Wow. I just decimated a homemade banh mi. And by homemade banh mi, I mean that it was barely a banh mi but it was homemade. I used homemade bread, homemade pickles (cucumber and shredded carrots), avocado (not homemade. I did once try to grow my own avocado tree using the pit from a storebought avocado and it grew to about 30cm then my mother threw it away. Monster), beetroot (no comment on homemade-ness), chicken (not homemade and I think this is the main factor that disqualifies this sandwich from being a banh mi as it should really contain some sort of Asian pork product, preferably in the shape of a manmade roll or similarly unnatural dimensions), coriander (well, I bought it myself. That makes it homemade, in my book), mayonnaise (as if I would make my own mayo) and pate using homemade chicken livers.
That last one was a lie. I did not make nor use my own homemade pate.
It was tasty. But then the bread fell apart as all the pickle juice seeped through. In the end, it was a pink gloopy mess from the beetroot but it was delicious.
I am making homemade burgers tonight. I really like bread.
