Vietnam territory is divided into three regions is markedly North, Central and South.

That contributed to Vietnam cuisine rich and diverse. This is a cultural eating lots of vegetables used (boiled, fried, making pickle, eaten raw) water types especially sour soup, while the number of dishes that are often of animal nutrition less. What kind of meat is used most commonly pork, beef, chicken, duck, crawfish, fish, crabs, snails, mussels, clams, oysters, etc. These dishes from the less common meats such as dog meat, goat meat, turtle meat, snake meat, turtle meat ... is not usually the main source of meat, sometimes considered specialty and are only used during a certain festival associated with drinking alcohol.

    Hi, Sean. I like the way you write, even though I think that in some places you were out of topic. For example, when you said that " Thinking about how this dish is only found locally makes me wonder what kind of traditions and food are located around my area that can’t be found anywhere else". Especially when you said about your "area" because it take the focus out of the assignment to focus on your personal life (just my opinion, I could be wrong). The way you described the essence of the dish,"cao lau", in the essay “Vietnam Bowl of Secrets” by David Farley got my attention because I did not think that just the authenticity of the bowl of soup could be one of the essences of this essay . When I read the essay I thought that the essences…

    Ever since I could remember, my family and I has always been struggling to survive‒ for my family mealtime has always been an event. No matter if it is just a small breakfast before starting school or a big feast to celebrate new years, for us, each chance you eat food it is more than just an act of nourishing the body; it became a chance to appreciate the world’s bounty. Starting in the late 1880’s Vietnam became an official colony of France, and after many decades of oppression it left the war torn country to rebuild from scratch. It was not until September 2, 1945 that Vietnam could establish itself as an independent country, luckily the country was infused with not only French traditions but also American influences, which was cultivated…

    Eating American food is another adaptation that I found when I move to U.S. The kinds of American food are away far different from Cambodian food. For instance, Cambodian people always have rice with their meal everyday, while the U.S. people consider rice as the special food, and they just eat it sometime. It is ok when I have diner at home because I can have rice as much as I want. But when I go to restaurants, I have to eat other food, but not the rice. In Addition, Cambodian people rarely use cheese as the ingredient of their food. But as I know, the U.S. people use cheese more often than Cambodian people. In Cambodia, I did not like eating cheese, but as I move to U.S., I have to change my taste of food, so I have to eat cheese as the people here do.…

    I am of Chinese descent and one of the biggest parts of being Chinese is food. Food in China is diverse and unique from region to region. As a result, one’s cooking will often reflect one’s identity. As I learn to cook, I have to choose. Will I favor the Szechuan style, hot, spicy, yet heart-warming? Perhaps I’ll favor the sweet Shanghai style, more delicate, yet more refined. Or, I may go with my parent’s Shandong Style, rich, powerful, and familiar to me. As I learn to cook, I will refine my identity through the dishes I…

    Back to hundred years ago, dumplings are more like delicacy rather than a nice food to appease people’s hunger. When China was an economically backward country, people always eat cheap roughage such as corn, millet or rice as main meal. Smith describes rice is “a basic component of routine domestic and ritual activity.” (Smith, 2006) Dumplings were not the same thing. They were only appeared in Spring Festival as a decent food to highlight the day. Therefore, food like dumplings was also represented a happy and wealthy life that people wanted and pursued.

Although in nowadays dumplings is not a luxury food any more, people are still enjoy having dumplings whenever traditional festivals. The thousand years custom have formed to a culture appearance, carry down from generation to generation.…
