Some of things I ate had no animal ingredients listed but they had, what I like to call , surprise meat.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully a fellow intern at IRRI helped me out and told me the word for vegetarian. It&#8217;s &#8216;Chay&#8217; and forms 90% of my Vietnamese vocabulary. Sometimes I spice it up and say &#8216;Mon Chay&#8217; which is Vietnamese for vegetarian meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Armed with my new information I began on my mission to google translate what all of these amazing looking foods were. Not going to lie, this definitely gave us a few giggles in the office&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/natalie-cunningham\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/06\/hanoi-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/natalie-cunningham\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/06\/hanoi-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/natalie-cunningham\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2019\/06\/hanoi-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>We legitimately laughed for 20minutes at this one<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously though, the Vietnamese make these &#8216;meat substitutes&#8217; that taste really delicious.
