    We all have our own favorite foods, Spaghetti, Ravioli, Cannoli's, Baguettes, even French bread; however, my own personal favorite food is soup. More specifically, my favorite soup is a Guatemalan Style Fideo Soup. The reason why I say soup can be considered a narcotic is because of the happiness it brings. By definition, a narcotic is a drug or other substance-affecting mood or behavior and sold for nonmedical purposes. In the definition where it says, "other substance," I believe that can be considered soup. Soup brings tons of happiness and jubilation; hence, the part of the definition where it says, "...affecting mood or behavior..." Soup also is sold for non-medical purposes. It can be sold because you're hungry, because you're in a bad…

    In 208 BC the Chinese invaded the northern territory and dominated the culture for 1000 years. They introduced much of their culinary practices, such as noodle based dishes, stir-frying the use of chopsticks and woks. It's interesting to note however, that despite this long Chinese occupation, the Vietnamese always considered themselves as a distinct people, and on several occasions, fought to evict the Chinese. It wasn't until the mid 10th century AD that they managed to do so and restore Vietnamese independence but in all this time, their desire to hold on to their identity was reflected in their cuisine.…

    Once I was asked what my most favorite dish was, spontaneously, words came out of my mouth “It is the best dish I have ever eaten, a hot, spicy, aromatic and gravy like chicken stew, or so called chicken curry, but not regular curry. It is my mom’s version of Vietnamese chicken curry.” For years, I have been studying in Ho Chi Minh city, whose diversity of food culture is highly regarded, surely, almost every types of curry dishes could be found here. Unforturnately, they can not fulfil my craving for my mother’s curry. Thus, I decided to ask her for the recipe to cook for myself.
