Blog Guy, you write a lot about travel. My wife and I need a vacation, but we’re trying hard to lose weight. Vacations always mean wonderful meals, and we come home 10 pounds heavier. How can we break that cycle?
Do what I do. Plan a vacation to Vietnam.
Oh hot-diggity. How does that help?
For dinner in Hanoi, head out to a bistro I know specializing in entrails and blood soup.
Ewww! Puke-o-Rama! What’s it called?
Lonnie’s House of Blood Soup and Cocktail Lounge. Tell Lonnie I sent you.
You’re crazy! I’d sooner stay home and eat my wife’s cooking!
Don’t forget to save room for Lonnie’s dessert. If you bring your own Bowie knife, you can help him kill it.
You can’t be turned away! join the Oddly Enough blog network

- Posted by caglarUnfortunately, Caglar, flights to Vietnam can be expensive. Perhaps you could just go to a a local blood bank or hospital for the same sort of dishes…

- Posted by caglarWell, you’re welcome here no matter what. Our research shows the twisted psycho demographic is one of the largest for this blog. We’re trying to go after more vampire readers, and eventually tap into the zombie market.

- Posted by caglarMr Bob,
It is a lot cheaper to go to England, to order a nice blood sausage.
- Posted by timWe prefer to call it ‘black pudding’
- Posted by seimoni’ve been to vietnam and there are far BETTER choices of food there. For example, the seven courses of dog you can get off of a street vendor. As you can imagine, they cook the dog seven different ways. They have it in the states as well ‘cept they use “beef” instead. there’s also pigeon, snake, crocodile, rat, etc. basically anything eaten on the show “fear factor” is a typical vietnamese dish.

- Posted by Honey, the guide says they serve IMPORTED rats here! | iSawNEWS.comOh!”Tiet canh” is a very delicious food. However it is not for people who have poor digestion. Some people feel horrible but if it is to overcome the feeling that you will enjoy.You should eat it with some aromatic vegetables.
