Hanoi

Chả rươi (sand worm omelette) is a Vietnamese dish made from the polychaete worm Tylorrhynchus heterochetus; it is a delicacy of some provinces in Northern Vietnam.[1][2] The dish is prepared from live sand worms, which are put in hot water to remove their tentacles, and then mixed with raw egg, minced pork, onions, coriander. Usually only available in autumn

This was rather good, also eating blanched peanuts in their shells and drinking freshly brewed draft Bia Hoi, a simple hangout with locals while the world rushes by

That sand worm (dried) also used as a flavour enhancer for beef bone broth, learnt that in my cooking class
