You know, salty lemonade? The vietnamese drink? It’s made with lemons, sugar, salt, water, and ice. All ingredients I like. A lot. Heck, I love my vegemite and marmite, pickled lemons, along with treacle and shots of lemon juice. I thought this would be one slam-dunk delicious drink, when I ordered it at my local Pho eatery. It wasn’t. ☹ I haven’t tried their salty plum juice drink yet; I’m not sure I’m looking forward to that now. ---

The soul plum soda stuff is great, but I’m not sure if it’s an acquired taste. I’m curious as to how a person who hasn’t grown up with asian style preserved/pickled/salted/dried fruit takes to it though! ---

It’s not my favorite. Have you tried rau má? That’s pretty good. I also love cà phê sữa đá. It’s the only kind of coffee I like at all. I’m going to Vietnam in 10 days! I know that’s not relevant to the thread, but I’m excited! ---

Lemonade with salt? Isn’t that yellow Gatorade? ---

I’m cool with gatorade, another reason I thought I’d like the salty lemon drink. But damn, it was like drinking lemony seawater! I’m pretty sure a liquid intake of nothing but this stuff would lead to net dehydration pretty quick. ---

I didn’t know that was a thing. I added (a little) salt to a homemade lemon and lime 'ade last month, and it was delish. Like a virgin margarita. My husband did not concur, however. More for me! ---

You have a local Pho joint? How local? Because I want one, too! ---

Somehow one place in San Diego was able to get the name, “Phở King”. Probably because whoever is responsible for approving business names didn’t know “phở” is pronounced “fuh”. ---

I like treacle. Anyone ever tried rose water in an Indian restaurant? I ordered some one time, thinking that it couldn’t possibly be what I thought it was. Sure enough, they brought me a glass of what was basically carbonated perfume. Smelled great but tasted awful.
