Khao jee pâté (Lao: ເຂົ້າຈີ່ປາເຕ, romanizedkhaocīpātē), is a Lao baguette-based sandwich, similar to Vietnam's bánh mì and Cambodia's num pang. It is a famous street food found throughout Laos.[1] The baguette or French bread was introduced to Laos when Laos was ruled under French Indochina.[2]

The sandwich is made by splitting the baguette lengthways and spread with a thick layer of pork liver pâté,[3] stuffed with pork or Lao sausage,[4] sliced papaya, carrots, shallots or onion, cucumber, cilantro and sometimes Jeow bong or chili sauce. Khao jee paté should not be confused with Khao jee, another popular Lao traditional food, made of steamed sticky rice formed into patties coated with seasoned egg mixture and grilled over an open fire.[5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
