Yum! I love Vietnamese food. In DC there are dozens of hole in the wall eateries with dishes from all over the world. Find a local neighborhood of immigrants and you’ll eat well if you are willing to stray off the beaten path.
I am not like you. I do not like Vietnamese foods. They put fresh mint in just about everything they cook including things like beef stew and sandwiches. I do not want to taste mint in beef stew or sandwiches.
Send me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to be free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Just tell them to be sure to bring all their recipes with them.
“stray” being the important word there I suppose
