The snails were chewy and the yellow blobs were tofu, yes. I haven’t noticed a lot of differences, except that certain foods are more or less common, and Hanoi seems to have twistier, narrower alleys, whereas Saigon had more open streets
Oh, Ari. The snail soup will never see it’s way into my mouth nor in my recipe file. Perhaps it’s the chewy texture. Perhaps it’s the globs of tofu. Maybe it’s what looks like an animal’s heart decorating the top. I commend you for your courage if you even tasted it. Personally, I thing it’s the Viet Cong delivering retribution to the Americans decades after the Viet Nam war. 💕Nonna

was it chewy? What are those big yellow blobs? Are they tofu? How do the two big Vietnamese cities differ?
