Stewed pork with egg and water spinach fried with garlic at Cơm Niêu Rau Tập Tàng, for $3.74. This meal is the equivalence of meat loaf with mashed potato and maybe some string beans. If you don't remember your Vietnamese mom making a credible version of the stewed pork, then she's definitely a transsexual and you were adopted, if not cradle robbed from a maternity ward, so go look for your real mom now. Cơm Niêu Rau Tập Tàng means Rice in Earthenware Pot and Wild Vegetables. Anything tastes better if cooked in an earthenware pot, and "wild vegetables" evoke Vietnamese survivalism.

This looks A LOT better than that Asiatic "burrito" (I've made and eaten thousands of Tex-Mex-style burritos) in the other photo. Still, it looks like you're eating extremely fresh & healthy most of the time back in your homeland, far better than most of the rest of us.
I know you've cut your ties with The Unz Review, but I saw this article/book review just now and, while reading how the author was worried about ruining his career by writing anything sceptical about the Holocaust, immediately thought of you, of the personal price you have paid for pissing off The Tribe.
You've managed to carry on well: to travel the world, continue to write, to continue to influence, and, judging by your food photos, maintain a healthy appetite that you feed with exquisite/exotic food.
As the saying goes: Living well is the best revenge.
Here's the link to that article just in case you're curious:
