Tidbit for Alliana

Most Vietnamese people don't like cheese, because they just don't really do dairy - it doesn't really factor into their cuisine at all - and they're all really concerned with avoiding fattening foods. The only cheese I've really come across here is Laughing Cow, and apparently that's because Laughing Cow was invented by the French f0r French soldiers in Vietnam, because they needed a cheese that didn't need to be cold to be preserved that could be packaged so that it could be opened and eaten without soldiers' dirty hands touching the cheese. Aren't the French brilliant?
