Drink pairing tips

The ideal drink pairing for banh mi
Finding the ideal drink pairing for banh mi can be tricky. It’s worth exploring some white wine, particularly a glass of Kabinett. This, sweet, white wine balances the spicy banh mi.
Cilantro Chile Cooler and banh mi

When considering what goes best with banh mi, we recommend a glass of Cilantro Chile Cooler, it truly complements the dish as it cuts through the fattiness of the sandwich.
Pair Mangose with banh mi
If your food palns include Banh mi, then you should consider helping it along with some beer. We find that a Mangose, with its hits of fruit, serves as the best pairing to the dish.

Factoids

A big feat in 2016
At 9,332 feet 8 inches, the sushi roll that was made by Tamana Otawara Festival Executive Committee in Japan was an amazing feat.
A belly full of vindaloo curry
Are you a fan of vindaloo curry? The current record for eating the most vindaloo curry is one pound in only 2! Do you love vindaloo curry enough to beat this record?
A day for sushi-lovers
Do you like sushi enough to dedicate a day to it? If you answered yes, then you should probably know that June International Sushi Day is International Sushi Day.
