâté only goes with cold cut Bánh Mì because it lacks fat.

regardless, it still wouldnt beat the banh-mi
As an Italian I was mildly pissed, losing to the Vietnamese sandwich but man, that Banh Mi looks scrumptious and I can't wait to make one at home. Also, we lost to the winner, so there's that 😅
Dont be sad. I had very great sandwiches in italy. When I worked there I would get porchetta nearly every day and it represented 5 minutes of absolute heaven for me in a stressful work enviroment. If you ever in the chance of getting an authentic saigon style banh mi, I think, you would understand why so many people like it. I will recommend to be particular with the recipe because it is a sandwich that relies more on the combination of the right ingredients more than quality of one ingredient (like the porchetta, it was just that but it was so good in itself)
I can’t wait to go to Napoli to have that! I get it on my Insta and Facebook feed all the time and looks amazing especially when you factor that all the ingredients are fresh and high quality
I would take that mortadella sandwich all day any day over any of the others. People who’ve never had it are missing out.
Come on man, you guys have everything else that's amazing.
The Italian sandwich would have won for me. Not just that one, but mostly any Italian sandwich with prosciutto or porchetta. My only close contender is France though - hard to beat the simplicity of a good quality bread, butter and ham!

The Döner how it is served today, in the flatbread is indeed something that was first done in Germany.
The Turkish owner of a restaurant realized, that Germans tend to take their food in their Lunchbreaks "Auf die Hand" which means literally "On the hand", or simply to go.
So him serving all the incredients on a plate didn't work, so he put it in the flatbread.
So without two cultures clashing, it doesn't exist at all the way it does today.

This is the way
@@vn0m427 yes sandwhich is sandwhich damn it!
Fr they all look absolutely delicious
The great thing about something like a PCS is that you can customize it a bit with bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and some kind of spicy peppers to give it some more texture and flavor. Yes people will argue about the cheese but overall it’s a great sandwich to tailor.
Vietnamese sub is the best sub in the world without a doubt
7:41 argentina won france again if you know
😂❤
segundo? francia
That first Argentina goal was stolen though
Another coronación de gloria
@@joeletrambleur5267 From your mom? Just shut up and accept it nigga don't cry it's been 2 years
I can't believe that Croque Madame didnt represent France, that is by a landslide their best sandwich.
Kinda makes me mad that they choose jambon beurre over croque monsieur, i mean jambon beurre is what kids eats here in France.
i would view a jambon beurre as more of a sandwich than a croque madame because it’s just a sandwich variation of a croque monsieur while a jambon beurre is a sandwich of its own
Not a sandwich
@@ThanatozXIV not only kids, workers as well.
@@chalottecollins1779 yeah but it's still a sandwich. That version is just better because it also has the egg on top. But both are valid options because they're both sandwiches
really needed this
Proud to be Vietnamese! The grilled pork banh mi is just one of many amazing varieties available 🤤🤤
Thank you for your vote ❤️ i hope you can travel vietnam and you can enjoy extra food in our country which is also really good like phở, bún chả, nem nướng,... They are tasted suitable with almost everyone
Josh: A good baguette is crucial in a good Banh Mi.
And then he proceeds to use a wheat flour baguette instead of a rice flour one like in Vietnam. Dude!
we still use wheat flour to make baguette. but the process of baking is a bit different for a different result than French baguette. Our crust is more crunchy and the inside is fluffy.
2:35 wwhhattt?????
I'm Lebanese and I'm mad rn
@@PurpleGamerKid i am italian and i am biased, but win deserved
Nah. I aint trying to start a fight but being first eliminated just makes me mad @sicktaiz
@@PurpleGamerKid literally shawarma is at leaaasstt top three i was shocked
@@lubnaalghamdi3722 ik bro that'd crazy
one thing as a Vietnamese I'd say, U FORGOT THE SAUCE IN BÁNH MÌ
Visually, I'd give all the sandwiches a perfect 10/10
All the love for you from Lebanon Joshua. I Love You
Thank you for choosing Lebanon🇱🇧
I was really touched espcially when you were pronouncing the Arabic words. The Shawarma you made was similar but the authentic in Lebanon differs a little with bit touches. But anw really proud of you and your content, All Tha Best Joshua

While the Döner Kebap meat did not come from Germany, the idea of putting it into a sandwich _was_ done here by a Turkish immigrant. In Türkije, before reimporting putting it into a sandwich, Döner Kebap was always on a plate, like Gyros… which weren’t put into pita bread until it got reimported. And Gyros are essentially an imported Döner (both mean the same thing: turned, and Greek even used Döner for awhile before translating it to the local word), more often than not now, Gyros are pork, but Döner is either beef, lamb, or chicken, because of Muslim food culture.
Yea man that makes it german putting a turkish dish in a turkish flatbread makes it GERMAN😂😂😂😂😂
Argentina’s sandwich is SANDWICHE DE MILANESA!!! So a sandwich with milanesa (fried breaded beef or chicken), cheese, ham, tomato, lettuce and mayo! But I’m glad you tried choripan, I just wouldn’t call it a sandwich
