Since y'all insist on mispronouncing it or misspelling it as "Bahn Mi," please refer them as Viet Baguette. The word "banh mi" just mean sandwich or bread or baguette in Vietnamese. No need to be fancy and calling it "Banh mi." It sounds ridiculous since there is equivalent of it in the English language. It is like being in Utah and insisting on calling an apple "pomme." "Pho," however, is a unique word in Vietnam and there is no equivalent English translation for it, so we can keep "pho" in English.
Attention, white people! Please call it Viet Sandwich or Viet Baguette.

I used to buy these when they cost one or two bucks a pop in the 90s. Now they're overpriced and "glamorized" so I don't touch them unless I make one myself.

Can we get rid of "French dip" while we're at it? No French person has ever done that with a sandwich.

Bang mi, regardless of its literal translation, describes a particular style of sandwich in the US.

Pho sounds like the French word for fire, it doesn't rhyme with "toe".
Kind of like "full" without the "ll" at the end.

No one from Saigon would be so tacky as to call a Banh Mi a "Viet Sandwhich." No, you sound more like a Chinese Vietnamese CUNT from Hanoi or thereabouts.

Back in the 90s when a Viet sandwich shop opened up near where I was living, I ordered it so many times that I only had to step through the door and the woman would look up and say, Pate ham? So that's what I call it.

OP, you're wrong. Banh mi is the appropriate phrase to use for this sandwich (it signifies a mix of French influence -- French bread and pate-- and Vietnamese ingredients like pickled vegetables, cilantro, and hot peppers).
by Anonymous | reply 46 | May 27, 2020 2:40 AM |
R46, bitch please, the word banh mi straight up means bread, which then evolved to mean sandwich. Banh mi is literally meant bakery product of wheat. There is nothing east west hybrid for that word. Viet Baguette actually would imply its hybridized origin.
Stop smoking bad weed, dear R46.

I love the chicken, pate, and fried egg sandwiches. Hold the pickled carrots and hot peppers.
Those Asian peppers are hotter than any jalapenos I've ever eaten. When you eat them there's about a 3-second delay then the heat starts from the back of your throat and starts going to the front burning your mouth.
