Well, the traditional Vietnamese sub is lard (it's definitely not butter), mystery meat (actually I think it's some type of pork), pickled carrots, cucumber, peppers and cilantro. Back in the day, when you ordered a vietnamese sub, there was only that one choice. Now vietnamese sub places have expanded on the choice of toppings to allow consumer choice and the more things they add to it, the farther it gets away from what I would define as a Vietnamese sub. Nothing beats the original still, IMO.

As for what I'm craving? A nice traditional Sichuan hot pot. They just don't make it the same here.
