I think I've tried to get her to try similar spring rolls in a Vietnamese restaurant we ate at but she would touch them. She only would eat the pork sandwiches on a baguette. <br /><br />She does like the peanut sauce though. It's commonly used in many Ecuadorian dishes.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-20393146202651503502015-02-09T16:25:16.426-05:002015-02-09T16:25:16.426-05:00Lunch is a good idea, but not on a Saturday.
