Yet Another Chicken Story

I was in a part of the city yesterday where I had eaten twice unsatisfactorily in a small cafe when the old hunger alarm went off, so I found a new place to try. I ordered chicken and rice from the menu and noticed below the entree listing I could order additional rice, additional chicken or additional chicken organs. I pointed to the additional chicken organs listing and attempted to explain to the waiter not to put organs on my entree. Instead, he understood that I wanted to order additional organs. Well, since I had a bowl of mysteries in front of me I went ahead and ate it all, trying not to wonder too much what I was eating. Actually, not half bad!!!

Here is just a side note to my lunch experience yesterday. As I was eating my chicken, rice and additional organs the music playing overhead was incongruously Bing Crosby singing Jingle Bells on a hot February day in Ho Chi Minh City. Just another day in my sometimes surreal life.
