it’s not a baguette.
It’s a Bánh Mì.
A what!?
Clare at Diep writes:
Diep, Dublin’s finest Thai food delivery service are very excited about the launch of their Diep Banh Mì Sandwich. A Bánh Mì (Vietnamese for bread ) is the fusion of French baguette and Vietnamese taste. The sandwich holds all of the most flavoursome ingredients of Vietnamese cuisine with a delicate balance of herbs and spices.
Splendid.
Inside the crisp bread of the Diep Bánh Mì Mì you will find cucumber, coriander, mint, pickled carrot marinated in either chicken satay or braised rending beef.
Got it.
At €5.50 you are getting a whole lot more value and taste for your money than with a regular sandwich.
Stop that.
To celebrate our new Banh Mi sandwich we will give away a meal for TWO (yes two) Broadsheet readers, TWO starters, TWO mains and bottle of wine delivered this weekend. To enter just Just complete this sentence:
‘I could really use this free Diep meal and wine for two this weekend because…..’

The Diep Bánh Mì is available at Blackrock, Dundrum, Templeogue and Drumcondra branches during lunchtime from 12noon to 2.30pm Monday to Friday.
Update: Winner

welcome to mortgage slavery.
It’s pretty sobering alright.
you’ll never feel young again. It’s hell.
Its still cheaper then renting.
Yeah, but at least with renting you can escape. You can’t escape a mortgage. It shortens your life.
Renting where i live would cost over double what my mortgage is, i think my life span is just fine with that.
Hope you win the Lotto.
Sure is. Some renters say mortgagees are under the cosh of a bank. Prefer to pay a bank (even an Irish one) than a private landlord! Having said that….doesn’t suit everyone and not everyone has a choice.

I could really use this free Diep meal and wine for two this weekend because I went to the deli at my local Centra and asked for a vietnamese sandwich. The dour looking teen behind the counter took offence to being asked for something other than ham and cheese sambo and within minutes a major argument ensued.

Put it in a baguette. Et voila, un Banh Mi.
‘I could really use this free Diep meal and wine for two this weekend because…..’
….. because we eat so much Diep we should have shares in the place by now!! ;) also got engaged last week so it would be a nice way to escape the exciting fuss and just have a night in, the 2 of us, with some yummy Diep!!! xxx
Marriage is the pits. Get out of it before you tie the knot.
You’re so negative you almost deserve the Diep to cheer you up! :)
If your husband to be proposed to you over christmas/ new year, he’ll turn out to be a boring fecker. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Well like everybody else , in the middle of a month from Hell (Oh say the bosses…we’ll pay you early in December…tis a great idea … SURE IT IS !!!!) ….so getting a free meal for two and wine will have the effect of for at least Saturday afternoon (projected ordering time) I can wallow in blissful and wilful ignorance, and pretend that I can actually afford a take out …with WINE!!!
Also if I don’t win … a puppy gets it!!!
I could really use this free Diep meal and wine for two this weekend because…
it sounds like the perfect cure for the January blues
You could do with giving me this free meal and booze as I’m currently a regular Saba to go customer, I even dabble with the odd camille so converting me could be beneficial to the long term health of your business.

I could really use this free Diep meal and wine for two this weekend because it sounds absolutely scrumptious, I’m broke and tired from a hellish week and would honestly like nothing more than having a quiet movie night in with diep and the boy. :)
I could really use this free Diep meal and wine for two this weekend because I’d like to treat my city-living sister & her husband to it as I live outside the pale and haven’t the price of the petrol to Dublin. Also, because you never told us who won the funderland tickets (sob)…..
I could really use this free Diep meal and wine for two this weekend because…..Me and my husband are moving house this weekend during this awful weather and there is just soup in the cupboard at the moment (and the past week) our taste buds are bored! Also, I LOVE these subs…LOVE LOVE LOVE.
I could really use this free Diep meal and wine for two this weekend because my boss is a massive d***head and this would make me feel a lot better after a week dealing with him. Plus your Moo Khing was one of my greatest food discoveries this christmas.
I could really use this free Diep meal,
You don’t know how my tastebuds would feel,
Being a poor student currently studying for an exam,
With study fuel consisting only of soup, or if lucky- a slice of Tesco Basics ham,
My friends talk of their J1’s or travelling Asia for this Summer’s holiday,
Whilst I wait in angst until the end of the month, for my measly part-time pay,
I guess the closest I’d get to Vietnam would be the Bánh Mì Mì from Diep,
So please, Broadsheet, give it to me, I’d be forever in your debt!
I could really do with this free Diep meal and wine for two this weekend because; my gas bill arrived on Tuesday.
I’m still not right with the fright. And the ire. Gouging Bastards. Not only was it the guts of two hundred yoyos more than any before…. I’ve shut down the timer. Early morning boosts only from now on. Me nose is frozen. Please let me have yere finest chili and coriander concoction before ice takes over.
And I’ve never had Vietnamese grub before.
And I’m broke till May
2016
Jaysus I’d love t’win this one
I’m with you on the gas bills. PR*CKS! Your bill has probably gone up to pay for their new branding.
‘Swear t’ya
I just could not believe the number on it
Especially as it was so mild
And I’d deliberately shut off the timer most evenings
I’m deffo going t’rethink this home heating n stuff
Even if I have t’upgrade significantly
Anything t’keep those gounging ücks licking their lips
Equaliser payments Frill….lightens the blow.
Finally, somewhere to grab a Bánh Mì close to home. They are delish.
Liked and shared x
Where’s Owen the big soft yolk and I give him an aul hug :)
Congrats Owen
With love and the clamp,
Clampers.
Congrats, Owen (through gritted teeth).
I can say now, coz I haven’t won, that those photos of the Banh Mi look fairly manky.
Good man Owen! We’ve had our run-ins …. all under the Bridge on the River Kwai. Enjoy yizzer Pho ;)
