how in the fuck is it underrated? if you don't live in total bumpkin town where 90% of foreign cuisines are ""underrated"", you can't go 5 seconds without some retard jizzing over pho and bahn mi. I live in fucking Arizona and theres a vietnamese restaurant every few blocks

cà phê GOAT iced beverages.
I live near a suburb full of viets, so many little places with soups, bahn mi, bun cha.. it's good stuff

Where are you? Here in flyover Minnesota, I can get vegan banh mi 22 hours a day.

>>11325816
Some Vietnamese food is a fusion of local and French ingredients and techniques. The banh mi obviously is but many of the ingredients are unknown in French cuisine so it's definitely fusion and not French alone.

Most Vietnamese cuisine is not French at all though, only a handful of their dishes are related.

You could make your own, there are only two parts that are 'hard' to get, one is the pickled vegetables (daikon and carrot mostly) and the other is the bun.
You could use an actual baguette but there are also a lot of banh mi recipes online, look for one that uses a small portion of rice flour in the mix, that's likely to be closer to the original. Vietnamese bakeries in Vietnam never share their recipes, they're family secrets, so there's no official recipe and every bakery has their own version so you really just want to get close enough for you.

You can buy those pickled vegetables in Vietnamese and Chinese stores but you could also easily make your own, they're quick pickles, not slow six-month ones and making a 5-minute quick pickle with grated carrot/daikon will be fine.

Pate, cilantro/coriander, laughing cow cheese, grilled chicken with some spice rub, you can make or buy all that stuff yourself of course.

Actual quality posts on /ck/? It’s more likely than you think

>>11325816
who cares about the origin. are you trying to write a history book?

>>11326579
It's cultural appropriation and that offends me.

>>11325814
because of coriander

>>11325814
>chicken bahn mi
>the worst of the only relevant three

>>11326618
These were good the one time I tried them, but they cost like 5 euros for 2 of them.

I've spent a fair amount of time in Vietnam, studied Vietnamese there and even took a cooking class there once (rice paper rolls and something or other).

Vietnamese cooking isn't particularly difficult, it's just a different set of techniques and ingredients is all, it's easy enough to learn.

if vietnamese food is so awesome, why did you kill so many potential cooks

I hear Mark Whalberg's restaurant has a good Vietnamese sandwich.

>>11328234
classic marky mark, beats the fuck out of both blacks and chinks and then adopts their culture

>>11326563
no offense meant, but i think by far the hardest thing to replicate besides the bread is the pâté

>>11326873
And lemongrass

GFs parents run the best south viet restaurant around, and I get free food Everytime I come in.

Be jealous, /ck/

BTW, any of you Calibros who've never been to one of the infamous Vietnamese coffee shops in San Jose or Orange County, you're missing out. They don't go nude anymore (at least not in SJ, since SJPD started cracking down on that a few years ago), but lingerie coffee is still pretty enjoyable.

A hot bowl at Pho Queen in Clearwater. Surprisingly good - I didn't think central Florida had it in them.

>>11325814
That looks like garbage.
Bread looks like shit and too overdone
90% of those vegetables just taste like water, don't know why viets are so obsessed with literal edible water. All their dishes are just beansprouts and carrots and cucumbers

>>11328674
I bet your gf is ugly though so no I'm not

Ca Kho To is underrated comfort food

>>11328960
tastelet detected lmao

>>11328766
Oh shit, my brother took me out here on a birthday drink cause he knew I liked viet coffee.

>>11328766
I dislike attractive women

>>11330015
Then you'll love this place, judging by that image.

>the hardest thing to replicate besides the bread is the pâté
Yeah, you're probably right but I think once you spread it on a roll with pickles and grilled meat, it doesn't matter very much whether it was a French pâté or Vietnamese pâté. And actually I prefer the French one anyway.
So, I'd say that any pâté you can get would probably be fine. The Viet one is a bit chunkier I guess but it's still basically just pâté.

>mad mad mad
Wew, he mad.

>>11328766
