Mystery meat

What did we eat? We went for banh mi (Vietnamese hoagies) and they had other goodies in a deli case. We bought some kind of small squares, about one inch per side, and maybe 3/8" thick. Each was topped with a slice of onion and a slice of jalapeƱo. Inside each was a whole peppercorn. It was weirdly pink - at first we thought it was some kind of sweet bean dessert. Ground, pickled(?) pork. What are they called?
Response by poster: Nem Chua it is! It looked exactly precisely like that. We got two kinds of bin mah. One was roast pork, the other had cha lua in it, and two other mystery meats. Thanks.

That's how I always see this sausage - perched on top of rice rolls. Still, it sounds like it might be what you had.
