Apart from being the general word for bread in Vietnam, banh mi also refers to a short baguette which is soft on the inside, while having a crispy thin crust on the outside; normally, this sandwich-like creation is cut and a variety of fillings are added; in Quy Nhon, restaurants and eateries may add fillings such as pate, cured ham or pork, as well as vegetables, pickles or herbs which add to the flavour.
