You dont have to walk far on Saigons uneven chaotic bike-strewn sidewalks before encountering a street food vendor. Regardless of what time of day, the items on offer vary from soups to rice and fish/meat/veggies to noodles, to baguettes, to sweets, corn, steamed buns, BBQ, coffee, drinks - you name it. Dart down a nondescript alley and a host of impromptu restaurants and vendors reveal themselves with many delights within.

When you're in Vietnam, forget about the golden rule: If you cant boil it or peel it, dont eat it. I realized that Western culture has sterilized everything beyond reprieve. Many of us grow up with the concept that meat comes from styrofoam packages in the chilled aisle of a grocery store – not a farm full of animals. Produce is highly polished or waxed and balanced in pretty pyramids. What would we do if the supermarket started butchering live animals right in front of us? Arguably we should pay a premium for it since it would be fresher than anything we normally get. But instead we would likely be horrified so we eat meat that is days if not weeks even months old.
