Several years ago I stopped at an asian market in a mid-sized city
(where i no longer live) to stock up. At the checkout counter was a
box containing small (apx 8") sub type sandwiches selling for 75c
(US). Because they were so cheap, I got one just to see what it was.
I can remember it having sev types of meat, one a small baloney type,
and another a gelitinized meat roll like head cheese. It also had
cilantro and cucumber, but I don't know what else. All I know is how
fantastic that thing tasted!!! I remember it being one of the best
things I had in my mouth for many years.

Does anyone have any idea what that was? I suspect if I had a name, I
could find it again in an asian neighborhood somewhere. Also, if this
is a common item, and I suspect it is, can anyone tell me what's in
it, and what makes such a simple thing taste so great?

Thanks for your help.
