No not the south american revolutionary folk hero. The vietnamese sweet coconut flavored everything-but-the-kitchen-sink concoction.
Chè is served all over Vietnam and eaten pretty much all day long. Some vendors of Chè have a specific variety they sell, but the hard core Chè joints have like 30 different ingredients to chose from and I’d say I couldn’t tell you what half them are. Banana, semi-raw potatoes, soy beans, mung beans, 10 other different kinds of cooked beans, lychee, etc… The result is a plethora of different textures and colors served over crushed ice and flavored with a semi-sweet coconut liquid jammy. It’s all about the texture and if you’re a food texture junky like I am, it’s utter heaven.
