According to chef Michelle Wallace, the owner of B'tween Sandwich Co., the best bread substitute for bánh mì sandwiches is a Mexican Bolillo bun, which has a similar texture to the Vietnamese baguette traditionally used. The crusty exterior and soft, pillowy crumb makes it perfect for a bánh mì! This indicates how integral the bread's texture is to the overall experience of this beloved sandwich.
The Vietnamese baguette, characterized by its delicate crust and airy inside, is not merely a replica of the French version but represents empowerment and cultural integration after its introduction during the French Colonial Period. This sandwich thus becomes more than just a food item; it reflects a blend of identities, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Vietnam.
