I went there with friends for lunch today, and as soon as the banh mi arrived, our animated conversation fell silent as we wolfed down the pork sandwiches--with fresh dill instead of cilantro. So satisfying and so cheap. Best lunch ever.

And I know you have GREAT taste in food =)<br /><br />My fave banh mi would have to be with shredded chicken. Unfortunately, every banh mi place I've been to in Austin doesn't have shredded chicken =/<br /><br />I think pork paste is pork that's super grounded til it's like moosh and then it's fried and/or grilled. Kinda like the shrimp balls / fish balls found in some soup dishes. I'm not sure, so please don't take my word on that. That's just my guessJulie Boolie Tranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14399930232676530218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953481555640843862.post-51980754987740507332011-03-25T16:36:03.735-05:002011-03-25T16:36:03.735-05:00That is a gorgeous looking sammie!

It exists in a town with quite good Southeast Asian restaurants, and even one or two that have banh mi on the menu, albeit as an appetizer. Coda wandered into unchartered territory, where the small sandwich shop is almost unheard of. The result is some 8 or 9 banh mi, a smattering of cold dishes to be taken away, and perhaps the most delicious of francoviet negotiations: the pork pate chaud. I was just there earlier this week, and now your beautiful pictures have triggered a serious craving. Thanks!Peterhttp://www.deliciouslibertine.comnoreply@blogger.com
