Country Of Origin: Vietnam 🇻🇳

In Vietnamese cuisine, bánh mì is a short baguette with a thin, crisp crust and soft, airy texture. It is often split lengthwise and filled with savory ingredients like a submarine sandwich and served as a meal. A typical Vietnamese roll or sandwich is a fusion of meats and vegetables from native Vietnamese cuisine such as chả lụa (pork sausage), coriander leaf (cilantro), cucumber, pickled carrots, and pickled daikon combined with condiments from French cuisine such as pâté, along with red chili and buttery mayonnaise. The baguette was introduced to Vietnam by the French in the mid-19th century, during the Nguyen dynasty and became a staple food by the early 20th century.

History: The bánh mì sandwich was born in Saigon in the late 1950s. When Vietnam split into two countries in 1954, approximately one million northerners fled to the south. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. Le, who are credited as the first to ever create what we now call the bánh mì sandwich. They were the first people to actually put the ingredients inside the bread so the customers could take it with them. This was long before plastic and styrofoam made everything portable.
