I love Vietnamese food, but don't know a whole lot about it. I used to eat it a long time ago in Hong Kong. Do you like it?
Yes I like Vietnamese food and would love to know more about the spices in it and how its prepared.
I know it's usually very fresh and they don't use much in the way of oil and dairy.
I particularly like the way they get the full flavor of meat in the dishes without using the larger portions used in the US.
I know what you mean - it's supposed to be one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. I quite fancy some food like that right now!
I have noticed obesity is not an issue with people who primarily eat the vietnamese dishes and they also seem to be heart healthy in general.
Yes, in the US we should pay attention to other cultures when thinking of healthy eating. Do you have a vietnamese restaurant near you?
No I do not but I research recipes online and order spices to try to make it at home. Much lower calorie content in the vietnamese dishes and that alone makes it worth the extra effort.
Great idea! I must do that. We have a couple of Thai restaurants and the usual Chinese, but no Vietnamese. Ordering online is smart.
