CNN names Vietnamese Banh mi among world’s best sandwiches
Hanoi (VNA) - CNN Travel has included banh mi (Vietnamese
baguettes) among its top 24 sandwiches in the world in
2023.
According
to the website, Banh mi can be easily found at street vendors and food carts
everywhere. This is not only a popular breakfast/lunch/dinner to Vietnamese
people, but also well-known and beloved by many foreign visitors.
It is regularly
ranked in the list of delicious dishes that foreign tourists must try when visiting
Vietnam.
CNN said the classic version is pork-based,
starring cha lua (Vietnamese-style pork roll), shredded pickled carrots,
pickled daikon, cilantro leaves, mayonnaise and other ingredients. Depending on the region, travelers can taste different kinds of
banh mi with various fillings. "The taste is crunchy, fresh,
savory, and utterly delicious," CNN said.
The
criteria for CNN’s list are being a famous sandwich that represents a country,
having a delicious taste and being loved by locals.
Besides
banh mi, three other Asian representatives were Shawarma and Falafel pita
sandwiches (Middle East) and Katsu sando (Japanese fried pork cutlet sandwich
with shredded cabbage)./.
