I don't remember salmon, peppers, or limes in Viet-Nam, but perhaps I wasn't paying attention.
I DO remember, with great fondness, the bread, French bread, with a hard crust and wonderfully soft inside. I've never been to France, but I think the Vietnamese inheritors of French cuisine got this exactly right.
I'm willing to give it a go - French bread (to paraphrase Old Ben) is proof that God loves us and wants to be happy. And the rest of the menu sounds so not C-ration!

Chilis and limes are both key ingredients in Vietnamese cooking. Maybe not in the Army kitchens if that is when you were there. :-D
ReplyDeleteAnd French bread would be good to dunk in that sauce.
