Eating Vietnam - Graham Holliday

Eating street food on the other side of the world can be intimidating, but author and longtime resident of Vietnam Graham Holliday insists it's the only way, in that country. The foods might be foreign to us, like pig intestines and uterus, which are "popular drinking foods," but Holliday insists that the Vietnamese are notoriously fastidious and clean when it comes to food prep. Eating from carts and huts on the side of the road, the sickest he got in his 10 years in the country was after he had eaten at a well-known French restaurant. But Holliday does recommend skipping alcohols made from fermented snakes: they taste pretty bad. His new book, Eating Viet Nam is available now.
