Now you both have my undivided attention.

Partner will never make for me because she’s not a fan of white condiments and thinks cilantro tastes like soap but….

Both versions sound very interesting.

Like interesting e ough to consider getting up off my big fat tail and making it myself, imagine that…

In Vietnam, they had bread that was basically tender like milk bread, but with a slightly stronger crust, so just grabbing it, no matter how carefully would result in compressing the inner bun while fracturing the crust.

That's not really a banh mi, banh mi is on a French roll, typically with mayo, paté, various protein options (Vietnamese cold cuts are common, grilled pork/chicken, meatballs/sausage, tofu, etc), pickled carrots and daikon radish, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeños. At least from my experience. I'm not sure how strict a definition it has, but it definitely comes on a French roll. They're absolutely delicious, I highly recommend you try one! That other sandwich sounds good too though.

Since it's "good to be specific."
