I was hungry asf.

But damn, got some white rice, beef, and some veggies (cucumber and radish) all with that signature sauce that Vietnamese restaurants usually have (I'm not sure what it's called).

And by the Vietnamese gods, it was amazing.

Just like eating it at the restaurant itself; still nice and warm (but then again, the restaurant was nearby my area).

Came in a white plastic container or whatever material you call it.

Oh God, I look back fondly on that meal I had almost an hour ago today.

I was soooooooooooo hungry too and now I'm not.

How is it that you can feel horrible when you're hungry (physically and emotionally) and then feel content and all is right with the world after having eaten?

Dunno... Just don't know...

Anyway, how you all doing? And what did you all eat today (so far)?

    Banh Mi is a top 5 all time food for me. Like, fuck all that silly Asian fusion stuff they pushed in the 90’s, that’s the ultimate combination of Eastern and Western flavors.

    Had coffee, more coffee, plain sandwich, yogurt, granola bar. Also, they gave me some cake at work for my birthday.

        Syncretism

        We can say "syncretism" as it seems to be a mixture of cultures.

        I don't mind a bit of syncretism, even if it involves the... Fr*nch

          Ah, that's a new word to me.

          Thanks, this is something that's always interested me but I never had the words for.

            Yeah, I love hybridity and "mixed" cultural stuff.

            You'll find interesting stuff on cultural hybridity in Google Scholar too.
