IK,
I was thinking surely the escargot/snails would go bad before arriving in Vietnam but then saw that they were already canned. While I was in Germany a friend sent me some Gruyere cheese (which we had enjoyed at a raclette place in Zurich together) but I was in the process of moving from Heidelberg to Giessen and the cheese was a smelly mess before I visited the mailroom on post. The mail clerks were happy to get rid of it. My first escargot experience was in Strasbourg and the waiter had to demonstrate how to use the tongs and little fork, etc.
