Vietnamese Sandwich (Banh-Mi)
This is no ordinary sandwich! Banh Mi is an euro-asian take on submarine sandwiches, featuring a crunchy-on-the-outside-chewy-in-the-inside baguette, filled with pate spread, daikon radish and carrot relish, slices of jalapenos, sprigs of cilantro and meat choices such as sardines, barbecued pork, grilled chicken, ham, and head cheese slices.

Makes 4 Servings
Ingredients
2 10-inch length baguettes
1/2 cup daikon radish (sliced to matchsticks)
1/2 cup carrot (sliced to matchsticks)
jalapeno slices
sprigs of fresh cilantro
liverwurst spread
mayonnaise
ham slices
1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
salt and pepper
Procedure
Marinate daikon and carrot strips in vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to taste, until slightly softened and flavors are absorbed by the vegetables. Drain, disposing marinade.
Slice baguettes to make sandwiches. Spread liverwurst and mayonnaise on both sides of bread. Layer ham slices. Top with daikon-carrot relish, jalapeno slices and cilantro sprigs.
Cut each baguette into 2 and serve.
