    There is good fish sauce but the Phillipino traditional stuff is really chum for dumping in the water tank in my view ...it's fish bait

    I like eggs except soft boiled. Had piperade with a scrambled egg and bread I baked for breakfast.

    Like tofu, making soup with dashi base, tofu, bok choy, wakame.

    Bok Choy and leaks are my recent love. I try to incorporate them wherever I can.

    We go at a Fort Stevens usually. By Warrenton. Sometimes we’ll go on the Washington side.

    I’ve never done the Geoduck thing. My dad has. Can’t you only get those by the piglet sound?

    Heard some herbalist say there was an WHO report that indicated people in the North? of India were dying at higher rate than South? because of the gluten full wheat diet versus rice.

    Tofu ain't bad. Not much taste to it really.

    Indian food and Filipino food has never done it for me. I had Filipino egg rolls one time and they were awful. India’s iteration of curry is not my cup of tea.

    I think it’s the texture. Sponge like.

    If you are at a Japanese restaurant, try Agadashi Tofu.

    Beef is my jam. I could do with out Pork or chicken. But if it’s not good for your ticker than you gotta definitely stay away from that. How do you cook your trout? Do you smoke it?

    There are different kinds of egg rolls. The deep fried ones with the meat fillings are good. The ones that aren't deep fried with a bunch of veggies suck

    Yeah that’s the kind I had. Used to have a route over by 52nd and division. There was a Vietnamese food cart at the pod. An American dude and his wife who was Vietnamese and spoke no English. I tried that place probably 3 times because I felt bad that they never got any business and was completely underwhelmed every time.

    grill the trout...sometimes fillet it and deep fry but usually grill the whole fish with scallions and mushrooms in the middle...baste it with cumin and curry garlic , lemon and chili sauce ...I used to roll them in rock salt and wrap them in tin foil and then grill them on the BBQ...my son borrowed my BBQ 4 years ago and still has it...he just got a smoker for Xmas and sent me some smoked salmon yesterday his father in law caught...delicious!

    Vietnamese are my favorite egg rolls. There are so many different kinds, you wrap it the egg rolls (fried is the best) in aromatic greens and then dip it in Nuom Choc (some fish sauce mixed with other shit). There's also one here that has one with sausages which are fucking bomb.

    Interestingly enough, I love Vietnamese food, but I'm not a fan of pho (which is most popular here in the US) at all.
