Saigon Banh Mi 1

As you enter, a woman peels long stalks of sugarcane by the front door to make fresh juice, and farther inside this new shop a fascinating collection of snacks is displayed: sticky rice in lurid shades of green, yellow, and red; thick jackfruit chips; chewy mung bean cakes and crunchy mung bean cookies; cans of pâté; and nems, garlic-cured pork sausages usually eaten raw. More substantial are banh mi, Vietnamese heroes made with French bread, including a delicious chicken version dressed with chile sauce and mayo and heaped with cucumbers, pickled slaw, and cilantro.
