The peanuts... Can't say I ever had it that way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

For someone lives in the country since he was born, yea, me neither have mine with peanuts.

Get rid of that evil cilantro, ruins a great looking banh mi!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Gonna have to downvote you on that because most of the time, cilantro is in bánh mì. Nothing wrong with it, stop being a little baby and eat your greens.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm gonna have to downvote you on this.

We ain't being a baby. Coriander/Cilantro is a genetic thing. You either love it, or you hate it. We can't help not liking it.

I find it tastes like soap and overpowers everything it's put into. So if you want to know my experience, cut up a bar of soap and put it into your salad like it's some sort of weird cheese and try eating it. It's not a good experience.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't get the soap taste, but it's incredibly disgusting and ruins whatever it touches for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You probably also think water tastes too bland and drink soda instead huh

Why so angry? It's legitimately a genetic thing, cilantro is basically inedible for some people. There's plenty of papers documenting this, it's not some made up preference or anything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No way wtf. My apologies to the inedible cilantro people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No. Why would I? I'm not a fucking idiot like you hahahaha

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Also... I live in Vietnam but I'm in Laos right now, cilantro or not, now you made me crave banh mi and I feel like I should go back home to get some 😅 Usually eat two a day, every day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's probably just genetics.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I live in Vietnam, first thing I learned how to say was no cilantro 😅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm only agreeing with you due to allergies.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Looks a little dry tbh, but that can be hard to tell from a picture.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How do you close this? And where is the secret lard sauce?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You stick a knife in the middle, firmly close the top and slide out the knife.

It closed surprisingly easily. The bread was crunchy on the outside, but gave way easily on the inside. There were many small ingredients rather than a few big ones, so the sandwich was quite formable.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'd like a video or gif of the banh mi closing

Oh alright. I ordered another one.

Also for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It looks tasty but it also looks expensive. I lived off of $2 bahn mi sandwiches when I first moved to LA. Now even the street tacos are expensive.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just buy $0.5 banh mi in Hanoi 💁

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck ya bro. I'm seven years in. How about you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Around 6 😂

No, I will not go with you to drink 🤣

Also, have you stayed here during covid? Because at that time it was really not many people, and everyone knows each other

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I've been living in Danang and Hoi An the entire time.

No drink needed 😉 I'm riding in Laos at the moment so not there anyway.

I was there for probably that first year and half of COVID, until that summer they stopped renewing visas and told a lot of us to go home (I've been on tourist visas the entire time) Went to Mexico for six months, as soon as the borders opened I came running back within the week.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been here, mostly in Hanoi the entire time

My good friend recently moved to Danang, next time for a visa run I would probably take a flight to Danang and then to the border there(because it's 150km)

We stayed here during covid the whole time, extensions, paid visas, illegally, with no money, it was fun 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's about 250km each direction. Taking a bus or riding yourself, it pretty much takes the entire day to go and come back. Made that ride hundreds of times now.

I've also overstayed for months at a time 😅 Overstayed twice and was still able to do a visa run an come back same day 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not 150km???? Because it's 250km from Hanoi to Laos

Also, the road should be way way better

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

About 150 from Hue. And Hue is 100 from Danang. Roads are fine, it's a pretty beautiful journey out there.

The town on the other side in Laos isn't much though, and if you have to stay awhile to wait for the new visa it's going to get pretty boring. Lao Bao is military so it takes a few days to update your exit to immigration...

You have work visa or just doing tourist visas over and over?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That looks great - except I see cucumber in there. Is it just me that finds the taste of cucumber really intrusive? Even if I pick it out I can still taste it on the stuff it's touched.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm with you. I can't stand cucumber.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, it tastes of abomination. Not too keen on the whole melon family TBH. I like gherkins though. I'll eat pretty much anything if it's pickled.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Would you eat Pickle Rick?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

as long as there aint no liver and shit
