That contributed to Vietnam cuisine rich and diverse.

    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…

    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…

    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.…

    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.

    In most Asian families, most kids’ first language is their native language. My first language is English but my second language is Vietnamese. It has always been equally important to me in my life. My parents spoke English, but little of it. As I was getting a little older, one day I heard my parents talking in Vietnamese and it was something about me because they said my name, I got really curious and asked them. They would not tell me anything and would just laugh so it made me angry. I realized that while living in an oriental household it was hard to go through the days not being able to understand half the things my parents say. I wanted to learn so I could talk to my parents and my grandparents, so I asked my parents to teach me.…
