I've cut back on fast food. That and the fact that I can't afford to keep going that route.

That all looks fantastic! Do you have a recipe for the Goi Du Du that you would be willing to share? I have a two Paw Paw (Papaya) trees, one mature and fruiting and the other not here at home and I love this when made traditionally.

The Goi du du looks amazing, can you share the recipe and steps? I love this dish but have never attempted myself as I'm not sure where to start.I'm currently visiting Vietnam for the Lunar NY (Tet) and eating everything in sight!
Would not say "dry". ;-)

What on earth is the first one!?!
Had to laugh - Was scrolling down the page and looking at the beautifully taken photo's of yummy food and starting to get pretty hungry. Completely lost my appetite when I got to your post
A lot like shrimp or perhaps calamari, with the texture of the latter. I don't blame you if they look a bit intimating but sea snails I can handle. Never mind your average garden snails (escargots) though.
How do you eat them? Do you remove them from the shells?
With a toothpick. Some places give you a needle-like tool to fish them out.
