According to CNN, is there any simple food that is as popular all over the world as the sandwich? There is hardly any place on the planet that doesn't have a type of bread with filling inside to satisfy the craving.

Traveling around the world on sandwiches is like traveling around the world.

In the list of 25 best sandwiches published by CNN, Vietnamese sandwiches ranked 6th.

Vietnamese bread is a global phenomenon

According to CNN, originating from France, the baguette has been recreated by Vietnamese people to their taste.

Banh mi is now available on almost every street corner in Ho Chi Minh City as well as many other places in Vietnam. Not only that, the love for this dish also goes beyond borders.

"The traditional banh mi version includes roasted pork, pork sausage, pickles, coriander, mayonnaise and other ingredients. You can also find other versions with tofu and lemongrass chicken. The taste is crispy, fresh, rich and extremely delicious," CNN introduced.

Topping the list is the Bocadillo de Jamón Ibérico - a famous traditional Spanish sandwich.

The Ibérico ham sandwiched in this sandwich comes from free-range, acorn-fed black Iberian pigs, giving it a distinctive, rich and irresistibly delicious flavour.

Coming in second is torta ahogada – the most popular street food in Guadalajara, Mexico. Minced pork is sandwiched into a crispy bread, then covered in a spicy red sauce.

Actress Eva Longoria tried this dish on CNN's Searching for Mexico series.
