Main thing that I take from this, trying not to be offensive, is that perhaps your wife should take some cooking lessons?

Well-made Vietnamese food is delicious. But, to each their own. Some people like their steaks well-done.

When fish sauce is used properly, you can hardly taste it, if at all. There is this really pungent paste that they (speaking of my wife and her cousins) eat with catfish that I will admit is really horrible.

You're probably referring to mam nem(anchovy sauce) because I don't see how Vietnamese people would eat catfish with mam tom(shrimp sauce/paste).

Also, Viets prefer red chile peppers over jalapenos.

my wife couldn't cook toast correctly... her mom cooks... she is old school, mainland Vietnamese, so i'm sure she knows what she's doing...

but i'm sorry... i'm not picking the fricking tendons off an oxtail when there are perfectly good chicken breast at the grocery store...

i'll take your word for it... i just can't the soups and shite... now the table top grill thing, where you take rice paper and wrap the grilled meat and veggies and eat it, i can do that all day...

those people are morons and shouldn't be allowed in the gene pool...

and for those wondering about the fish sauce smell, no, it's definitely not my wife... she's so white washed, it ain't even funny.... she's not like one of those fresh off the boat types....
