I had a Vietnamese sandwich from Sau Voi Corp for lunch today. It looks like a typical, nondescript deli/bodega on the outside, but it is worth ignoring appearances because their sandwiches are delicious and cheap - all of their sandwiches are 3 dollars.
I had the classic, which contains pâté, ham, turkey, cucumber, shredded carrots and daikon, cilantro, mayonnaise and hot sauce on a warm, crunchy mini-baguette.
By the way, these sandwiches are called "banh mi" in Vietnamese, which is almost as funny as "BangMi". The banh mi come with hot sauce already, but I like mine covered with extra cock sauce for that extra kick. Add a cup of dark Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk and we start to border on the sublime.

You’re on an Asian kick, ‘pears to be. If you ever get back to cooking solo, you’ve got to have a look at that 3 and 4 ingredient cookbook I bought. It rocks! $6.00 at Costco.
Let’s bang me together.
