Saigon Street Sandwich

You can buy a multitude of foods on the streets of any city in Vietnam - everything from famous Vietnamese pho's (noodle soups) to com tam (grilled pork with broken rice - one of my favorites) to 4-course meals to fresh fruits (whole or peeled/sliced portions). I love the sandwiches you can buy from street vendors like the one in this pic. A classic sandwich is a very fresh baguette with a pate, a little lettuce, tomato, sliced cucumbers - sometimes with "special sauces" but I like mine with classic Vietnamese fish sauce. Sandwiches come ready-made (see bottom shelf of cart in above pic) or can be tailor-made with whatever you want!
