Hello everyone,

Is there a famous food at your place that best describes your Country? Smile
Let's share and make friends through food!

Example:

I think sushi best represents Japan, bodies of water surrounds it. The Ocean provides life for the country, and within each town has its own sushi specialty. Smile

You may post the same food representing the same country... just as long as you describe it in your own opinion.

I introduce you a dish that is very famous in my country...Viet Nam Smile
NOODLE SOUP is the most popular food among the population. NOODLE is mostly commonly eaten for breakfast, although many other people would have it for their lunch or dinner. Anyone feeling hungry in the small hours of the morning can also enjoy a bowl of hot and spicy NOODLE SOUP to fill their empty stomach. NOODLE SOUP also needs its special taste and smell. The grated rice paper is made of the best variety of fragrant rice called GẠO TẺ;. The soup for PHỞ B� (NOODLE SOUP with beef) is made by stewing the bones of cows and pigs for a long time in a large pot. Pieces of fillet mignon together with several slices of ginger are reserved for a bowl of PHỞ B� T�I (rare fillet). Slices of well done meat are however offered to those less keen on eating rare fillets. Meanwhile soup for PHỞ G� (NOODLE SOUP with chicken meat) is made by stewing together chicken and pig bones. White chicken meat served with PHỞ G� is boneless and cut into thin slices. You could regard PHỞ B� and PHỞ G� as Vietnam's special soup. It has the added advantage of being convenient to prepare and healthy to eat.

Besides what you mentioned above, I think banh xeo, banh beo, banh cuon and lots of others are delicious too.
