The latest Saigoneer Podcast episode is out now!
This week, we begin (1:00) with a discussion about wildlife consumption in Vietnam. A recently published study found cornavirus strains in a majority of field rat and bat guano samples taken in Vietnam from 2013 to 2014. What could these findings — and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic — mean for the eating of bushmeat here?
Then (20:13), on a lighter note, we share some of our favorite recent street food, cafe and restaurant finds in Saigon.
As always, we close with Bánh Mì Banter (30:53).
