VIETNAMESE SANDWICHES

     From the NEW YORK POST, 12 July 2000, pg. 46, col. 1:

     MANHATTAN'S latest edible trend is the Vietnamese sandwich.
     Created by Le Colonial executive chef _Hoc Van Tran_ at _NEM_--a new
Southeast Asian to-go in Grand Central Terminal--the sandwiches are
assembled
on fresh baked rolls with a dollop of pate, shredded carrots, daikon,
cucumber and cilantro with a choice of marinated grilled pork, sirloin,
shrimp, chicken breast or vegetables.
     "They were a specialty of my childhood," says Hoc.

     I didn't find the name "Vietnamese sandwich" used in Vietnam.
