I love most things about living here in Ho Chi Minh City but it does get tiresome to have to go out to eat every time I get hungry. I like to cook and I long for a kitchen but it just is not available at this time, so I have found a substitute which is take away food. I recently discovered a market that sells what we would call rotisserie chicken at our local Publix. It is actually quite tasty, seasoned with a lot of garlic and lemon grass, and I have made meals at home of chicken, a baquette and sliced tomato and cucumber. There is one significant difference in Publix chicken and what I buy here. When you get a whole chicken in Viet Nam you also get the head and the feet. I have yet to eat either, but I am working up courage for that and a few other culinary adventures.
The answer to the riddle is that a rotisserie chicken in Viet Nam also includes the head and the legs.
I remember when we were very young my sister Rena and I watching our Daddy wring a chicken's neck. Rena would not eat chicken for years after that. I am pretty sure she would not be happy to find a really whole chicken in the package even today. Right, Rena?
