banh mi

/ˈbɑːn miː/
/ˈbɑːŋ miː/

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Vietnamese bánh mì (“bread; sandwich”).

noun banh mi · banh mis · bánh mì

A Vietnamese sandwich, typically served on a baguette, and somewhat resembling a submarine sandwich. You will think this is a produce store or market, but never would you guess that inside, sweet Vietnamese ladies will make you a banh mi to rival all banh mis, and that noodle soups and plate lunches can be pumped out of here like nobody's business.
Similar: Vietnamese sandwich
