Huh, I was expecting you to work in that cute couple playing Christmas songs in the annoying Kia commercials somehow in this thread. Eazy dough kit is pretty good though.originally posted by Eden Mylunsch:
A dermatologist once prescribed me some pimplemousse. It turned out that he was receiving a kickback from the pharmacy for this remedy. It came out in court that he referred to the scheme as "easy-dough zit".

I have friends in Vietnam & Thailand and from what I've heard the Vietnames would prefer the French back rather than Thor. The Thais are a mellow race but their patience is wearing thin also.

At least the French introduced bread and pate to Vietnam. I guess the creation of tasty sandwiches is one of the few benefits to imperialism.

Are banh mi as common in Vietnam as they are in the US? It's always possible that the diaspora have popularized it far beyond its popularity back in the Old Country. One only has to look for burritos in Mexico to appreciate that point.

Yule, where do you get good banh mi in DC? I love the sandwiches from Pho 14 but it's a pain in the ass to get there.
Banh mi (and Vietnamese in general) is tough in the District. There used to be a good banh mi shop next to Kanlaya at the Verizon Center, but I think it has closed. Probably Pho 14 is your best bet in the District (I have only had the pho...I'll order the banh mi there next time).
Of course, there is the Eden Center, but that is probably a bigger pain to get to than Columbia Heights. Even then, it would be hit or miss, depending on the specific shop you go to. I usually have a friend bring me to the good places, and he hasn't let me down, but I don't think I would be able to find them again because the place is so massive (also, I usually get hot dishes when I'm down there, and haven't tried any the banh mi there yet, though I'm sure the best shop there has to be as good if not better than Pho 14).
I also hear good things about Banh Mi DC Sandwich (which is in Falls Church).

More in the north than the middle and the south, in my experience. Of course, I only go to touristy places so who knows.
Tons of banh mi in Singapore as well, with the sprouting of Vietnamese restaurants and cafes in the last decade or so.
