I just ordered Vietnamese food from GrubHub and it was sooooo good.

I was hungry asf.

But damn, got some white rice, beef, and some veggies (cucumber and radish) all with that signature sauce that Vietnamese restaurants usually have (I'm not sure what it's called).

And by the Vietnamese gods, it was amazing.

Just like eating it at the restaurant itself; still nice and warm (but then again, the restaurant was nearby my area).

Came in a white plastic container or whatever material you call it.

Oh God, I look back fondly on that meal I had almost an hour ago today.

I was soooooooooooo hungry too and now I'm not.

How is it that you can feel horrible when you're hungry (physically and emotionally) and then feel content and all is right with the world after having eaten?

Dunno... Just don't know...

Anyway, how you all doing? And what did you all eat today (so far)?

Asian food is the best in the world, at least when you're vegan. I wish I was capable of cooking. I had some Mien Tron today. It was so good!
- Yeah, I want to go vegan, at least eventually, or maybe cut down on the meat, at the very least.
  
  Cut out dairy and eggs first if possible, they're far far far more cruel. Only eat meat coming from big animals so less murder happens for the amount of meat. Don't go a cheese breather vegetarian as a "more moral" option, because it's far worse for the animals.
- Also, on another note, you're definitely right about Asian food basically being primed for good vegan and vegetarian cuisine.
  Lots of good vegan hot pot too, I hear (like, Chinese hot pot, to be exact).

I had leftover falafel and rice and hummus from a food truck. The servings are always big enough for two meals and the guy knows I'm vegan so he replaces the tzatziki with more hummus. I mix it all together and it's very good comfort food.
- that sounds so good. based food truck guy
  
  Food trucks are the best, especially in the DMV area.
- Falafel is the GOAT

Banh Mi is a top 5 all time food for me. Like, fuck all that silly Asian fusion stuff they pushed in the 90’s, that’s the ultimate combination of Eastern and Western flavors.
Had coffee, more coffee, plain sandwich, yogurt, granola bar. Also, they gave me some cake at work for my birthday.
- It may be a product of French colonization but damn is it good
  
  Syncretism
  We can say "syncretism" as it seems to be a mixture of cultures.
  I don't mind a bit of syncretism, even if it involves the... Fr*nch

peanut butter on an english muffin and coffee is all I've had but now I want vietnamese
- Luckily, there are nice Asian restaurants where I live, typically Thai though (which, I mean, is just as fine, tbh).

Gonna have a bowl of fruity pebbles. Worried about money, but gonna go record later today so thats nice
- Let me know if you need some extra money. I might be able to lend you some.
  
  Thanks comrade! Will probably make a mutual aid post in a bit and drop my info there

And what did you all eat today (so far)?
An iced, black caffé Americano
- Oh nice.
  Lots of caffeine, that has.
  Must have perked you up.
  
  Yeah. I got it from a place I was following up with in regards to a job. While I was there, they gave it to me on the house, and the manager said she really thought I'd be a good addition to the team, but she said that she took someone else for the position because her own boss favored that candidate instead. It honestly sucked because this job search has been an absolute fucking cancer, so to lose the opportunity with a place of employment that seemingly saw good in me hit hard. The coffee was nice, though, I guess.

gonna agree with everyone in here recommending banh mi, those are just so good. Try the spring rolls with the peanut sauce, those are amazing too and can be made vegetarian or vegan. the mama brand instant pho noodles are really good too if you add some fixins and hoisin sauce, I had those yesterday
- Oh God, the spring rolls that this place near me serves are great.
  They're a bit large too; just the right size without being too small or too large.

all with that signature sauce that Vietnamese restaurants usually have (I'm not sure what it's called).
Nuoc Cham (im not putting the accents in there, pronounced sorta like Nook Chum), basically a combination of fish sauce, sugar, lime and thai chilis. the litteral translation would be dipping water(sauce). a lot of vietnamese foods have a (general food family) (specific name or word) to name food, so a lot of sauces or drinks will start with nuoc (water), and a lot of bread or noodle dishes start banh (bread)
- That's the one!
  God, I should make this Nuoc Cham at home too...

oh man it's been too long since i've had a nice bahn mi
- Yeah, just learned that that was what it's called.

Enchiladas suizas and a lemon cucumber water
- "Enchiladas suizas"
  Good taste.

I've got a serious question for you. Why do you spam crossposts to every random comm you can think of? It is obviously not welcome and you don't seem to change no matter how many times your posts get removed.
- I didn't realize till recently.
  It's to promote Hexbear.
- The other problem is my OCD, which I've recently sought therapy for.
  But yeah, I'm going to stop.

Noice. I honestly have never ordered food from GrubHub or Uber eats. Always seems like a waste of money since I could just get it myself
