HA! Just saw this thread and loving it!
I've tried to get a few of my buddies to try this and they all turn up their noses... their loss. Now that fall is starting to move in I'm looking forward to eating this more, there's a great Vietnamese place within 1/2 mile of my house.
I love it with the rate steak and brisket... I can even do the tendon and tripe occasionally.
