    And the banh mi in Vietnam? It is only a question of how superb, I'm sure.
    I would very much recommend Saigon and, if you fancy a beach bit, Phu Quoc. The beaches of the north and central belt are a bit touristy. People love Hanoi but I found it a bit grim.

    The banh mi are beyond description. I've never had less than wonderful experience of banh mi whilst in country.

    One, I recall, assembled by an old lady pushing a cart who stank like a Vietnamese open sewer, was a thing of such beauty I was tempted to tear out my tongue so that it could never be subsequently sullied by mere mortal flavours.

    Terrific stuff.
    I'm off Journey's End for life, I'm afraid. Endless school productions of it involving boys with false moustaches and prominent Adam's Apples drinking cold tea masquerading as whisky killed it for me.

    My place used to produce it pretty much every year. I was even in one of them.

    My filling was delicious. You failed badly when it came to the baguettes, though, I fear

    I last had one at a pretty non-descript place near Tottenham Court Road. Both the chap at the counter and the woman cooking looked Vietnamese.

    I had the pork belly. It was quite stunning. I could only imagine what they're like in the Nam.
