Potential hissy fit

One of my most trusted cadres has strongly advised me to eat a cobra in Hanoi. Apparently the consumption of the cobra is feted with much ritual splendour. The bile is extracted and drunk with a shot of whiskey, if I recall correctly. I can manage almost anything on my own, but I do not think I can manage to participate in the ceremonial eating of a snake all by myself. So adamantly and carefully worded have the injunctions to eat a snake in Hanoi been that I wonder whether admission into some secret society might be at stake. In other words, I need a witness as well as an accomplice. I’m out of Hanoi for a few days and then will pass through for just a few more on my way south. Somehow, I need to mix with my peers on the tourist circuit and find a reasonable dinner partner. As to whether it will be possible to find such a one (or two or three) from a random sample of the general public, my expectations are quite low. Managing to board a plane to the same destination does not, in my opinion, automatically represent common ground sufficient to justify sharing a meal. The challenge is to find someone who passes the reasonable person test AND is amenable to the idea of eating reptiles. Alternatively, if anybody knows of a reasonable person who will be in Hanoi on Monday or Tuesday and might want to eat some snake with me, let me know. Brief character reference required.
