Vietnamese Food has a lot of influences from Chinese, French and Mongolian foods, and I think the other country that receives a lot of influences from other countries in their food is the United States. The food here is a mixture of Italian, French, and etc its hard to pinpoint what's completely American food without the dish having to trace its roots come from a European dish or so.
I think a lot of people who aren't familiar with Asian food tend to confuse different Asian countries' cuisine together like Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. For most of you who are familiar with Chinese and Vietnamese dishes, what do you think differs between two ethnic cuisines? Taste? Flavor? Cooking?
Let's take something simple, how about an Eggroll? How is the Chinese version different from the Vietnamese version?
