As long as it pleases me. Does it bother you?

I recall having a meal in Vung Tau of "bahn xiao"... it was like a
rice cake wrapped in a crepe with some sugar. As I remember, the term
"bahn" translated to "friend", but maybe not in that context. Anyway,
the rice made a good breakfast. They'd wrap them in MACV computer
print-outs... all marked "classified". To this day, whenever I see a
paper with a red "classified" stamp, I salivate.

Well...not all that much, it just kind of perplexes me really. There's
sort of a childish vibe to it that clashes with your academic halo,
it's...what...disconsonate?

Cracking good cuisine, isn't it!

And the sandwiches they make, well...that marriage of French and Asian
may be the happiest palate surprise of the 20th century.
