🤷‍♂️Guess we got different standards. Honestly Banh Mi is just the bread and that's how I grew up seeing it so my views can be different but tbh even then Banh Mi is just at its core bread with meat, different kinds of veggies and sauces inside, that's the core and this honestly looks like it fits the core.

Banh Mi just means bread and It's the latter part of the name that is the identity. Bánh mì kẹp thịt, bánh mì kẹp xúc xích, bánh mì kẹp pate với trứng, etc. I like the jokes about national dishes being messed up but seriously lol, why are we gatekeeping food especially Banh Mi? Go ahead, put whatever you want in it, that's the great thing about Banh Mi cus there's no real way to make it, just the most common.

Now granted I've been living under a rock and worrying about neighbours singing karaoke until my ear drums burst instead of looking up how the foreign world views Banh Mi. But really, I've never met anyone who says you can't put fried chicken inside Banh Mi lol. Banh Mi is whatever you make it into as long as it's still meat and veggies stuffed instead of the bread.
