Herpetophiles rejoice, gourmets lament

Not only did I survive two days on a not-so-leaky boat on Ha Long Bay, subsequent to the below, I found myself companions prepared to banquent on snake in Hanoi. I found companions, we made a rendez-vous, I failed to make it. Naps and navigational ineptitude have thwarted my good intentions many times in the past and this time, they arose like a hissing cobra to keep me from my destination. Should you be reading this, Leon, Cathy, - brave souls - I apologise.

As already stated, I'm not eating snake on my own. Unless I happen upon another willing party before I leave Hanoi this evening, I'm going to content myself with a far more modest gastronomic investigation. Pho for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What happens?

Rhapsody in pho to come.

Your gourmanderie blows me out of the water, Catri-MP. I haven't eaten anything more daring in weeks than alphabet soup (-- though, whoo baby, that alphabet soup really packs a punch).

lex, ma chere, that you, of all loquacious commentators, could not find some adventure in a bowl of alphabet soup, i cannot believe. a bowl full of boggle! select your scrabble letters from the tureen! anagrams before appetisers! don't play with your food, what what?
