Going to take you for some cà phê trứng in Việt Nam; it's salted egg coffee and it's glorious! Invented as a quick fix in the 40s or 50s when a Ha Noi cafe had run out of condensed milk, it's now a nationwide classic.
Thank you for writing this! I very much enjoy your food history, recipes & commentary. I will definitely try your quick Hollandaises sauce recipe. Just this morning, I was thinking about making a dish I make rarely, but love: A whole fish served on a platter with roasted potatoes & carrots, chick peas, zucchini, fresh tomatoes, asparagus, etc with homemade aioli. Definitely a fine spring dish.
Do you happen to know where the idea that eggs should be kept in the fridge came from (even to the point that fridge doors used to have egg racks in them?) -- I remember my roommates in America constantly telling me I'd get sick by my refusal to store eggs in the fridge and keeping them at room temp.
