As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
So Roger was telling me this story from his Vietnam days.
He had been out with the interpreter and they arrived back at base late and chow had already been served. What was left on the stove for them had rats crawling all over it.
The interpreter said, "Hey why don't we go down to the village and get something to eat".
Roger was game and off they went.
They entered the house and got a couple of beers and pretty soon this huge pot appeared which was set on their table and they were assured by the proprietor that it was "chop chop number one good".
The lid was lifted off of the chicken soup and there floating on top of this Vietnamese masterpiece of cullinary delights was a whole chicken boiled up. Boiled with the head on. The feathers on. The feet on. The guts still in the bird.
Roger said to this day chicken soup can sit and rot as he will not eat the stuff. That is after his mother used to make it for him as a child when he was sick.
He said the Vietnamese also ate allot of rats. That is why the clamp on lids were around as they threw the rats into the boiling water alive and the rats kept trying to jump out, knocking off the lid. Crabs did the same, but that was good eating.
Used to eat whole baby chicks boiled up in the egg, bones and all.
Just remember the time is coming when you will probably think eating the whole chicken in the pot, chicken shit and all is a welcome meal.
