Was having a friendly discussion about food with friends on discord and was showing them a vietnamese pork roll and chicken roll I had just purchased also known as banh mi and they were confused and were asking many questions about it which led me to believe that it might not be as well known or common maybe over in EU as it is down here in Australia (it had become very popular I would say as long as I have been alive and buying food for myself so nearly 25 years now most likely even more).
So my question is do most of Europe know about the Vietnamese banh mi which I believe was even inspired or originated from French cuisine.
For reference my friends nationalities were German, Swiss, French, Swedish and one non european an American from the South.
I couldn't tell if they were trolling me or not friendly of course or that they really had not heard about it before.
For example we are all aware of kebabs in this friend group and of course pizza etc even po boys but a banh mi was alien to them so is it known in Europe? or maybe only in certain parts like France?
For those who might still be confused what I am referring to here is a good article describing it hopefully it is not geo region locked
