That translates to “bread sandwiches.” 
Do you mean Vietnamese sandwiches?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_(sauce)
The vast majority of moles are made with chocolate or cacao. If I recall, in Mexico, if it didn’t have cacao or chocolate then we called it adobo.
LMFAO, I cringed too. I like Mayonnaise but that scene made me not put any on my sandwiches for a couple weeks.
Yes, I mean banh mi sandwiches, as it’s popularly known. I wouldn’t use that term to be talking about what is essentially a French baguette.
Y’all need to fly over to the Philippines, eat our greasy food and die happily of cardiac arrest.
Naw, lechon is a suckling pig roasted over a slow fire, everybody loves that shizz. The ones made in Cebu put that Balinese suckling pig to shame, dripping in fat and flavour, you don’t even need no sauce to eat it.
Mentioned it in an earlier post where I even gave a variation where you use crispy fried pork (barring that, pork rind or chicharon) and simply pour the sauce on top.
Totally off topic, but I like how his nick translates into Mr. Pervert in Filipino/Tagalog.
Balut & penoy.
Mexicans eat shit from carts that people would be perplexed buying here, I bet. Jícama and chicharrones from carts doused in hot sauce… elote (corn) slathered in mayo, grated queso fresco, limón (lime to you crazy gringos who switch everything around) and chile…
To this day, I believe that this is Spain’s greatest gift to her former colonies.
My favorite is what we call “chicharon bulaklak” (flower chicharrón) which is basically pig guts, so named because they look like flowers in bloom.
Ahhh, I see. I just did a quick search and I stand corrected. What a strange name to have spawned. :wasted:
I’m Vietnamese and the term “banh mi sandwich” makes absolutely no sense. “Banh mi” basically translates to “bread” in my language. However, it could also translate to “sandwich” if followed by another word.
Banh mi = bread (any bread, not specifically baguettes)
Banh mi thit = Meat Sandwich
Banh mi ga = Chicken Sandwich
“Banh mi sandwich” just means “bread sandwich” or “sandwich sandwich” to me. Oh, well.
Technically banh is “bread” and “mi” is noodles which is made from wheat flour.
Vietnam doesn’t have wheat flour, so we use “mi” our words to call the Chinese noodles the same as bread from the west also made from wheat flour. So banh mi is a bread made of flour.
For example Vietnamese Crepe is called “banh xeo” and not banh mi xeo.
Or Vietnamese steamed rice cake is called banh beo, and not ban mi beo.
At the end of the day if you see “banh” it just basically mean something that you can stuff things inside or on top… I mean that as simple as it gets.
Okay… yea sorry I am bored… don’t ask.
i’m viet too so i’ll jump in. banh mi usually just means a viet sandwich with stuff inside brought in a store but at home its just plain bread. also the best viet sandwiches are from the mom n pop stores. lee sandwiches franchises all their stuff now.
No need to apologize, I found the discussion to be edifying.
Yea what happened to Lees?
I was in Cali their opening day and it was amazing.
I went back a few months ago and it taste like ass.
What happened!
What about the Nom Nom truck? I see that there is a lot of hype surrounding it, but is it actually legit?
I know I’m late to the party and all, but are we talking catfish with grits on the side or grits with bits of catfish IN them?
Either way. :china: And when y’all say canned corned beef, are you talking about corned beef hash? That shit is good mixed with grits…too bad that shit will kill you after awhile. :lol:
Have you read the nutrition label? :lol: And I swear use lard to make it…pure, rich, greasy lard. Now I want and egg and has sandwich now. 
-Squirrel
It’s good fried, or you can boil it and make squirrel stew. It’s like rabbit stew but has more of that “game” taste. I prefer it.
-Deer (venison)
I find it baffling that people won’t eat this. It’s just like really good, really flavorful beef.
-Raccoon
I’ve only had this a few times, but I enjoyed it. It’s like squirrel but not as good.
-Beef Heart
My mom makes a stew out of the hearts of the cattle that she has taken to the slaughterhouse. It’s very rich and minerally.
-Beef Tongue
This is great in the form of taco meat, by itself, or as a stew meat. It looks wicked sitting the freezer though
-It never even occurred to me that people don’t eat chicken liver in the north.
-A tall glass of buttermilk + livercheese sandwich = heaven
-I eat turnips raw. Just pick them up out of the field, cut em up and eat them.
-Persimmons. These fall off trees in some places in kentucky. They’re horribly bitter if you don’t pick them up at the right time, and the usually look nasty even when they’re ripe. But I like the taste of them when they’re good, very sweet with a little bit of the bitterness still there.
-Souse/head cheese. I’m addicted to it. But it has so much sodium in it I try to limit my intake.
-Various pickled things. Most people don’t like pickled beets/onions/etc
-Anchovies on a pizza are pretty good.
-Veal. My mom and dad own cattle and they only slaughter an animal if they can’t sell it. Usually this is an injured calf. So I’ve gotten used to the taste of veal. It’s very lean, and has a stronger taste to it. Similar to bison or venison.
Drinking…buttermilk? How does that even work? I accidentally put that on my cereal one time, and my tongue tried to revolt from my head.
Let me think.
Pasta with wasabi and cheese (switch up wasabi for mustard when I feel like a change)
Crumpets with chocolate spread and cheese spread at the same time…
Oh and chicken fried rice with both sweet and sour and curry sauce mixed (freaks the shit out of everyone I do it in front of but that stuff is hella tasty)
Though cheese and fried rice too…cheese, cheese and more cheese.
Tuna + Salad dressing + Pizza is also godlike.
First you have to make sure you shake the hell out of the jug. This is essential. Then pour a small glass (or huge if you’re my dad) and sip on it to begin. After starting in on the sandwich then you can start to take gulps. It’s a very good compliment to salty/meaty foods.
