Giò Bò

I was talking to this one girl in the class and found out that her dad makes giò bò (it's kinda like beef meatloaf wrapped inside banana leaf) and her mom sells them at the market for a living. So I decided to order half a kilo to try, since it's kinda hard to find beef in this little town. It was nice to be able to put in a custom order, where I asked him not to put any MSG, too much pork fat, and too much salt in it. She brought it in last Friday, and I tried it yesterday in a sandwich. It was very good! Now, it would be very nice if I can get to know all the other students so I can get vegetables, fruits, rice, bread, .... from them, then I wouldn't ever need to go to the market.
