Kevin Morgan, CEO of GeoVisions explains so eloquently the joys and appreciation of human influence when it comes to the shared love for food.
Dear Friends,
I always find it interesting that everywhere I go, there are so many things to learn everywhere. Last month in Vietnam, I enjoyed some of the best meals on my winter Asia trip. Not surprising ... It's always the case.
The French left a wonderful legacy in Vietnam - stunning architecture, grid patterns of boulevards and districts, and a culinary infusion into an already exciting cuisine.
Pommes frites! A seemingly universal staple - thank you Belgium and Roy Kroc. Some of my best recent "French fries" were at a lovely café in Hanoi. Fried perfectly! Cut thinly and exquisitely! Served with courtesy! Eaten with chopsticks! Yes, chopsticks! It was a pleasant, social and perfectly logical way to eat the frites! East meets west.
As I said, always something to discover!
Yours from Asia,
Kevin
