Essen II: Wo wir gerade erst beim Essen waren...
... because I want the same and yet something like adding wood, occupies just because the food in the Vietnamese culture such an incredibly large room. Not for nothing is a Vietnamese proverb: "to Hoc, hoc noi." - "Learn to eat before you learn to speak." For the people here is food an event, something almost sacred. Will stand for everything and left, but takes a lot of time, both for the preparation, as well as for food itself's. Eat and how much the Vietnamese, you can hear very clearly: it is passionate and unrestrained slurped and smacked, really like in society. Yes, we appreciate it very much together to dine with others. In such a round, then the food seems almost secondary, but it is not. It is eaten and chatted, chatted and ate, like so: all in all bowls and all the plates on which the food is served separately, these are then filled into a small rice bowl, which everyone has in front of him and from then is actually eaten, and finally, in small schools level and in small bites and stings. It is said that the Vietnamese would only with those people from a bowl or a plate of food, they could well suffer. So far I was still vigorously for too long. Obviously a good sign for me.
What does it because from now, the Vietnamese cuisine? Well, it is extremely diverse and carries historical reasons both Chinese and French, but also Indian-Thai trains. The basis of each meal is the rice, in any form whatsoever. There are lots of vegetables and all kinds of meat, fish or seafood. Seasoned with nuoc mam is a priority, the Vietnamese fish sauce berberuehmten, either in pure form or in combination with other sauces. However, soy and chilli sauce are popular condiments, sauces are said seldom been mixed during the preparation of the meal, but mostly served as a dip with the extra food. Also important and indispensable part of Vietnamese cuisine: fresh herbs, such as different types of basil, Vietnamese mint, parsley and cilantro, serving the food with the necessary freshness and vitamins. Yes, the Vietnamese are very concerned to ensure that their food is healthy and the body is doing well. And although they also like to eat and a lot of meat beyond words that this would probably be many Vietnamese, given the choice, rather decide for Gruen's stuff. Because it's just as healthy.
Just like fruits, which are often like to eat as a dessert or nibbles preferably between. And they are here in an almost infinite abundance: mangos, Passoinsfruechte, papayas, bananas, Drachenfruechte, lychees, mangosteen, And pineapple, and, and. And like the taste! Right fruity and aromatic, so different from the imported fruit, which you can buy from us at home to the supermarket. And yet, despite this abundant supply of fruit and vegetables as a vegetarian it has not always been easy, because most typical dishes and drinks are actually meat dishes, such as the Hanoi noodle soup, pho bo, or beef contains the traditional and very popular fried spring rolls nem, which are filled with minced meat. It is the Vietnamese also incredibly difficult to convey that you do not eat meat. Yes, however you want something a nation that has until not so long ago, so much have to do without and sometimes, in certain Deprived regions also still needs to also explain? They often indicate
there will be so that the vegetarian or vegetarian vegetables may particularly like, and accordingly NEM then filled with more vegetables, but not entirely to give up the meat. This happened on my first visit to Cao Bang. They want and should the hosts in such situations, but also do not meet with them in the head and say no, but one where they have as best we can meet. No, I would have never ever taken over my heart. For me it was in fact already clear from the outset that I am so completely and not come anywhere to the flesh around going, so I shut down small compromises.
Ok, it's healthy, the Vietnamese Food. And always fresh, canned and prepared foods and still largely unknown. Yes and versatile, as already mentioned, that too. And that versatility seems to know no bounds at times. In fact, the Vietnamese insatiable omnivore and somehow all exploiters. Here is a small selection of strange delights: Meat from a young dog, for example, fried or boiled, really no more beautiful sight, the choppy market Hundelschaedel auf'm; snake that were slaughtered in the restaurant before the eyes of the guests, its still beating heart cut out and their blood mixed with hard liquor and drinking is what is supposed to have a potency-enhancing effect, and then: warm duck blood, offal, fit for human boiled duck eggs, and you can actually see the chick already, cooked chicken or Entenfuesse; boiled animal testicles, are also eaten: frogs, snails, turtles, crocodiles, insects, basically anything that runs auf'm floor and creeps in ocean swims and flies in the air. You have to endure quite a bit as a vegetarian ...
