Saturday is our new take-out day. I usually feel a little cooking burnout by the end of the week so I thought Saturday would be a good day for having dinners that I would not normally make at home. Saturday we had banh mi sandwiches from Lee’s Sandwiches. Normally I get their vegetarian banh mi but due to some sort of renovations going on the vegetarian banh mi was pulled from the menu. I decided on grilled pork instead. It was fine but not as good as my usual vegetarian sandwich.

Banh mi are Vietnamese sandwiches filled with various meats, pickled vegetables, jalapeño slices, and cilantro. They seem a combination of Vietnamese foods and French rolls probably from the fact that Vietnam was a long time possession of France. It is definitely a good combination!
