hanoi snackin

i never thought i would snack on dried squid (never imagined living in 'nam either) but its a great salty sweet snack.  the place we get it from in the old quarter makes their own dipping sauce, a blend of chiles, lots of garlic, and vinegar. they also slice up green mango and serve it with a nice little salt mixture. an added bonus is that they deliver.
most often people will drink it with some bia hanoi, but being the fine living man that i am  - i like to pair it with a new world "big red" wine.
