My Stepfather served in Nam in the mid/late 60's... Boys of Company C... He was a war hero pulling guys out of fox holes during battle...
My gf’s dad was a Navy cook in ‘nam. Apparently Agent Orange was used as an everyday pesticide.
My buddy’s late dad was infantry. Drafted, but l only recently learned he was drafted after graduating college, which meant he was made an officer.
He didn’t really talk about it much when l knew him.
Here’s a good Vietnamese noodle recipe.

You know you're in the presence of a real soldier when they are silent on their experiences... I have called out loudmouths in bars bragging about killings they have made and I know right off the bat they are a lying sack of shit...

siracha chicken and bag salad (who invented the bag salad ?)
Everyone knows it was Steve Taylor of Fresh Express that first bagged salad. Duh.

Maybe in some cases. I’ve known a fair amount of Vietnam vets. My mom dated bikers in the 80s.
Some would talk about it, usually not favorably. I spent a lot of time at biker bars as a pre-teen.

I will admit I sometimes put nuoc mam (anchovy fish sauce) on my rice. This one is made right where I sometimes stayed, Phan Thiet in Binh Thuan province in southernmost II Corps along the coast. I got used to using it on everything as I was an advisor to a Vietnamese Company commander and ate everything they ate, including dog. BTW DieHard is also a Vietnam Vet. One of the good guys here.

My former brother-in-law passed away unexpectedly recently and l took it kinda hard and got Irish wake style drunk and cried a lot and then l got hungry and creative.
I pan fried bananas and eggs, and threw some weird ass spices in the mix and somehow it all came together so well that l tried to write down what all l threw into it as l was eating it because l thought l invented the next peaches and cream.
I recall heating up some olive oil and chili crisp in a cast iron pan, probably on medium high. I threw a cut up banana or 2 in there first (l think it was 1 banana, but l bought 2 and they’re both gone now, so l think l may have eaten a banana before all this, or hell, l may have thrown both bananas into the mix for all l know).
I let ‘em fry for a bit before l cracked 3 eggs in there and stir fried all that together for a good bit. I started throwing shit in there. A squeeze of sriracha, some Hungarian sweet paprika, a packet of White Castle mustard, a packet of soy sauce. Maybe salt and pepper? I know l put a pinch of hing in there, aka asafoetida, it’s an uncommon asian spice l bought for a recipe at one point.
I devoured it. It was both exhilarating and confusing. At one point l wondered why it had an element of sweetness because l had forgotten that l started off with bananas.
Jeff was his name. He wasn’t always a good dude, troubled past, did some time and had a history of taking advantage of people, and a Bengals fan, but he steadily improved as the years passed.
He was the perfect brother-in-law though. Never asked me for shit and always had my back, and he did funny things like answer the phone with “choosy mothafuckas choose Jeff.”
This recipe’s for you Jeff.

Can we talk about tuna salad?
I always approach tuna salad like it’s a formula.
An element of crunchiness is a must. Some people use chopped up celery or red onion, l’ve heard cucumbers work. I’ve used water chestnuts and a chopped up turnip before and that works too.
And there’s an element of sweetness too. Some people use sweet relish, l’ve seen halved grapes in there. I like raisins or dried cranberries.
And other than that it’s just drained cans of tuna and mayo and the spices of your choice, almost always salt and pepper and l usually throw yellow curry powder in mine. Some people put chopped up hardboiled eggs in there. I’m sure there’s a billion variations.
I’m curious what some of you put in yours? I’m not sure everyone likes the element of sweetness in tuna salad, so l’m particularly interested if you go for that and if so what you use?

I just made amazing pumpkin pancakes.
I made a double batch of Publix brand buttermilk pancake mix (you can probably use any other brand, but they won’t be as good), threw a third of a can of pumpkin in the batter, as well as 3 crunched up allspice balls and a tiny jar of Drunken Monkey jam (whatever that is) and it turned out great.
Fall culinary achievement goal exceeded.

I think you have your bases covered.
I'm pretty simple with tuna salad - mayo, mustard, relish, onions, tuna.
For egg salad, my wife uses mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, chopped pickles and eggs.
For chicken, and here in a few weeks, turkey salad it's mayo, red onions, grapes and walnuts.
Delivery Method
Tuna Salad - Bread or Crackers, if we're getting deli-fancy, it's a tuna melt with sharp cheddar and bacon
Egg Salad - Toast
Chicken Salad - Bun or fork
And don't forget some good pickles and kettle chips.

I’m guessing you’re making your own with a name brand can? What do you use for the cheese?
The cheese they use in their restaurants is great but hard to find. It’s all light and airy like it was grated by fairies with tiny cheese graters.
But it melts in an instant so if you get carry out conies and eat ‘em 10 minutes later, it’s basically just melted cheese.
Also, Skyline’s name brand hot sauce is a legitimately killer hot sauce.

My regular exposure to Cincinnati specialties was and is on visits to Kings Island.
1. I'm a fan of LaRosa's Pizza. It's hand-tossed, saucy and the sauce is a little sweet. I have an appreciation for lesser known regional pizza and LaRosa's fits in that niche. I also think Columbus-style pizza and Indiana-style pizza are underappreciated.
2. I think Skyline coneys are okay. I prefer a Chicago-style dog or Cleveland-style Polish Boy (there's no way of posting that without sounding like a creep).
3. Graeter's Ice Cream is good, but I can get 5 quarts of Blue Bell or 6 quarts of United Dairy Farmers Homemade Brand Ice Cream for the price of one quarter of Graeter's.

I have to admit, and yes, I've had them in Chicago, but Chicago-style hot dogs IMO are never as good as I think they are going to be. Give me a Hot Dog Shoppe chili/cheese/onion dog out in Warren or Girard any day.
Now, Chicago Italian Beef sandwiches? Those rock.

I should have added a caveat.
I make at home and tend not to follow everything to the T when it comes to which hot dog/sausage to use.
I don't prefer Vienna Sausages. I like Hebrew National or Nathan's. Better texture, better snap.
Are those chili dogs more sauce or more meat? I like both. Some places have better meaty chili, some better saucy chili. And cheese amd onions are a must!
Regarding, Italian Beef...100%. They are delicious.
