Eat a Bánh mì

     When I watched the Great Food Truck Race I learned something new about food.  There was a Vietnamese sandwich that I was completely unaware of up to this point in my 38 years.  AND IT HAS CILANTRO.  How could I have been so ignorant to miss something that highlights the pure joy such as cilantro.  Today as I perused the menu for the usual familiar things I tend to stick with... THERE IT WAS!!!  It didn't dawn on me at first.  I was reading the description backwards for some reason almost as if it was setting me up for the taaaaa daaaa as I read the title.  I plopped my menu down, perked up in my seat and smiled at the new culinary adventure I was about to partake in. 
     It was wonderful.  Crispy baguette, crunchy cucumbers, tender ham and fresh herbs...mmmm mmmm.  I was truly excited.  I was proud that I branched out of my safe little zone of the known.  As I sat there devouring my new find I reflected on my challenge.  55 new things in and I am realizing how special it really is to just push yourself a little bit even if it's just getting me a mi.
