RE: Missing Vietnam

in Cinnamon Cup Coffee2 years ago

Hello @vanbliss, I can certainly see why you're missing Vietnam. This place is stunning!
Vietnam is a country I'd like to visit for sure.
Those "marble eyes" took me right back to my childhood collection. I had hundreds of marbles, and I'm sure that if I could time travel, I'd find a pair identical to those tarsier's eyes.
I didn't realise that the Vietnamese were so big on condensed milk. Not sure what that's a legacy of.

Hmmm, that got me thinking as well... fortunately we have wikipedia, which states the following...

Coffee was introduced into Vietnam in 1857 by a French Catholic priest in the form of a single Coffea arabica tree.[2] The beverage was adopted with regional variations. Because of limitations on the availability of fresh milk, as the dairy farming industry was still in its infancy,[3] the French and Vietnamese began to use sweetened condensed milk with a dark roast coffee.
