Are Vietnamese sandwiches really just rabbit food in a hoagie roll?

I used to live in San Jose. Believe it or not there are actually snobs who hate that place passionately. To them it's like Chipotle but for vietnamese sandwiches.

Lee's bread is flavorless and dry. If you live near real Vietnamese (westminster or san jose or even oakland) you can get a superior sandwich at any local independent banh mi shop.

Lee's is OK if there are no other sandwich alternatives.

Just because the blogosphere had taught children in flyover land that there is a thing called banh mi doesn't mean they've tried it.

You'd be amazed what kinds of things pass for banh mi when no one in the area knows any better.

It's like a cronut from jim bob mcslavestater's corner bakery in jesustown alabama. It may be called a "cronut" but it doesn't taste anything like you expect.

I haven't been there since the early 90s so maybe I'm misremembering, but I don't recall it being flavorless or dry. Maybe they've declined in quality because they expanded or something?

The French taught them to make baguettes, the Americans introduced them to the submarine sandwich, they used their own locally available ingredients. If you can find a good place they are delicious and more or less healthy.

Top kek. Banh mi are a Vietnamese take on the French classic of a baguette stuffed with pate and cornichons, they didn't need any Americans to introduce them to the concept.

Neither of these statements is true.
Baguette is French.
There are many 'Italian breads' and baguette is not one of them.
The breads Americans call 'Italian bread' are Americanised forms of sfilatino napoletano or sfilatino palermitano.
Sfilatino napoletano is a shorter, fatter loaf of sourdough slashed two or three times (twice on the top always but sometimes also once along the base of one side) and baked until quite dark and crunchy.
Sfilatino palermitano is about as long as a ficelle but has a few differences. One, it's crunchier, two it's often (not always) coated in seeds, three, it's leavened with sourdough rather than baker's yeast and four, it's halfway in thickness between ficelle and baguette. It is also often slashed in a zigzag, snake-like pattern rather than several parallel diagonal slashes, though neither of these two slash patterns is uncommon.
American versions of these breads tend to be softer crusted than their European originals, made so by adding lecithin or other dough conditioners.
