Foods that are for poor people in their country of origin suddenly spike in price when served in richer countries. Banh mi is like a dollar in Saigon but almost 9 in the US.
It’s also partially just the truth of supply chains. I’m from the US, but live in Germany and the peaches here are simply always going to be more expensive for a worse peach (I’m sure somewhere in Italy or Spain can produce good peaches, but I haven’t had them yet).
Though it was weird that bahn exists in the US when we have sub places in the US. Never ordered a bahn mi when pho is on the menu, but they look like small subs
Yeah it’s basically a sub with thai spices and sauces instead of mustard ketchup etc – there’s lots of places that are only bahn mi and nothing else, it’s getting quite popular.
