Crisp @bánh mì rolls{4} in a 400°F (200°C) #oven{} ~bake{4%min}, then split each one along a single edge so it stays hinged, and pull a little crumb out of the top half to make room.

Spread @&(~1)split rolls{} with @unsalted butter{2%Tbs}(30 g; soft) on the top cheek, and @mayonnaise{1/4%cup}(60 mL) and @pork liver pâté{1/3%cup}(80 g) on the bottom. The sandwich's mayonnaise is not quite the Deli's: whole egg plus an extra yolk, so it is looser, paler and a little sweet, and it goes on thick rather than smeared.

Layer @&(~1)dressed rolls{} with @chả lụa{8%oz}(225 g; sliced paper-thin), @thịt nguội{4%oz}(115 g; any sliced pork cold cut), @đồ chua{1%cup}(drained hard), @cucumber{1/2}(in long batons), @cilantro{1%cup}(whole sprigs, stems on) and @bird chiles{2}(sliced), shake @Maggi seasoning{1%tsp} down the middle, then close it and press once with the heel of your hand. Đặc biệt means the special — whatever the case holds that morning — so the three cold cuts above are one shop's answer to a rule rather than the rule itself. Swap in giò thủ, chả chiên or head cheese and it is still the number one.
