Spam Banh Mi

"This reminds me of the quirky musubi, so don’t beat me up over this combo. Both are pretty darn good.  From Spam.   Special Note:  I’ve read that during the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese women would make spam Banh Mi using the American soldiers rations. "

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
