I tried it in Vietnam and it was disgusting...mixed with a pile of leaves, and a sweet and spicy sauce to dip with(sort of like Sriracha). It tasted a little like a hard boiled egg, mixed with liver, and leaves(I think it was basil).

My ex Vietnamese wife, offered it to me, with a pile of leaves on a plate, and a sweet and spicy, dipping sauce similar to Sriracha or a spicy Duck Sauce. It tasted sort of like, a mix between boiled egg, and liver, mixed with with leaves. (I think it was Basil).
