Head Cheese Banh Mi.

Today I am making some delicious head cheese or brawn. Which is an old school meat terrine. This dish does not contain any dairy or cheese despite the name. Although this dish was created in Europe around the Middle Ages, it is quite popular in Vietnam as well. You can usually find this in banh mi, the famous Vietnamese sandwich. Which is how I am going to be preparing this. I have a video for the banh mi bread as well as another video where I made the chicken liver pate. You can check out my other videos on ‪@cheftuan‬
