   This comes from "Uncle Billy's Downeast BBQ Book". (ISBN

   I used pulled pork instead of the tenderloin with great results. Slice
 the 
   roll open leaving the ends intact to create a pocket. Put in pate,
 pork,   
   and shallots. Pile on  the rest of the
 veggies.                            
                                                                              
   To make the sauce: mix the garlic sauce, lime juice, sugar, and nuoc
 mam   
   (fish sauce) until the sugar is disolved. This is enough for 3-4
 sandwiches.                                  
                                                                              
   The heat is in the sauce. Add according to your fortitude,
 disposition, or 
   world
 view.
