I do like a bit of spice. I wouldn't want it every night though. Many Vietnamese idioms reflect the sex-is-eating mapping: Ông ăn chả, bà ăn nem ("He eats meatballs, she eats springrolls") = Both husband and wife have secret lovers. Chán cơm thèm phở ("Tired of rice, craving noodle soup") = A man gets bored of his wife and find another girl. Ăn bánh trả tiền ("You eat snack, you pay money") = Having sex with prostitutes. (Long story short, bánh in here is snack) Ăn vụng không biết chùi mép ("Eating on the sly without cleaning your mouth") = Committing adultery but left trace Going out for a meal with one's significant other in Vietnam sounds like a minefield. I went on a date in Vietnam once AND YOU WEREN'T THERE MAN!

Would you like to eat meatloaf for dinner, every night for the rest of your life? Or would you rather have variety? Maybe chicken one night. Maybe even go crazy and have steak at a fine restaurant once in a while! And sometimes you just fancy Asian.

Call me old fashioned, but it would never work for me though it may for some. I think people who do that aren’t getting enough validation and satisfaction with their ego and seek it elsewhere or feel stuck
