Nam Bread -- foot bread? I doubt that it would ever become a favorite on my dinner table no matter how tasty it turned out to be. The method used in its preparation arouses my curiosity, if not my taste buds. The fact that it is actually kneaded with the feet would certainly give me pause. I might be persuaded to partake, but the first time I found a toenail that would do it for me.
Yes, Scott's tales of eating and drinking the food in Afghanistan were interesting! He said (of the kneading with feet) "Once you get past that, Nam bread is very good"! Our troops are intrepid in lots of ways!!
