[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're sure no one has a nut allergy, you could get pans of Vietnamese food at Eden Center (7 corners in VA). My husband is Vietnamese, and occasionally he goes there and brings back tons of food, but we have to be careful because one of our children is anaphylactically allergic to peanuts.

The meat-filled bread or rice buns from Cha Lua Ngoc Hung at Eden Center are incredibly caloric and filling, but delicious, and perfect for hungry teens!

PP -  can you please tell me more about the pans of food your husband gets, and from which store? I love the Eden Center and love to do exactly this.   And I just looked the menu at Cha Lua Ggoc Hung.  Which is the meat filled bread that you would recommend?   My son would love that.

Thank you!

He goes by himself, so I don't know the details, but I know we've tried all the buns from Cha Lua Ngoc Hung except their vegetarian one, and they're all good. The kids prefer the bread buns, which more closely hew to the American palate, and I prefer the sticky rice bun in a palm leaf, (the texture may not be pleasing to people who are unused to it).

As for the rest, he brought back a huge amount of my favorite Viet dish, Banh Cuon (very delicate rice flour crepes with mushroom and porc filling), I think it was from Thanh Long (there's another Banh Cuon place called Saigon). I can eat criminal amounts of that! But it's not a finger food, so perhaps not as suited for teen parties.
