I was planning something special with the kids and my father, but it rapidly disintegrating. I guess it will be like last year, a Subway sandwich

Awwww....why's that?

Thanksgiving with cousins. There were lots of appetizers, which are the pix below. The second pix is steam bun with duck, cucumber, and sauce. The last pix is my plate of food. I was so full, especially since one of the cousins kept on serving drinks. :pAttachment 41789Attachment 41790Attachment 41791Attachment 41792

So that was a drunken post. :lol:

Yum !!!

Yum YUM!

This dish is called "Thit Bo Nhung Dam." Literally, it translates as beef dipped in vinegar. When I googled it, one of the translation is "Beef Vinegar Hotpot." I never knew there were many variations in how to eat this dish. Basically, it's eye round beef, sliced thinly and cooked by dipping into a preferred broth. My household have always made the broth with cold water, vinegar, and a can of beer. The cooked beef is then rolled with salad, mints, and cucumber in rice paper. You then dip the roll in fermented anchovy sauce mixture (anchovy sauce, crushed pineapple, garlic, and chilli).

I will post pictures later. Gotta go now. Someone :mad2: is on my back.

Sounds good ... essentially a type of fondue, but I like the idea of rolling the cooked beef with salad, mint, and cucumber in rice paper. The sauce sounds yummy also! And all of it fairly low-fat. Nice!

We already started eating so the water is not clear anymore. Attachment 41803Attachment 41804I smashed more chili peppers to add to the sauce because I was it was spicy enough. Hehe...Attachment 41805how the roll looks like...Attachment 41806

Oh yeah, I made flan for dessert.Attachment 41807
