__Vietnam
is small country in Southeast Asia. Most popularly characterized
as a country torn apart by war, many tend to overlook it's striking
culinary history. Cuisine in Vietnam differs greatly between
the north, south and central regions, but two key features stand
out. First, rice plays an essential role in the nation's diet
as it does throughout Southeast Asia. Aside from ice, noodles
are also a staple, regularly consuming them for breakfast, lunch
and dinner, in homes, restaurants and at roadside stands. Noodles
are eaten wet and dry, in soup or beside soup, and are made
in different shapes and thickness of wheat, rice and mung beans.
Secondly, no meal is complete without fresh vegetables and herbs.
A key portion of every meal, north, south and central, is a
platter containing cucumbers, bean threads, slices of hot pepper,
and sprigs of basil, coriander, mint and a number of related
herbs found principally in Southeast Asian markets. The wide
array of flavors really makes Vietnamese food particularly unique.
