You never really know if your friends really like you until you decide to take a nap on some train tracks and they decide to carry you home rather that just rolling you down off the track bed and leaving you. Don't do this either.

I don't know Aaron Sanchez by name, but I really hope he's a french chef or something. I've ran into plaintains once. Once. Since I left the northeast, and they were more brown than yellow, much less green. I need me some mofungo y tostones.

To be fair, he probably meant to say something to the effect of: "In practice, they are used in a manner more similar to root vegetables"

Plantain is used really different than bananas really so I can see where he was coming from. Although I've not used it much a green plantain is much more similar to say sweet potato than a banana.

Dear E/N, I was having a discussion today with a guy in a management position, and he was asking for advice. He obviously had made his mind up on doing something that was plain wrong, and when I pointed that out he kept iterating the same cretin argument, he had paid attention in management classroom training, because he kept trying to change the format of his explanation, using similitude to other cases and even tried to do a story telling through metaphors.. I was waiting for him to try and explain it through interpretive dance, but lost patience. I killed the discussion with telling him that 'You have obviously decided that you want my advice on what lubricant to use when inserting an object of elephantine proportion in your rectum, and expect me to give you the brand name of a good waterbased lubricant. Since I have never had a sphincter stretched to the extend you're describing, I wouldn't be able to assist you with any kind of experience.' The British can be so goddamn sensitive! I even tried to talk all posh..

Vietnamese is weirdly uncommon around here. There's literally six Thai places within a mile of my house, but there just aren't that many Vietnamese restaurants around here, and I've only found one place so far that serves banh mi instead of being a sit-down place. I had a short ribs sandwich and it was just overpowered by sweet soy. Like, I couldn't even taste the kimchee in it. I tried someone else's pulled pork sandwich and it had a really grainy texture that I didn't like, though it tasted all right.

if you had bahn mi and weren't over the moon, it's probably the place. I've had plenty of mediocre bahn mi, where the bread to filling ratios were all off, or the thing was too dry, or not spicy enough, or the meat was probably rancid, or blah blah. just find the right meat / restaurant combo, and you'll be in heaven. for me it's a 'combination' one at this place that has particularly airy and chewy bread. the meatloaf or sopping wet reddish whatever the hell it is meat product they put on it mixes with their aioli just right, and they load it up with jalapenos so it's like a crisp juicy spicy vessel of the gods. to contrast, the place I last had one had stale bread, meat that was completely unseasoned, no jalapenos, no mayo/aioli, and it literally made my mouth hurt trying to eat it. ugh.

I tried to eat the leftover half of sandwich but it's indedible. Look at that! It's black with sweet soy sauce! It's like biting into a sugar ball! You can't taste anything else!

Fresh bread counts for a lot in these little sandwiches. The traditional style with pate and head cheese is not for everyone, but generally the grilled chicken/pork options are awesome. drat that is some dark rear end meat

The Vietnamese strip mall I go to has 3-5 different delis and the quality range for more or less the same sandwich is remarkable. I like the meatball/pate ones the best and the meat quality makes such a huge difference.

That sounds a lot more like "sandwiches inspired by bahn mi" than actual authentic, basic bahn mi. BBQ (chargrilled) pork, and maybe beef, pork cold cuts, sardines, shredded chicken, meatballs, and pate are good signs.
